Hi members,

I am appearing in a test, a day after, which is a crucial test of my career, which there are four tests -

English (25 marks)
General Awareness (25 marks)
Maths (50 marks)
Mental Ability (50 marks)

In English test, there are 5 portions -
1. Prepositons
2. Antonyms, synonyms etc. (Vocabulary test)
3. Corrections
4. Misspellings
5. Idioms

Each mark in this test is crucial as out of 1500, only 100 are to be selected, as I cleared the preliminary test, in which out of 30,000 students/candidates, only 1500 were chosen, while my rank among them all was 95 something. Now, when all must be preparing high, I also do not want to leave any stone unturned. There were many blunders, which I committed, but now I want to overcome everything and my target is to reach the top. Prepositions are generally common, known to everyone, but there are certain of these, which are misleading, confusing or difficult to judge correctly. Can someone write me many of these which I can easily guess correctly. It is MCQ test - multiple choice questions test, in which 4 options are given and one is correct. Also give me clues about other English topics.

If for Maths and MA too, any one has clues, tell me. I shall feel obliged. I eagarly wait for someone to help as the time is running out fast!

I eagarly look for someone to help me out. I had tried much, but neither could I get any good book out here, nor any online help. I hope there are many who might have great knowledge about it. Help me somehow, provide link, and it will not only help me, but also to many who face ditto problem, throughout the world.
