The Ultimate 15-Day High-Impact Revision Strategy
This strategy is designed for maximum retention and score optimization.
Days 1-3: Strengthening Your Core – General English & Basic Computers
Start with sections where consistent effort yields high returns.
-
General English:

Every Day (30-45 mins) for this portion : This is a scoring subject . Dedicate time to MS Office shortcuts and functions (especially Excel formulas and Word formatting options). Review hardware/software basics, types of memory, and internet protocols.
-
Days 4-7: The J&K Focus & Numerical Drill – General Awareness & Numerical Ability
Shift your focus to the fact-heavy and practice-intensive sections.
-
General Awareness (J&K Special):
-
Day 4-5: Deep dive into J&K History, Geography (Rivers, Lakes, Climate, National Parks), and Culture. Use concise notes and revise them.
