- Topic-Wise PYQs: Solve questions immediately after finishing a topic such as development plan, TPS or zoning.
- Mixed Planning MCQs: Mix questions from planning law, urban planning, infrastructure and municipal context to improve recall.
- Timed Mock Tests: Use full-length practice only after you have completed basic revision, otherwise the score will not tell you much.

How To Analyze An SMC Planning Assistant Question Paper
After solving a paper or mock test, do not simply check marks. Analyze every mistake in four categories:
- Concept Mistake: You did not understand the planning topic.
- Memory Mistake: You studied it but could not recall the term, sequence or definition.
- Application Mistake: You knew the concept but could not apply it to the question.
- Speed Mistake: You knew the answer but lost time or marked carelessly.
This mistake log becomes your final revision list before the exam.
