Here are some common blunders that many aspirants make during their 90-day prep\u2014and how to dodge them like a pro:<\/p><p><strong>Ignoring General Knowledge Until the Last Minute<\/strong><\/p><p>GK isn\u2019t something you can cram in one night. It needs daily attention. A lot of students keep it for \u201clater\u201d and end up overwhelmed by the sheer volume of facts, dates, and current affairs. Make GK a part of your daily schedule\u2014just 1 hour a day can make a huge difference.<\/p><p><strong>Skipping Previous Year Question Papers<\/strong><\/p><p>This one&#8217;s a deal-breaker. Previous year papers show you the actual level of the exam, the type of questions asked, and how topics are weighted.<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0Overloading Yourself with Too Many Study Materials<\/strong><\/p><p>Jumping from one book to another or switching between five YouTube channels every day will only confuse you. Stick to 1-2 reliable sources for each subject and revise them well. Depth is more important than breadth when time is limited.<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0Underestimating English or Maths<\/strong><\/p><p>Every section counts. Even one weak area can drag your score down. Give equal attention to all subjects based on your paper preference (IMA\/INA\/AFA vs OTA).<\/p><p><strong>Inconsistent Study Routine<\/strong><\/p><p>Studying 10 hours one day and then doing nothing for the next two days doesn\u2019t work. Your brain needs consistency to retain information. Even 5\u20136 focused hours every single day will beat occasional marathon study sessions.<\/p><p><strong>Neglecting Revision and Mock Tests<\/strong><\/p><p>Many aspirants keep studying new topics till the very end and forget to revise what they\u2019ve already learned. Don\u2019t do that. Revision is what helps you retain and apply knowledge under pressure. Mock tests also help you build exam temperament and improve time management.<\/p><p><strong>Quick Tip:<\/strong><\/p><p>Don&#8217;t chase perfection. Chase progress. It&#8217;s okay if you don\u2019t know <em>everything<\/em>\u2014just be sharp in what you do know. Avoiding these common pitfalls can save you from last-minute panic and push your preparation in the right direction.<\/p><p><strong>Bonus Motivation \u2013 Your Why Matters<\/strong><\/p><p>Why do you want join the defence forces?<\/p><p>Is it the uniform?
