What should you do?
Focus on time management. As we have predicted &
suggested earlier, you need to focus on time management in order to secure a
seat for mains.
First do the doable problems like inequalities, series, quadratic
equations, syllogism.
Make sure you choose the puzzles wisely. One must not spend
too much time on one question or one section. Secure as much as possible by
attempting the easy ones. Puzzles may seem to be easy but they are turning out
to be quite difficult, so do not spend too much time doubting yourself.
A good attempt will be somewhere between 48 to 56.

All the best!!
