Overview

This section exists so the table of contents has a stable first entry. It is long enough to wrap on mobile widths and exercise the reading column measure.

Why This Matters in the Exam

Weight, recurring question styles and the marks-per-minute trade-off.

Most aspirants lose marks here to avoidable slips, not to difficulty.

Step-by-Step Method

  1. Restate the problem in your own words

  2. Pick the invariant before any formula

  3. Eliminate two options structurally

  4. Verify with a boundary case

Common Mistakes

  • Off-by-one boundaries

  • Misread units

  • Skipping the sanity check

Practice Plan

Three timed sets a week beats one marathon. Track error categories, not scores.
