Aspirants can effectively handle negative feedback during preparation by adopting a growth mindset. Viewing criticism as an opportunity for improvement allows them to focus on their weaknesses constructively. It’s important to first assess the feedback and categorize it into actionable insights. Taking breaks to process emotions can help in maintaining composure. Engaging in discussions with mentors or peers about the feedback can lead to valuable perspectives. Ultimately, learning to distinguish between helpful and unhelpful criticism aids in refining strategies and encourages resilience in facing challenges.
