TARGET SETTING

This is very important exercise. In our day to day life, if we are planning to visit some place, the very first thing we will do is to know the target Distance of that place which we have to cover. In this exam on basis of previous Cut-offs, the following is the general Target for each aspirant. 

The target will give us insight about the distance we have to cover.

The above is for general strategy, but we need to be specific, for that you need to understand two concepts

1.          Category of Questions.

2.          Category of Aspirant.

QUESTIONS			ASPIRANT
Type	MATHS/ REASONING	ENG/ GK MARKETING /COMPUTER	MOCK TEST SCORE	Type
EASY 60-70%	Less Lengthy	Important	70% & more	Excellent
MEDIUM 10-20%	Lengthy	Less Imp	60% - 70%	Good
DIFFICULT 5-15%	Very Lengthy	Rare/ Not Important	Less than 60 %	Poor

1.      Category of Questions.

In any exam there are three types of questions- Easy, Medium & Difficult. The cracking any exam is like winning a game. FIFA winner Germany won it by one Goal, in the same way No questions you are attempting is not important, but comparatively how you are performing is more important.

As you need a strategy for any game in the same way you need it for your exam. Your strategy should be attempting all the Easy Questions, then half of Moderate questions if time available, by skipping Difficult Questions, because they are like hurdles for you.  We can check the Comparative performance on basis of previous year question paper and its cut-off. On that basis we have figured out that easy questions share the maximum part, but they are hidden behind the difficult questions. We need to figure out them.

2.       Category of Aspirants: -There are three categories of aspirants; we need to find our category. Give one Mock Test first, and then on basis of our marks in each section and total score, we will find out our category and we will try to improve in each section, if we are POOR we will try to become GOOD, if we are GOOD, and then try to be excellent.

In GK- Don’t put question on “mark n review”.

Reason: if you don’t know the answer for a general awareness question on the first timereading, there is very low chance that you can solve it by “mark and review” (unlike mathematics or reasoning question). Here in GA question, you’ll just waste time in mark-n-review, and in the worst case, your mind will seduce you into tickingsome wrong answer just to overcome to the imaginary cut-offs.

In Comprehension

Suppose, after reading the paragraph, you’ve to answer five question andsuppose you can answer only 3 question. Remaining two questions are difficult. Now you decide to putother two on “mark and review”.

Problem= when you come back to review the same question at the end of exam, the passage wouldhave evaporated from your head, and you’ll need to re-read the whole passage again just for thosetwo question =lot of time wasted. Therefore, solve all Comprehension questions at once after readingthe passage, if you can’t solve any, then just leave it, don’t come back later for mark& review. 

TIME STRATEGY

TOPIC	TARGET MARKS	TIME ALLOTMENT	OTHER DETAILS
General Awareness	30+	20min	Time is very valuable and we need to be careful while spending it.
Marketing /Computer	30+	20min
English	30+	25min
Quantitative Aptitude	25+	35min
Reasoning	25+	35min
Total	135+	135 min
