First you have to clear tier 1, which will have the four sections — general intelligence and reasoning, general awareness, quantitative aptitude, English comprehension.
Let’s start with quantitative aptitude, the only subject that guarantees full marks if practised properly. Try solving as many questions as possible, with every attempt, your chance of accuracy increases, ensuring better overall performance. An important thing to remember here is that you should not try to practice from multiple books, instead stick to one-two books.
NCERT book up to class 10 can be used to have better clarity on concepts and fundamentals. Candidates can take the help of RD Sharma, for algebra, trigonometry, geometry and mensuration related questions. They should sincerely solve at least two mock tests in a week, to analyse their performance and to see where they stand in terms of preparation.
For English, focus on reading. Read editorials of reputed newspapers, refer to some very good novels, and make sure to write down the words that are difficult to understand. Once the list of all the difficult word is ready, look for their meanings, antonyms, synonyms as well as usage. By doing this, candidates will get the confidence to perform better in cloze test, comprehension, jumbled words, idioms and synonyms and antonyms. Candidates can refer to Neetu Singh’s Vol 1 and Vol 2 to prepare for English. They can also refer, Plinth to Paramount book to practice grammar rules.
Reasoning should be practised daily. Candidates can refer question papers of the previous year for that. Solving 30 to 40 practice sets in a day will be of great help and enable the candidates to score well in this section.
Not limited to the syllabus, general knowledge is a bit unpredictable but not difficult if prepared by the right approach.
