Build understanding before speed.
Topic-wise practice helps you find a gap, study the explanation and return to the concept. General Studies draws on several subjects; CSAT asks you to apply comprehension, reasoning and numeracy. Both deserve a place in your study plan.
Each available question has four answer options. After you check an answer, work through the explanation even if you chose correctly. Save useful questions for revision and revisit incorrect answers in your mistakes notebook.
