Last-Minute Preparation Tips for 09 May 2026
With just days remaining, smart preparation matters more than marathon studying. Here is what toppers and railway exam coaches consistently recommend:
Do This in the Last 72 Hours
- Revise your notes and formula sheets — don’t start any new topic
- Attempt at least one full mock test daily and analyse your mistakes
- Focus on current affairs from the last 6 months (national & international)
- Practice mental calculation — avoid using a calculator at all
- Visit the exam centre location a day before to avoid last-minute confusion
- Sleep at least 7–8 hours the night before — fatigue kills performance
- Prepare your documents folder the evening before: admit card, Aadhaar, photo ID, photo
Exam Strategy Inside the Hall
- Attempt General Awareness questions first — they are quickest to answer
- Skip and return to doubtful questions; do not get stuck
- Avoid random guessing due to negative marking (–1/3 per wrong answer)
- Aim to attempt 85+ questions with 80%+ accuracy for a safe score
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Downloading the admit card at the last minute — server crashes are common
- Not carrying the original Aadhaar — biometric verification is non-negotiable
- Bringing a mobile phone inside the exam hall — it leads to immediate disqualification
- Ignoring discrepancies on the admit card before exam day
- Not checking the exact reporting time — late entry is not permitted after gate closes
- Blindly guessing answers due to negative marking
- Relying on unofficial social media for updates instead of official RRB websites
