⏱️ ~1 min read

Window: India | CBT + Skill Test (steno speed)

Must-do topics

  • CBT: English grammar/usage, vocab (syn/ant), RC, error spotting; Reasoning (series, analogy), GK (polity, economy, science)
  • Skill Test: dictation speed (C: 100 wpm, D: 80 wpm), transcription (English/Hindi), accuracy + formatting

Top traps (avoid)

  • Grammar by “ear” not rules (subject–verb, modifiers, prepositions)
  • Not practicing dictation timing → buildup of errors
  • GK breadth over frequent sections (polity, schemes, science basics)

Time split

  • CBT: ~120 min; plan 1 min/Q average with quick scan-first
  • Skill: daily 20–30 min dictation + transcription at target wpm

Last-48h checklist

  • Error-spotting patterns; common idioms/phrases
  • Dictation practice: 10-min set → transcribe → check accuracy
  • GK sheet: articles, recent appointments, important days

Quick facts

  • Steno pass = accuracy + format (capitals, punctuation)
  • RC answers are in order within passage segments

Speed tactics

  • In CBT, attempt grammar first; RC second; reasoning/GK last
  • For dictation, use markers for hard words; fill on transcription

Day-of mini-plan

  • Warm-up: 10 grammar fixes + 5 mins of 90–100 wpm dictation
  • Keep calm; in skill test, prioritize clean format over speed bursts
