Preparation Strategy

1. Map Every Section to Time: OSSSC TGT splits 100 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 Full Test (Paper 1) and Paper 1, then move to Arts, Science (CBZ), Science (PCM), Subject Test, Subject Test (Paper 1), GK & CA, Arithmetic, Reasoning Ability, English, Computer Literacy, Pedagogy — 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 OSSSC TGT — 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.
