Preparation Tips
Master Rajasthan GK first — it carries the highest weightage in Paper I and is the single biggest differentiator. Use PYQs to identify high-frequency topics.
For Math, focus on speed over depth — most questions test concepts up to 10th class but require quick calculation. Practice mental math daily.
Hindi grammar — focus on संधि, समास, and मुहावरे. These appear in every paper and are easy marks if memorized properly.
English — work on grammar fundamentals (tenses, articles, prepositions) and synonym-antonym vocabulary. Reading comprehension is the highest-mark single category.
Solve at least 5 full-length mock tests in the final month. Time management on a 150-question 3-hour paper is critical.
