TURN PYQs INTO A REVISION PLAN

How to use NDA previous year papers

  1. Attempt a paper under a timer. Keep Maths and GAT as separate attempts. Each written paper has a 2½-hour time limit.
  2. Track the topic behind each mistake. Note whether you missed a concept, misread a question or ran out of time. Return to that topic in Maths or GAT practice.
  3. Review, then test again. Work through guided solutions in the practice module and attempt an online mock to rehearse your timing.
