Do not burden yourself with new topics and do study regularly: Staying focused is the key. At this point of time, many new things and thoughts might be popping in your mind, but you must not let them get over you. Don’t get confused by taking up too many new things or topics at the last moment. A regular study of all these sections for prelims -English, Reasoning and Quantitative Aptitude - are important before the exam.

Go with a plan: Candidates should go with a proper plan. You should know what your strong topics are and where you lag. You have to be careful of negative marking as well. Sometimes a particular topic or question, for example, a puzzle or a question of data interpretation may be very difficult, and while attempting it you may get carried away by devoting more time to that particular question. It will mean that you will be compromising with other questions as you will have less time for them.

So in these last days, test series are your real saviour as by taking them every day you can work on your strategy of time and topic management.
