⚪ Minimal – Just Review |
- 🔥 Control Statements and Functions are the most asked.
- 🔶 File Handling, Pointers, Structures, Operators, and Arrays are also heavily tested.
- 🧊 Storage Types and Pre-processor Commands appear less frequently but shouldn't be skipped.

📌 Tips & Tricks
- Don’t memorize code blindly — trace it with pen & paper.
- Write code snippets by hand to build intuition.
- Focus on flowchart/algorithm questions early — they’re easy marks.
- Repeatedly asked areas:
loops, file handling, functions, arrays.
- In the exam: Attempt full 5 questions. Don’t leave subparts blank.
- Use mnemonics: e.g., for file modes →
"r", "w", "a", "r+", etc. = Read Write Append Read+Write
