⏳ Goal:
✔ Simulate the real CSAT exam environment.
✔ Improve speed and accuracy in Reasoning, Maths, and Comprehension.
✔ Analyze mistakes and identify weak areas for revision.
🕘 Time Management Plan (3 Hours)
| Time Slot | Task | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 9:00 AM – 9:15 AM | Warm-up | Quick revision of formulas & shortcuts for Quant and Reasoning. |
| 9:15 AM – 11:15 AM | Solve Full-Length CSAT Paper | Solve 80 Questions in 2 hours (UPSC pattern). |
| 11:15 AM – 11:45 AM | Self-Analysis | Check answers, identify mistakes & note weak areas. |
| 11:45 AM – 12:30 PM | Weak Area Focus | Revise incorrect concepts, solve 10 extra questions from weak topics. |
📑 Step-by-Step Approach
📝 Step 1: Set Up Exam Conditions (9:15 AM – 11:15 AM)
- Sit in a quiet place and follow real exam timing.
- Set a timer for 2 hours and do NOT take breaks.
- Use only pen and rough paper (no calculator).
📊 Step 2: Attempt the CSAT Paper
CSAT has 80 questions, with the following subject breakdown:
| Section | No. of Questions | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Reading Comprehension | 25-30 | Attempt first, as it’s scoring. |
| Maths (Quantitative Aptitude) | 20-25 | Use shortcuts & elimination for calculations. |
| Reasoning (Logical & Analytical) | 20-25 | Attempt carefully, avoid traps. |
| Data Interpretation | 5-10 | Focus on quick calculations. |
🚀 Tip:
✔ Start with comprehension (easy marks) → Move to Reasoning & Maths.
✔ Mark difficult questions for later to avoid wasting time.
✔ Skip time-consuming Maths puzzles & return if time allows.
🧐 Step 3: Self-Analysis (11:15 AM–11:45 AM)
- Check answers using the answer key.
- Mark wrong questions and note the mistake type:
- ❌ Conceptual error (Need revision)
- ❌ Calculation mistake (Be careful)
- ❌ Time mismanagement (Need faster approach)
🔍 Step 4: Target Weak Areas (11:45 AM – 12:30 PM)
- For Maths mistakes: Revise formulas, solve 5-10 extra questions.
- For Reasoning errors: Identify patterns, solve similar MCQs.
- For Comprehension issues: Practice skimming & identifying keywords.
