A clear subject-wise revision strategy is a must. Here’s how you should revise each stream subject to fetch maximum marks in the upcoming exam:

Paper 1: Descriptive English

Descriptive English includes Essay, Precis, Letter, and Reading Comprehension. At this stage:

  • Essay: Practice one essay daily. Keep in mind the structure of the essay. It must have an introduction, a body, and an effective conclusion at the end of the essay. Keep the language of the essay simple and avoid grammatical mistakes. Practice essays on finance, economy, technical, and social issues. You can only improve your writing skills by writing. There is no other way to achieve it.
  • Precis: When you write, try your best to condense editorial articles without losing the meaning. One practice per day is enough.
  • Reading Comprehension: Attempt at least one passage daily under timed conditions. It improves speed and accuracy.
  • Letter Writing: Then comes letter writing! To master the art of writing formal and informal letters, you need to practice daily. Make sure your letter is clear and showcases the correct tone.

Timing is important, and it slips out of your hands very quickly. Paper 1 gives only 60 minutes. So, every exercise must be timed.
