    1. Welcome, Asif Ji. Just one quick tip for now!
      ” Many people read a lot. Though Reading is important, one who revises well can crack it. Revision is key.”
      So, I am giving most of the content in a Quiz format that makes you revise multiple times effortlessly.
      Have a Great Day!

    1. Nagarajan!
      (i) Read-Revise-Repeat: Now keep revising, as I always say.
      (ii) Double read-before bubble: On the day of the examination, read the questions at least twice before you bubble. we tend to do mistakes that we know very well by reading the question just once.
      (iii) Finally, it is the better contestant who wins. Try to be one. All the best.
