STRATEGY TO CRACK THE REASONING ABILITY SECTION IN IBPS PO PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION 2017

• The observations and the strategical point which we are going to say is taken from the free mock tests which are provided for the aspirants as part of our website’s IBPS PO study planner 2017.
• Most of the aspirants choose to attend inequalities as their first choice of question from the reasoning section. Also many were able to score more than 3 questions which are definitely at the moderate level.
• The next preferred choice is the syllogism, no new pattern questions were asked in that and everyone was able to solve all the questions within 5 minutes as the questions were in the easy-moderate range.
• The other choice of preference is, in some exams, we have given coding and decoding ( but remember it wasn’t asked in the IBPS PO Prelims 2016). This was also not in the new pattern but in the old pattern. This was also in the easier range and solving these questions were never a problem for the candidates.
• The next section which is widely preferred is the miscellaneous questions and in that the topics ranged from blood relations, number ranking, alphanumeric series, alphabet series and 2 questions were in the difficult level and to the surprise the level of aspirants who have attended all the questions were still in the same high as that of a moderate question. So the preferred ones are always easier for the aspirants however tough it may be in terms of difficulty.
• The last choice of preference is given to puzzles and seating and mostly the easier question in the puzzle and the seating arrangement were solved and some aspirants tried to solve the tougher ones too.
• Usually, this is the preferred order of choice for the candidates and it is wise to choose puzzles at the last moment as this will give ample time for the aspirants to solve other problems in this topic.
• Choosing seating arrangement and puzzle will take away your valuable time and it is not about solving the questions in the exam and it is about getting answers to the questions asked. So leaving away the complex ones and time-consuming ones are to be preferred.
• If you have chosen or have the above-said order as your preferred choice of strategy to crack the reasoning section, then you can get perfect accuracy and you can solve at least 20 questions and more than that in 20 minutes.
• If you choose puzzles and seating arrangement first, then we are sure that questions will take all your time for the other questions too.

Clearly, this is not the time for individual preparation and we don’t advise the same, this is the time for mock tests and you should be doing as many mock tests as you could and check the level of questions you could attend the examination. If you still wish to learn some of the topics in the quantitative aptitude section, we have already posted that in our learn where you can learn the basics of all the topics in the quants section and also in the reasoning section.
