Quantitative Aptitude

All that you need to do to score well in quantitative aptitude section is practice.

Choose the questions wisely and try not to get stuck on a particular question or topic for too long. Try focussing on attempting the maximum number of questions keeping in mind the accuracy with which you attempt the paper.

Reasoning

Reasoning can be a difficult section for most of the aspirants and it is important to solve the questions and at the same time, keep a watch on the time that is passing by. We've seen in the recent Banking Exams that this section was quite challenging and time taking for students. Continuous practice will help you deal with this section too as the solution hits the mind quickly. To ace the grade in reasoning, all you need to do is to practice and only practice. After all, practice makes a man perfect.

English Language

If you are good at vocab and reading then try to make your grip stronger on the reading comprehension and Cloze Test and then do the other miscellaneous topics like Error Detection, Para Jumbles, Phrase Replacement, Double Fillers, etc. But if you are good at grammar, do the miscellaneous topics first and Reading Comprehension in the end. The important topics for cloze test are subject verb agreement, preposition, and verbs. These topics may help you some other questions too that will be based on grammar. So make sure that you have these topics on your finger tips when you are to attempt the examination.
