    Note: Exact distribution may vary slightly as per official notification; always verify the current year notice.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    3) What Each Section Tests<\/h2>\n

    A) Mental Ability Test (MAT)<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • \n

      Figure-based reasoning<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      \u00a0This is the most scoring section<\/strong> if practiced regularly.<\/p>\n

      B) Arithmetic Test<\/h3>\n

      Based on Class 5 level topics:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

          The test is designed to check understanding\u2014not advanced grammar rules.<\/p>\n

          4) Time Distribution Strategy<\/h2>\n

          Suggested approach:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • \n

            MAT \u2192 60 minutes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            Arithmetic \u2192 30 minutes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            Language \u2192 30 minutes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Students should attempt easier questions first and return to time-consuming ones later.<\/p>\n

              \n
            • \n

              The emphasis is on logical ability and foundational skills<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

              6) How to Prepare According to the Pattern<\/h2>\n
                \n
              • \n
