Mock tests on the official NTA website help familiarize with the computer-based format. Practice time management since each section has strict time limits.

Mujhe lagta hai, students should prioritize subjects based on their target courses and universities. Don’t try to attempt all subjects unnecessarily – focus on quality over quantity, yaar!
