Preparation Strategy

1. Map Every Section to Time: Delhi Home Guard splits 80 questions across 1 section in 90 minutes — decide a per-section time budget before test day so no single section eats your buffer.
2. Prioritize the Syllabus by Weight: Focus first on Arithmetic and General Science, then move to General Intelligence and Reasoning, Constitution of India, Indian History and Culture, Geography and General Knowledge, Current Affairs, General Knowledge (Delhi Specific) — these are the subjects tested in the actual paper structure.
3. Respect the Negative Marking: A wrong answer costs 0 mark(s), so only attempt a question when you can eliminate at least two options — guessing blind against this penalty is a net loss over a full paper.
4. Simulate the Real Timer: Take full-length 90-minute mock tests on YourMockTest under exam conditions before attempting the real Delhi Home Guard — pacing under pressure is a separate skill from knowing the syllabus.
5. Review Every Mistake: After each mock, spend more time reviewing wrong answers than attempting new questions — a repeated mistake in practice is a guaranteed mistake in the real exam.
