The key is to understand WHAT to attack!

Understanding the GapsUnderstanding the Gaps

Bridge the gaps

Build Conceptual Clarity & Fine-tune test-taking skills

Bridging the knowledge gap

• List all areas requiring improvement

• Rate their impact on the score & on the effort required to improve

• Prioritise

• Spend 6 – 8 hrs every day and work on identified critical areas

Bridging the efficiency gap• Be in control while taking the

test

• Practice the A-B-C approach

• Keep an eye on options

Bridging the Knowledge GapList all areas requiring improvement

Rate their impact on the score & on

the effort required to improve

Prioritise the topics

Spend 6 to 8 hours every day and

work on identified critical areas

Bridging the Knowledge GapIdentify high-frequency topics across sections

Ensure a firm conceptual base in these topics Practice topic-wise questions from the Application Module

(Part B) of the BRM AND/OR online section tests

For other topics, ensure familiarity with basic

concepts Easy questions from these topics should be attempted

Selecting the right questions – ABC Approach

Categorize questions as

• A Type – Abhi karo (Easy, <1 Min to solve)

• B Type – Baad mein karo (Moderate, >1 Min

to solve)

• C Type – Chhod do (Difficult, 2 Min+ to solve)

Parameters for Categorization

• Familiarity: Have you solved similar questions in

the past?

• Concepts Required: Can you handle it?

• The path to the solution: Can you visualize it?

• Estimated time: Can you solve it in less than a

min?

Parameters for classification

• Reading – Did you understand the question?

• Problem definition – Do you know what to do?

• Steps/ time to solve – How long will it take?

YES

YES

Less than 1 min

A – Solve

IMMEDIATELY!!!





PROBABLY YES

YES

More than 1 min

B – Mark for Review/

Save for later





NO IDEA

PROBABLY YES

By next year!!

C – Mark Randomly/

Leave it

To summarise…To summarise…

And, Finally…..

Be positive

Build mental stamina Practice concentrating

for 2 hours at a stretch

⨂ Don’t overdo it – studying 8 hours at a stretch is a no-no!

Avoid undue pressure

Just don’t give up while taking the test
