# Tip 3 Start the GATE paper by solving questions you think you are confident in and capable of solving in less time. If you can identify such questions, solve them immediately without a second thought! This approach will give you the right start and momentum required to conquer the tough battle. 

# Tip 4. Till now, you have read the question paper properly and even attempted a few questions. Now is the right time to assess the level of the exam, as the assessment will tell you how many questions you need to answer.
