rohtak mock

Hey, I need some help regarding the Rohtak mock. Today, while solving the paper, I started with English since it is my strongest area, and I completed it within 30–40 minutes. After that, I moved to QA, which requires more time and problem-solving. However, I started feeling tired, since in the Rohtak mock you have to attempt the maximum number of questions within 120 minutes. How do you guys manage the tiredness, and what should I do? or is it just me

There's no one approach that will solve your problem. My method won't work for you. Your method won't work for someone else.

Your problems is also very common -- mental fatigue hits hard in long mock tests (Rohtak is 2 hours).

Section Order Strategy:

  1. Consider doing QA first when you're fresh, even if English is stronger. Save your strongest section for when you're tired, it requires less cognitive load.
  2. Or try a rotation: Start with 15-20 min of QA (hardest problems), switch to English (refresh), return to QA. Honestly, just experiment and see what vibes with you.

During the Test:

  1. Drink a lot of water honestly. This re-energises me like crazy (maybe different for you).
  2. If stuck on a problem, skip and return later rather than burning energy.
  3. After completing a tough section, do 2-3 easy questions from another section as a mental reset.

Before the Test:

  1. Don't study intensely 2-3 hours before -- that also reduces your "freshness" of mind.
  2. Don't eat too much such that you feel sleepy.
  3. Get proper sleep, don't write mocks when you're sleepy.

Build Stamina:

  1. Take full-length mocks regularly at the same time of day as the actual exam.
  2. Practice maintaining focus for 120+ minutes -- your brain adapts over time.
