IBPS PO V Prelims : How to Tackle Quantitative Aptitude

A week left for one of the most important competitive exam of the year.

What is your strategy for IBPS PO V Prelims ?

How many Quantitative Aptitude questions within 20 minutes ?

These are few important questions that you need to answer yourself. 

Strategy

First step you need to take now is - Make a list of questions which you are going to attempt. This is the most important time saving technique you can use now. You have just 20 minutes for this section, you can't use these 20 minutes in finding which questions to attempt. 

Easy chapters that you attempt

Here I find Series and Simplification easy marks that you can fetch. These questions take less than 1 minute to solve.

Comparatively time consuming questions

1. Probability (1-2 questions)
2. Quadratic equations (0-5 questions)
3. DI set with complicated calculations (5-10 questions)

Data interpretation

One of the most common questions that readers ask in the comments section is - How to attempt a double diagram Data interpretation set within 5 minutes. That's a good questions. It's really difficulty to solve such questions within fraction of seconds. I recommend you to skip 1 DI set to save time. 

Tips

• Target 100% accuracy, you can avoid negative marking and this will help you allot more time per question.
• Attempt Quantitative Aptitude at first
• If a question is taking more than 2 minutes, skip it.
• Learn tables upto 40 and squares upto 50, this will be most important tool during the exam.
• Learn multiplication and division techniques.
