- Practise 30 to 40 Maths problems every day and aim near a minute per question
- Read newspapers daily for English and general awareness
- Take 10 to 15 full mock exams before the real one
- Do easy questions first and avoid guessing because of negative marking
The guide suggests spending the most effort on high-value Maths topics such as algebra, trigonometry and calculus, with daily problem practice and a strict time limit per question.
For General Ability it advises NCERT books for the basics, newspapers for current affairs and short revision notes. It also stresses grammar and vocabulary for English.
Previous-year papers and 10 to 15 mock exams help you learn the pattern and find weak areas. The guide also reminds NDA aspirants to keep up daily exercise, sleep and calm, since fitness and composure matter for the whole selection process.
