How many TG EAPCET Sample Papers Should Candidates Solve?

There is no fixed number as to how many sample papers one must solve.

That being said, the more the merrier. In fact, a rule of thumb to decide how many sample papers you must solve is – “until you master all problem-solving skills and are able to solve all types of problems”.

Or, even if you are not able to solve all the problems, you must be able to solve most of the questions.

Also, it is important to stress that you must not keep solving the same type of questions over and over again, as it won’t add much value. Instead, the sample questions must include the whole gamut of TG EAPCET probable questions.
