Important Notes to Remember for the RRB NTPC Exam

1. Do not try to guess the answer as there is negative marking.
2. Sometimes, you may not be able to solve a very easy question. It is okay, it happens to everyone. Remember, no one is going to judge you for not being able to solve an easy question.  However you should keep practicing by giving RRB NTPC mock tests before the exam to avoid such things.
3. It’s always best to correctly solve a few questions in the start to set your temperament and bring positivity right at the start of the exam  If you get stuck on any question, don’t waste your time there. Move on to the next question if you are not able to solve it.
4. Try to complete the paper so that you do not miss out on the easy questions towards the end.
5. If you must guess an answer, make sure you guess it only for the questions in which you have eliminated one or two options, increasing the chances of guessing it right.
