DSSSB PRT Study Tips from Top Performers

1Prioritize Section B (Teaching Methodology) since it represents 50% of the total marks and has mandatory qualifying cut-offs (40% for General). Keep your concepts on child development theories and education policies (NEP 2020, RTE 2009) clear.
2Work on your speed and time management. Solving 200 questions in 120 minutes leaves only 36 seconds per question. Practice skipping lengthy calculations in Numerical Ability to save time for pedagogy reading.
3Practice negative marking management. With a 0.25 mark deduction per wrong answer, only make educated guesses when you can rule out at least two options.
4Prepare Section A systematically. Grammar in Hindi/English, basic formulas in math, and reasoning series are high-yielding areas where you can score close to maximum marks.
