• Since no negative marking is there for the incorrectly marked answer, the candidates should not leave any question blank. Better, the candidates should apply the theory of elimination to mark any answer (for which they are in doubt). 
• Before appearing for the exam, the candidates should take at least 5 to 6 full-length mock tests on a computer (not on a mobile). So that the candidates will be used to the interface of the system.

The "Active Recall" Revision Strategy

Candidates are advised to stop passively re-reading the notes. It, in turn, creates an "illusion of competence." Hence, the candidates are advised to follow the guidelines below:

• Try to explain the complex concept, such as Quantum Tunneling or DNA Replication, loudly, as if you are teaching a beginner. However, if you fumble, that is exactly what they need to revise. 
• Do not look at the formulas. Instead, for memorization, the candidates should write down the formulas on a daily basis. 

11 40 AM IST - 19 Apr'26

Time Management for the 90-Minute Window

• First 45 Minutes: Only solve the "eye-ball" questions, which are definition, simple logic, and fact-based questions.
• 45 to 80 Minutes: Solve the numericals and multi-statement analysis.
• Last 10 Minutes: Since there is no negative marking, do not leave any question blank. Solve the remaining questions in the last 10 minutes.
