Time management
With 180 questions in 3 hours you have an average of one minute a question. Do the questions you are sure of in each subject first, mark doubtful ones, and return to them. Avoid spending more than two minutes on any single numerical. Because the questions follow the J&K board syllabus, direct formula and concept questions are common, so speed on these decides the rank.
