⚠️Some of you are confused what Thematic test means and WHY THIS IS NOT ANY RANDOM TEST series- So I am directly posting one question from the test for you to understand🙂
As soon as you see this your probable reaction-
" How and from where am I supposed to byheart all this from- What nonsense is this ! "

1. How to Revise High yielding PYQ themes
2. some new relevant facts ( the reasons for putting these facts out of all the other stuff in the world is Some current development)
3. Learn and practice logical elimination ( not through some elimination technique but using your existing knowledge alone)
⚠️Giving this clarity for making an informed decision - Now read this- Click here
