Usually, candidates start solving the paper as soon as the test starts. They try to solve the first question, then the next and so on. Invariably, since you are nervous in the beginning, you are unable to crack the first question and then the pressure is spilled onto the next questions and after the initial 15-20 minutes you realise you have not done much.
To avoid such a situation: –
Relax during the first 2 minutes while still making productive use of that time by browsing through the questions.
Mark questions that you are confident about and solve them first just to build confidence.
As you solve mock papers, you will develop a strategy on which kind of questions to attempt first, like whether you should go for Numerical Ability or Reasoning first.
Remember there is a sectional cut off, so you have to manage your time properly to clear all sections and get a high score.
