- Do not waste more time in a particular question. If you are not confident, skip and move on to another question
- Try attempting the General awareness and English section first as these two are considered easier and less time consuming
- Plan slightly more time for quant and reasoning as both the sections need time and more complex

- In reasoning and computer aptitude, solve the easy ones first like inequalities, data sufficiency, blood relations, number series etc.
- Choose seating arrangement question over puzzle as it is relatively less time consuming
