Universal rules
- Fixed start time · phone off · single sitting · no pauses.
- Prelims: use the OMR sheet; apply negative marking honestly.
- Mains: ruled A4, obey word limits, one pen, no reference material.
- Score with the session's rubric; log every mistake in your personal error notebook.
- Reserve 2–3× the session time for analysis afterwards. The analysis is the real gain.
