  • The candidates should practice maintaining their speed in solving the questions because speed and accuracy is key to selection
  • The candidates should solve the previous year's questions so that they become familiar with the type of questions asked in the exam
  • The candidates should not panic in case they are unable to answer some questions initially. Keeping their cool will help them in solving the rest of the paper.
