The quantitative component is the most scored subject, despite the fact that most candidates are terrified of it.

• Practice at least 10-15 number series regularly to have a proper hold over this topic.

Simplification/ Approximation:

• Questions are comparatively easy if you have practiced simplification & approximation topics well.
• Whenever an expression with multiple arithmetic operations is given, follow the BODMAS principle for calculating the final result.
