HOW TO PREPARE FOR TEST OF REASONING FOR BANK EXAMS

 

Test of Reasoning Abilities is usually considered as the most difficult and unpredictable tests by majority of the candidates appearing for either Probationary Officers test or even for Clerk Tests.  Earlier, this part of the test carried higher share, but in the CWE to be conducted by IBPS, Test of Reasoning will have an equal share of marks as other four papers.   However, it may carry higher share in case of tests conducted by private sector banks and banks not covered by CWE.

 

Most of the candidates find it difficult to judge as to how many questions they have attempted correctly in this Test specially the  questions which are based on statements, judgmental type of questions, questions based on inferences, assumption based questions etc. These questions always confuse the candidates who appear for the first time. 

The questions asked in this paper can be broadly classified as "Verbal" and "Non Verbal" categories :-
