          tips to bas yehi hai ki; at that moment when u r giving the exam, mind ko free rakhna, because all the questions will be based on your reading and understanding ability. To jab koi cheez free mind se read and understand karo to wo easy lagegi and solve bhi hogi, the same ques if I give you here on site for practice, wo ho sakta hai tumhe easy lage, coz u r doing it without any tension now and you are relaxed; but same wahi ques exam me aa jaye to ek hesitation rehta hai , it is just a fear ki ques difficult hai; that due to exam pressure; to just keep your mind free on that day, read the ques and passage of suppose RC, sentence fillers, odd sentence these all are based on reading ability, read them carefully and with free mind, and if u think that you know the answer mark it without hesitation, if u have any confusion, just skip the ques. Mostly the confusion will arise in sentence connectors; so be very careful in that;
