• For Child Development & Pedagogy, focus on application-based understanding of theories (e.g. Piaget, Vygotsky) rather than rote memorization
• Practice mock tests regularly and skip questions you are less than 50% sure about, since negative marking (0.25 per wrong answer) applies
• Practice filling OMR sheets at home with a printed sample to build speed and reduce exam-day pressure
