More random problems
Try to solve problems from random topics so that it will help you to recollect concepts, because in exam questions will be distributed randomly.
Analyse the mocks; Manage time
Attempting more and more mocks is not much required. The important thing is to manage those 170 minutes efficiently to maximize the score. So, while attempting a mock our target must be to set a strategy to get the best out of those 170 minutes. And once our mock is done, its analysis is must to find where we went wrong.
No biased approach
If you are not that good in Data Interpretation as compared to Quantitative Ability and therefore, try to avoid all the questions of DI, what will you do in case in that particular paper DI sets are much easier than quants. You may score much higher a percentile, if you are open to attempt those questions. Similarly VA-LR section has the same equation and Logical Reasoning becomes the percentile booster.
