How to use DSSSB MTS PYQs like a topper
Step 1: Attempt like a real exam
Since the official duration is 2 hours for 200 questions, set a timer and attempt the paper in one sitting.
Step 2: Make a “mistake log”
After checking answers, note each wrong question under:
- Concept gap (didn’t know the topic)
- Silly mistake (misread/overconfidence)
- Time trap (took too long)
This tells you exactly what to revise next.
Step 3: Revise by section
- Maths: speed formulas + short tricks + accuracy drills
- Reasoning: identify the “type” (series, analogy, coding, syllogism) and practice 20–30 more of the same type
- GA: convert repeated PYQ topics into short notes
- Hindi/English: focus on comprehension + grammar basics (PYQ-driven)
Step 4: Repeat with 8–12 papers
After 8–12 full papers, you’ll notice:
- repeated topics
- your average score range
- the section that’s eating your time
