But don't worry, your confidence and practice will sail you through. Keeping in mind the tough competition, candidates should ensure that they go to the exam hall with full preparation and should avoid the slightest mistake in the exam.

3) English Language      -  15 minutes

This is important because you need to attempt sufficient questions in order to clear the sectional as well as overall cutoff so keep that in mind and attempt accordingly.


Another important thing is negative marking. There is no point attempting huge number of questions if you don’t attempt them accurately because negative marks penalty will only ruin your chances of making the cut. Select questions that you attempt first smartly. Try to attempt topics that are less time consuming first.

Another thing that is quite clear in the recent exams is that the tough questions make many students nervous and panicky.  Students, the difficult questions are tough for everyone and its not just you. The patience plays a key role in dealing with such situation. So be patient and if you feel that you are unable to get the answer to the questions then move on because in the end, what matters is the accurate questions so try to keep that in mind.

At last we like to say that don't think too much about how will tomorrow go, just believe in your hard work and hours after hours you have put in and extract confidence from this very fact.
