Key reflection areas for candidates during the final preparation stages should include self-assessment of strengths and weaknesses, particularly in subject comprehension. Reviewing completed syllabus topics can ensure all areas are addressed, while focusing on mock tests can highlight gaps in preparation. Time management strategies during practice exams are also crucial for improvement. Aspirants should reflect on their approach to current affairs and ethical dilemmas, ensuring alignment with exam expectations. Finally, engaging in peer discussions or feedback sessions can provide new insights, refining perspectives and boosting confidence before the examination day.
