Mixed Aptitude Test — Questions and Answers

A mixed test spanning quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning and verbal ability in random order — deliberately unstructured, because a real exam never groups its questions helpfully. The aim here is to practise triage: recognising within ten seconds whether a question is worth attempting now, later, or not at all.

Mixed Aptitude Test— Concepts, Formulas & Shortcuts

  • Triage every question in the first ten seconds: solve, defer or skip.
  • Two passes beat one: bank the certain marks before wrestling with the hard ones.
  • Never spend more than 90 seconds on a single question in the first pass.
  • Reasoning questions usually take longer than arithmetic ones — plan for that.
  • In verbal, trust the grammatical rule over what "sounds right".
  • Review every wrong answer; the pattern in your errors is worth more than the score.
