Mistakes to avoid during the last 15 days<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this section, we will discuss some important things that you should not do in the last 15 days.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not start a New topic<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During this time, focus on revision and do not start any new topic, as it will only consume your time and will not add any value to your preparation. To prepare for any topic, you need at least 3-4 revision sessions and a lot of practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do mock test analysis thoroughly<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is necessary to do a mock test analysis. Check where you went wrong and what mistakes you have committed. In which question do you get stuck? Have you miscalculated when it comes to the quant section? Have you been able to recall the concepts or tricks used while solving the questions? Analyse in a very detailed manner and try not to repeat them again while giving another mock test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid YouTube Marathons and Irrelevant Telegram groups<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many times, what students do is they join telegram groups that provide not-so-quality content or question banks and start solving their questions, which are of no use. In this way, you may waste your time and efforts; instead, take any mock test series that provides topic-wise tests as well as practice questions from the mock test series. You can also join our mock test series, where we provide one full-length mock test for free. The same goes for YouTube videos; if you\u2019ve completed all the important topics and have covered every minute detail, then go for the YouTube marathons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid practicing rigorously in the last two days<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many students use this kind of practice, where they start solving questions rigorously just before two days of the exam, and this is not a good thing. It will only create mental exhaustion, which is not appropriate for you during these days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we have given a 15-day strategy for OICL Assistant along with the list of important topics and mistakes to avoid. To practice questions, you can take our mock test series or join our banking courses, where we provide mock tests, along with analysis and video, and PDF courses.
