I need to know one thing
In the Key points before summary are we supposed to write actual words from the passage or we can use our own words?

Own words are allowed but worthless.
It clearly mentions that you can copy from passage so using own words won't gain you any marks.
Without pressurizing your mind, copy them.
This will avoid mistakes !

As far as the tips for rest of the paper are concerned, this might help you guys !
Passage 1:
Reading the whole passage too much carefully is a pure waste of time.
You need to copy text from passage in the first part. (No Own words)
However for the summary, read CAREFULLY the paragraphs from which the summary is required and READ THE SUMMARY QUESTION CAREFULLY.
Most candidates fail to read the question and end up writing something irrelevant from the required paragraphs.
Remember, own words can only help in gaining marks.
The last two parts (Facts/opinions, True/false) is based on pure understanding of the passage.
For passage two, You should read paragraphs one after another. (As long as what I do everytime and get highest marks in English exam)
Read one para, answer the questions from that.
Skip those questions you are not sure about and attempt them at the end.
For the word meanings, you should not necessarily know the dictionary meanings for all. You can easily recognize the meaning by reading 2 3 lines in which that word is lying.
Finally, release all tension and expectations about the exam and sleep well. English can only be attempted perfectly with an open mind.
Good Luck !

the marking scheme says that there shouldnt be entire verbatim lift. so maybe we should have to remove the unnecessary part

Verbatim lift actually means using too much content (word to word) from the passage !
Removing the unnecessary parts are essential in a comprehension as well though !
So avoid adding unnecessary things and don't copy content from passage until you are asked specifically to do so. (Use words from passage, No need to use own words etc.)
