Q. How did you prepare for the English section?

English section has always been my forte. I used to read newspaper editorials and a lot of novels during college, which eventually helped me in gaining a good grasp over this section. To maintain my consistency in this section, I solely relied on giving mocks.

Q. How did you prepare for the Quantitative Aptitude section?

To prepare for quantitative aptitude, I started with learning multiplication tables till 25, cubes till 25, and squares of upto first 50 numbers. I used to revise them daily. I learnt how to solve quadratic equations and few other concepts through YouTube. I also solved the arithmetic section from Rakesh Yadav Class Notes. That helped me a lot in building up my basics. Post that, I used to give mocks from PracticeMock for building speed and accuracy.

Q. How did you prepare for the Reasoning section?

After learning the approach of solving puzzles, I attempted mocks to build my speed and accuracy in solving such questions.

Q. What was your strategy for the General Awareness section?

I used to revise Weekly Current Affairs from AffairsCloud PDF and give quizzes on PracticeMock. Although personally, I found the GA section to be on a tougher side this time and couldn’t score a lot in this section.

Q. What was your overall strategy? Did you follow a study schedule? If yes, please share the details

Completely relied on YouTube.

Q. Did you face any hurdle as well? How did you overcome it?

I didn’t have a very strict study schedule. But I made sure that I give mocks as much as possible and keep revising current affairs. I initially found the mains exam to be very time taking and mind- numbing. But then I got used to the time duration as consistent practice helped me in getting accustomed to the rigour of these exams.

Q. Did PracticeMock help you in your success? Please elaborate

Yes, I would attribute a big part of my success to the mocks provided by Practice Mock. This was the only mock test series that I followed religiously and it helped me in preparing for my exams in the best way possible. The mocks used to be tougher than the real exam level, due to which I used to find the real exam paper a cakewalk. Also, the analysis provided after submitting the paper was top-notch. A huge thanks to PracticeMock for making this journey easier for me.

Q. What’s your message for the fellow aspirants who are preparing for competitive exams?

Keep practicing. Brush up all formulas daily. Give a lot of mocks. For someone who finds English challenging, try learning the basic rules of tenses, followed by reading a good English daily. Never ever give up and you’ll find yourself on the other side of the journey. 🙂

This brings us to the end of the article. We sincerly hope that these success stories keep motivating you at all times so that you keep working hard to achieve your goal of clearing these competitive exams.
