Focus on Bihar GK: Questions related to Bihar’s history, economy, and current affairs often carry weight.
Take a couple of mocks: Not to learn new things, but to get into the exam rhythm.
Mind your accuracy: Remember, wrong answers cost marks. Skip what you’re unsure of.
Rest well: A fresh mind will help more than an all-nighter before the exam.
