Some questions from Previous Papers
Now let’s start of with the schedule :
DAY 1 : Start off with Puzzles to Puzzle you - Shakuntala Devi and finish as much as possible. Decide to only finish the book and call the day off. Note down the sums which you are not able to solve or need the answers to solve and keep this list safely. After you go through the whole book, go back to these questions and just check out the way they are solved. Sometimes they will not be explained. In this case you have no choice but to leave them. But some sums will have some funny explanations. Just remember the way or method.
DAY 2: Now take a break off from Shakuntala Devi and then start Verbal Reasoning - R.S Agarwal . In this you just have to do the Puzzle Test Chapter fully, and have a look at the Number, Ranking and Sequence Test chapter. It contains fully George Sammers type question on easier scale but you would be able to understand the basic logic of solving George Sammers type questions. Finish off the whole book during the second day. There is just one or two methods to solve these sort of questions and the explanation is very clear . Once you get the method, you can solve all the puzzles in this, but just in case do go through all the puzzles. There have been puzzles in previous papers from here. Once you get the method well, there will not be any revision necessary in this book. But you will have to concentrate on the method.
DAY 3: Now back to More Puzzles - Shakuntala and follow the same procedure you followed for the first book.
DAY 4 and DAY 5: Get your George Sammers book and start off solving the puzzles. The first half is kind of easy, but don’t be worried if you’re not able to solve much. Even one or two is enough. The Rest, you just have to use the scheme and the solutions and then understand the puzzle thoroughly. Many papers have similar sums with the names changed. Try to finish the first half in a day. And start off the second half. The second half is relatively tougher, and it will be very confusing. Just try to solve some. The second half, even the solutions will confuse you more. So just solve as many as you can. The rest you can make use of the solutions. If they are too complex, leave them aside. Note down all sums you could not solve or could solve only using the solutions and list them. When you are through the whole book, just revise all the sums, giving preference to the ones that you have listed. It is okay even if you sit with George Sammers for three days. But you must fully be able to understand all the question in the First part. The second part, at least maybe few sums are optional.
DAY 6 : Take your quantitative Aptitude book by R.S Agarwal and work out the following chapters fully. Note down tough sums and their solutions and come back to solve them and revise them. The chapters to be done are:
(1) Time and Distance (very important)
(2) Time and Work
(3) Pipes and Cisterns
(4) Trains
(5) Boats
DAY 7 : Revise Shakuntala Devi book-1 and revise it well. Not necessary to work out the problems. Just check if your method is correct. The sums you have listed, give them extra importance. By the end of this day, you must Shakuntala Devi book-1(Puzzles to puzzle you) on your fingertips.
DAY 8: Revise the book-2 of Shakuntala Devi, just how you revised the first book. End of this day you should have both Shakuntala devi books at your fingertips.
DAY 9: Revise George Sammers, such that you can easily solve the whole first part. The second part, leave ii , if it is tough. DAY 10: Check out Ravi Narula. INTERVIEW: Interview is Casual. If you have done excellently well in the test, your interview process is very simple and a walkthrough if you have good communication skills (Speak clearly, frankly).
