06 · SELF-PRACTICE TIPS

Tips for Solving Board PYQs

01

Always draw a clear, labeled triangle diagram before starting any geometry proof.

02

For BPT problems, write AD/DB = AE/EC and substitute given values accurately.

03

When proving similarity, state the criterion used (AA, SSS, or SAS) explicitly.
