Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: We had a Written 2-section Quantitative/Analytical skills test with 16+8 questions each. The first section was sort of easy to go through while the second would relatively rack your brains
Tips: Prepare well for the Analytics/Quantitative questions, improve your speed in laying out the basics of the questions and solving the statements. Being able to think from different angles helps a lot. This would be one of the important skills required for the tests
Duration: 1 hour 25 minutes
Total Questions: 24

Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: Incompletely solved questions from the previous test were taken up and put forward as part of the questions for this round.
Also, the Interviewer put forth other puzzles which were about the same level, tested the thinking capabilities, approach and the solutions provided for each question.
Tips: The same level of preparation may work out in this case as well, but a bit higher concentration is required, and i would recommend saying out your approach as you go about solving the puzzles, as you'd be under supervision.
