  • It is important to make your entry to the exam hall with a pre-decided strategy to attempt a definite number of questions correctly. In the reasoning section, you should attempt at least 30 to 35 out of the 40 questions
  • Some important topics like blood relation, directions, syllogisms, inequality, etc are worth more time in the sense that they can be solved perfectly with great accuracy. The aspirants are advised to make sure that they solve these questions in the paper to improve their scores.
  • The puzzle section is the most tricky/difficult section as it tends to take more time, once you get stuck. So, the aspirants should go for the puzzles only after solving all the possible arithmetic questions. In this way, they have to provide a small amount of time time to the puzzles without having to constantly worry about the clock ticking
  • Some candidates have practiced the puzzles very well during the practice sessions. Those students are advised to go for the puzzles in the first place itself to get a morale boost. If you can attempt the majority of puzzle questions with 100% accuracy then there is a higher chance that you’ll have an edge over the other candidates
  • The reasoning section has a higher probability to waste a lot of the aspirant’s time in the exam hall as if one starts to approach the problem wrongly then there is very little that can be done to avoid time waste. So, it is advised to opt for questions that seem easy. If you feel that a question can be approached and solved but requires more time, then mark it for review later; please don’t get stuck into it
