PM: How did you prepare for the Reasoning section?
Deepthi: This is my most favourite and strongest section. I decided to take up exams just because I love solving puzzles in reasoning. I was able to score 84/100 in prelims because of reasoning. I found ‘Arihant’ to be up to mark when it comes to difficulty level.
PM: How did you prepare for the General Awareness section?
Deepthi: This section alone decides your selection!!! This is the most unpredictable section as anything and everything under sky can come as a question in exam! 🙁 I’ve seen people preparing for general awareness section in mains, even before the commencement of prelims. As I am already working in Infosys, I got the chance to read G.A after getting qualified for prelims. (15 days) I solely relied on Affairscloud and made a note of every single detail. Gave quizzes in bankers adda, Jagranjosh, StudyIQ, GKtoday. Waking up early in the morning is the toughest thing for me 🙂 , but have done it daily to revise current affairs, that’s when I knew I would definitely make it!!! 🙂
