Re: Tips to Prepare Mathematical Section of Aptitude Test

Hello Anjesh its good to see that you are focussed on your career. And see this is the

common problem that every student face in his life, when he just enter into the

compettion field from his college . so don’t worry just be stay focused .it will take time

but yeah I am sure that you will certainly achive a good score in this section too.

Here I am giving you few tips that you must keep in mind. It will help you certainly in solving

aptitude problems.

• Start from’ A’ i.e basic: See There is no particular syllabus that you can strictly follow,

in general. But if a particular test or exam gives you details of the topics included, then

plz stick to that. And also you should start these topics from the very basic. So don’t try

to climb stairs at once. Go step by step.

• Concentrate on CONCEPT and fundamentals: The basic concepts of the topics involved

should be absolutely clear.

• Take a systematic and symmetric approach: First try to solve the questions topic wise

and later attempt an entire paper. It will give you an idea of about how to put a certain

formula in a certain set of condition.

• Practice a lot: The key mantra to success is extensive practice and speed. So Practice a

lot to acquire speed. Look in the silly mistakes committed earlier and try to improve

them. Solve previous year's papers and also model papers of these exams. This will help

acquaint with pattern and structure of questions set.

• Memorise important formulas, theorems and tables:

• Part marking: Many exams on Quantitative Aptitude have part marking scheme. So even

if you know that the final answer is wrong, do not cancel the whole problem as you can

get part marking for the correct portion.

• .Mark strong and weak sections:

• Read the questions carefully: Always try to know the hidden meaning of question .There

may be time when you will find certain questions that are very easy to solve. But this is

not so. These are tempting type of question which will push you to gor a wrong answer.

So always Read the questions carefully so that you understand it properly before

answering. A slight misinterpretation of the question will give you a negative mark.

• Quick Glance before solving : Give a quick glance to the exam paper first. First take up

the questions which you find comfortable and easy for you to solve as this will give you

the much needed confidence boost to you and positive energy and then move on with

the rest of the paper.

• Know different types of questions: have knowledge of all types of question that can be

asked in exam. Never practice a particular set of question for long. Try to cover all

types of question first, then go for practicing.

• Negative marking: When negative marking is there never attempt too many questions on

guesswork. Always apply the process of elimination (POE) . Try to eliminate as many

option as you could And Try To Reach A 50: 50 State.Then Go For Guessing

• Time is essential: Never waste time if you get stuck in solving a particular question.

Move on to the other questions and later if time permits try the ones you have left earlier.
