3. First tackle the 25 questions from General Awareness.Devote not more than 15 minutes to this set of questions.
4. For 75 questions on the subject, keep 60 minutes for the first round where you answer only those questions which you know for sure. Do not answer the questions whose answers are doubtful to you in the first round.
5. Keep the next 30 minutes for answering questions which need deliberation.
6. Do not make blind guess works at random except for very very few ,if at all-negative marking will take away credit for your correct answers.
7. Last 5 minutes check if you have answered all the questions.

Remember, time management and making logical choices is the key to success in any competitive examination .
