So these topics can cover the miscellaneous as well as DI part in your exam.
Number series and quadratic equation: These topics are easy and will require less of your time. If you are good at calculating it would be easy for you to solve the quadratic equation without taking too much time. Try to attempt these after solving DI.
Miscellaneous questions: Solve this part at the end. But if you are very good at it, solve it in the staring. But do not spend too much time solving a single question. If you think you can solve a question within seconds, go for it otherwise skip it for later.
Learning formulas: Learn all the rules and formula well but also make sure you know how to compute them. If you have practiced well and is very good at solving the question with the short tricks then good. But do not try to solve the questions with tricks if you are not sure, or if it is taking too long to solve.
