How should you practise with these papers?
- Read a newspaper daily and keep short notes on current affairs; general knowledge questions change every year.
- Practise one reasoning set and one numerical ability set each day, timing each question.
- Solve a full paper in one 60-minute sitting and mark it at +5 and -1, so you learn when to skip a question.
- In the final weeks, take a timed online CUET mock test to practise the computer-based format.
