Preparation Strategy & 12-Week Study Plan

Bihar Vidhan Sabha Recruitment 2025: Getting a high score in the CBT is the first step — follow a disciplined plan and practice regular mock tests. Below is a practical 12-week preparation plan for graduates balancing work/studies.

Weeks 1–4: Foundation

• Revise NCERT basics for General Studies (Polity, History—modern & ancient, Geography basics).
• Start daily quantitative aptitude practice — basic arithmetic, percentage, ratio, time & work, speed & distance.
• Daily reasoning practice — seating arrangement, syllogism, blood relations.
• Complete at least 3 full-length sectional tests by week 4.

Weeks 5–8: Consolidation

• Move to advanced topics in aptitude and reasoning.
• Start timed mocks (80–100 questions in 120 minutes) twice a week.
• Improve speed & accuracy in computation; maintain error log.
• For DEO/LDC/PA aspirants, practice typing and MS Office tasks daily — target 30 wpm and accuracy.

Weeks 9–12: Revision & Skill Test Prep

• Full syllabus revision and attempt at least 6 full mocks under exam conditions.
• Stenography aspirants: daily shorthand practice with mock passages; work on transcription speed.
• DEO aspirants: time-bound key-depression drills; practise sample MS-Excel tasks.
• Polish weaker sections, revise error log and focus on negative marking strategy.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Leaving registration to the last day — site slowdowns often cause problems.
• Uploading wrong image size or blurred photograph — follow the size limits strictly.
• Ignoring the negative marking — blind guessing can cost you dearly.
• Not practising skill tests — for stenographers and DEO, practical speed matters more than theory.

Suggested Books & Resources

• NCERT books (Class 6–10) for General Studies basics.
• Quantitative Aptitude by R.S. Aggarwal (selective practice).
• A Modern Approach to Verbal & Non-Verbal Reasoning by R.S. Aggarwal.
• Typing master or online typing tools for speed practice.
• Hindi shorthand practice material (for PA & Steno posts).
• Official notification PDF — always keep it on hand for clarifications.
