Preparation Tips
- Focus on Arithmetic: 80-90% of the paper comes from Profit & Loss, Percentage, Ratio, and Time & Work.
- Memorize Formulas: For Mensuration, direct formula-based questions are asked.
- Speed is Key: You have less than 1 minute per question. Practice using “Digit Sum” and “Unit Digit” methods to eliminate options quickly.
