I had luckily found my two years old notes on one drive, which are largely incomplete. I'm sharing it so that u may have an idea. After multiple ways of making notes tried, I struck with this manner
If there were recurring events, I used to create a page for them and update there. This I mad largely keeping mains in my mind
Dream going to LBSNAA and attending the FC cuz there's no other course which is more fun filled. Work hard to reach there.
Use of common sense while solving questions. This is a format of question in which information is exchanged between two objects. For example : the function of untoc is exchanged wirh uncac. So if you come across these type of questions, think well and just use common sense. Things will start making sense
So when you guys are attempting the test, go n multiple reading
1. First reading - read all questions, but mark only those which you are a 100% sure. You'll mark 35-40 questions, or even less. Doesn't matters. But read all questions, if you could eliminate options, eliminate them.
What i used to do is, ✔️ symbol near the question number if i had marked it correctly, ❌ if i have no idea about the question and I'll do it in the last round, 1⃣/2⃣ if I had to choose one option from two. Which means I've eliminated two options. I'd strike those two down.
1⃣/3⃣ if I have to choose one option of three, which means I've been able to eliminate one option and struck with three.
So in the initial one hour
- i have read all the questions and categorized them
- i have marked the questions which i knew for 100% correct
2. Now, I'll only mark the questions for which I have eliminated two options. There's a 50% probability of getting the right answer, so i won't leave a single question due to confusion. At the end of this round, I'd have taken a decision on all the questions in which two options were eliminated. 20-25 questions marked. Total is at 60-65
3. Now mark all those in which you've eliminated one option. You may think this as risky so a math. Take for example there are 10 questions in this category. Normal probability is you'll get 3.33 questions correct. Let's keep it 4. So you'll get 8 marks. Now you've got 6 questions wrong. 6*.67= 4.02. So in net you're scoring 4 additional marks though you've made 6 questions wrong. So don't forget to attend it.
4. Now for the final round. You've marked around 75 questions but this is not enough. Though i didn't keep a hard rule on marking the number of questions , i always used to mark as many as i can. Even if i could find a small hint or my common sense guided me, i marked those questions.
So, this final round is the make or break round. Be very careful to mark but do mark. Use your common sense, look for hints, think but do mark. At any day don't mark less than 75. The higher question u mark, the better you are.

Good Afternoon Guys.... We have discussed with the platform who provided us with a free mock test couple of weeks back...
After much deliberation we convinced them to give their test series (which has 25 test .. sectional..CSAT...Full length) at minimum Cost for members of this group only.(₹500... actual cost 3500)... though we pushed it to provide the same for free...
The test quality is decent enough for practice..... Particularly the 3 full length one and CSAT.
Based on individual preparation level one can take any sectional test as well...
