Preparation Tips to Ace the Reasoning Section in Competitive Exam

Build up Your Foundation:

The candidates should begin with building the foundation and basics for each chapter asked in the Reasoning section i.e. Puzzles, Seating Arrangement, Blood Relation, Distance, etc. Often it is seen that the high-level questions are based on basic concepts. Hence, with that in mind keep the basics clear and try to develop applications of these basic concepts.

Choose Your Resources Wisely:

Resources you choose play a very pivotal role in the overall preparation of the candidates. Although there are many books and resources, youtube channels, or courses floating in the market, not everything you see is worthy. Hence, always go for books and resources that help build the basics and help provide practice questions of different levels.

Maximize your Practice Level:

We at Smartkeeda have always stressed the importance of maximizing the Practice while preparing for the exam. Practise in general not only helps in improving the speed and accuracy of the candidates before the exam. At the same time with practice, the candidates develop their own approach and shortcut to solve any questions. 

Hence, the candidates can resort to online or offline study material to give an edge to their practice level. Some topics like Puzzles never have a single type and with constant practice, the candidates can master this section and score high marks.

Analyze your Performance:

While appearing for a Mock Test or Quiz at the Smartkeeda portal, the candidates get connected to a unique dashboard wherein they can analyze their performance. Performance analysis also helps the candidates in recognizing their weak and strong areas before the examination. This is helpful to strengthen the preparation level and manage time during the examination.

Work On your Approach in Exam:

This approach is the key to crack any competitive exam. In fact, it is the deciding factor that checks if the candidates score high marks in the exam. Hence, the candidate should always check their approach and see if it is helping them in the examination. For example in the preliminary exam of Reasoning, the candidates only get 20 minutes to solve 35 questions. If a candidate begins with a puzzle or seating arrangement he may end up losing a lot of time or even stuck in the same. 

Hence, the candidates should always begin with those questions like miscellaneous topics where the success rate is 99% and post which they can attempt the puzzle section with leftover time.
