- Analyzing topic of expertise or topics which can be mastered in few days: going through previous year papers helps us to know, in which portion one is good and in which one is average and where we are lacking. Like I know I am good and fast in arithmetic, geometry and mensuration portion so I will first go to these portions. Everyone has his own topic of expertise and it can be found if one wants to know.
