Being a working aspirant, balancing work and studies was very challenging for me. To make the most of the limited preparation time I had, I focused on mock tests instead of lectures and textbooks. I analyzed my performance to identify weak areas and targeted those for improvement.
This is where Oliveboard extensive collection of nearly exam-level mock tests was invaluable. My background from a missionary school helped with English, but General Awareness was my Achilles' heel. Since retaining facts was a challenge, I concentrated on strengthening my other sections instead.
One piece of advice I would like to give fellow aspirants is: take as many mock tests as you can and mix up different exams to broaden your exposure. Remember, if I can do it, so can you with the right approach and guidance.
