MCQ strategy

The following questions are compiled from Diary of Events from The Hindu.
I am sure it would be beneficial to all.
Some strategy to see at the Multiple Choice Question (MCQ)
1. Read full question with options
2. There is relevance of each option even if false it has some information.
3. Guessing in negative marks should be the last priority.
4. First do sure shot question (that is confident knowledge)
5. Secondly do question with around 2 options conflicting as answer (half knowledge)
6. With limited time and limited number ,do guessing (intuition based no blind guess)
7. In exam scenario solve each question mark it as you read.
8. In practice tests whatever is wrong get the knowledge to correct it.
9. 100% solving is utopian target so don’t run after it as it is qualifying exam you have to do to qualify for mains. So have practical mentality.
10. GS is like thali with various foods option in it. Everything you’ll see you’ll like is not mandatory. Whatever is your favorite do it first.
11. Enough of Instruction :: just do the question to learn more and making your knowledge confident. You might read less but still be confident of your knowledge.
