  • NCERT Science books of Classes 9 and 10 cover most General Science questions asked in Railway exams.
  • Revise static GK (Constitution, history, geography) and the last 6–8 months of current affairs.
  • Reasoning questions in Railway exams are mostly direct — practise series, coding-decoding, directions and blood relations daily.
  • Practise on a computer-based mock with a timer so you get used to the on-screen palette and navigation.
