How to attempt the RRB Officer Mains Exam?
The RRB PO Mains Examination is around the corner and the students who are confident that their preliminary examination will be cracked. The students can follow the below steps to ensure that they perform well at the examination:
- Take good sleep and a balanced diet a day before the examination. This will help to ensure that you are completely relaxed. Avoid consuming junk or oily food as it makes the mind slow and lethargic.
- Ensure that you take all your protective gears such as N95 masks, sanitiser and gloves with yourself. This will protect you while appearing for the exam and without carrying these things you won’t be allowed to sit in the examination.
- The candidates should start revising the General Awareness and computer awareness part 1 week before the examination. This revision is very important as it will help in covering all the previous learnings.
- The time duration is a composite time of 2 hours hence the aspirant should start with GK, and Computer awareness first. Try to complete all this in at least 10-15 minutes.
- Post its completion, work on the English language/Hindi paper and try to complete that in around 15-20 minutes.
- After this, you are left with 90-95 minutes divide that into two parts and work on each separately.
- Work with easy questions first and save tough ones for the later part.
