    April sessions were reported as easy but lengthy; one session (the fifth) was moderately difficult. Expect a similar difficulty for May 9 since the second attempt aims to give candidates a chance to improve scores, not to change the pattern.

    Logical Reasoning is likely to be easy but time-consuming, with more single questions than heavy sets. Abstract Reasoning should feature series-based questions. Quantitative Aptitude will probably be dominated by Arithmetic and calculation-heavy items, with about 2 Data Interpretation sets possible. Verbal Ability will include standard grammar and vocabulary items plus roughly 4 RC passages that are easy to comprehend.

    Time management is critical, especially in Quantitative Aptitude. Candidates who appeared in April should analyse hits and misses and focus practice on the question types they got wrong. In the last days, practise only expected question types and refine a smart question-selection strategy for test day.

    Coaching reports and session reviews suggest targeting about 150+ attempted good questions to reach the 99.99 percentile mark.

    Quick prep checklist

    • Review April session mistakes and note time sinks.
    • Drill arithmetic and DI sets under timed conditions.
    • Practise LR singlets and set-based questions for speed.
    • Do 3–4 RC passages daily to build quick comprehension.
    • Simulate full-length papers to test question selection and stamina.
