Consistency matters more than motivation. Fix your study slots.
Learn Tables 2–25 by heart

Practice Squares (1–50 daily, aim for 1–100)
Memorize squares to solve approximation and quadratic questions faster.
Memorize Cubes (1–30)
Very useful for number series and quick calculations.
Practice Fraction to Percentage Conversion
Like 1/2 = 50%, 1/3 = 33.33%, 1/8 = 12.5%—super important for DI.
Learn Percentage to Fraction Tricks
Example: 20% = 1/5, 12.5% = 1/8, 62.5% = 5/8
Master Multiplication Shortcuts
Learn Vedic maths/basic tricks for faster 2-digit and 3-digit multiplication.
Daily Simplification & Approximation Drill (20–30 Qs)

Use a Timer While Practicing
Speed maths without timing won’t help in exam pressure.
Keep a Formula & Shortcut Notebook
Write every trick, formula, and repeated mistake.
