Syllabus and Approach

Aptitude (Maths) & Reasoning:
SSLC Standard (10th Standard) level of questions
Try to understand all the basic concepts clearly
Practice - Practice - Practice
Role of PYQ - Must Do - Practice more previous year questions (more than 150 sets available in online) - you can also practice JE, ALP Questions

General Awareness:
Comparatively High numbers of questions asked from Science and Current Affairs
Do basics from NCERTs or TNSCERTs - 6th to 10th Science and Social Science & 11th 12th History, Geography, Economy basics & facts
Questions are quite tough & maximum possible score is 25–30
concentrate on Science & CA
For CA you can do any online materials (weekly, monthly, yearly) - personally i do Affairs Cloud half yearly compilations

What to Do?

1. Scoring parts are Aptitude & Reasoning - Target 100% in both - The only possible way to achieve this is Practice
2. For practicing i used to do - Testbook only (Mainly previous year)
3. For GS - Concentrate on Basics + CA
Use Arihant or Lucent GK books for more factual information
4. Do Practice sets every day + make notes the mistakes made in the practice tests. This will really helpful to revise the facts.
