Why practising in Hindi changes your accuracy
The language you practise in is the language you will think in during the exam hall.
Translation is a hidden tax
If you practise in English but attempt the paper in Hindi (or the reverse), every question pays a translation tax: a few seconds to convert, plus a comprehension risk on technical terms. Over a hundred questions, the tax costs several marks — marks that have nothing to do with knowledge.
The fix is obvious but rarely done: practise in the exact language of your attempt, including the rough work in your head.
Terms are the real trap
General vocabulary transfers easily; technical terms do not. Words like jurisdiction, depreciation, or photosynthesis have precise Hindi equivalents that questions hinge on. Build a personal glossary of the 200 terms in your subjects — one line each, both languages.
Attempt bilingual quizzes deliberately: same topic, alternate languages across days. The questions you miss only in one language are vocabulary gaps, not concept gaps, and the glossary closes them fast.
What to do this week
Switch your practice language to your exam language for every session this week. Note every term you stumble translating — that list is your glossary seed.
