Prepare well for Logical Reasoning type of Questions. This includes Letter coding, Number patterns, Assumptions, Logical Deductions, and Relationships among various entities.
Keep a track of time and do not spend too much time on a question you are unsure about.
If you have a doubt in a particular question, visit the question once you have completed the remaining questions.
