For the linguistics portion, the depth you go depends on the exam's design. Since most competitive entrance tests (like CUET, BBA/BCom entrances, or even nursing/B.Ed related papers) treat linguistics as a language proficiency + applied grammar section, here's a structured way to decide:
How Deep to Prepare
Pattern-Based Prep (PYQs):
- Most exams ask memory-based, factual, and applied questions (synonyms, antonyms, sentence correction, comprehension, figures of speech).
- Practicing previous year papers (PYQs) helps you spot recurring question types and difficulty levels.
- This is usually sufficient for exams where linguistics is a support
