    TIPS AND TRICKS
     
     
    1.    Keep up with your reading as the reading and comprehension tricks you into making silly mistakes in the English language. Also keep up with your current affairs by reading newspapers and listening to discussions.
     
    2.    Try and do puzzles and crosswords which increases vocabulary which trains your mind to deal with intelligence and critical reasoning.
     
    3.    As for Data Analysis read up on a lot of bar graphs and pie charts to increase your sense for analysis.
     
    4.    Remember when in younger classes you used to practise mental maths. Use the experience and practise on solving maths questions.
     
    5.    Lastly take as many mock tests gas possible to keep up with the time during your exams. For this I would like to suggest PREPGURU application designed for this very purpose by YOUTH4WORK.
