Bottom-line

Time management will be playing
the role of Virat Kohli for your exam. Which means, you must maintain a proper
time management strategy in order to attempt good.

Safe attempts cannot be assumed,
so thinking about them is a waste of time.

If you are having exam on 5th,
no need to read Rail/Union Budget thoroughly, if you are worried, you can just
read it at a glance. But we expect they will not appear in the 5th.

All the best. Have faith in
yourself, You can and you will.

May the Force be with you. J
