Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: This round had a total of 22 questions, in which 20 questions were from aptitude and reasoning. The level of aptitude questions were good. The questions were a mixture of easy, moderate and difficult levels. Remaining 2 questions were coding questions, in which one question was easy and another one was a bit difficult. This round was mainly to check the basic understanding and thinking power.
Tips: Aptitude and reasoning could be prepared in a short time. But coding takes a lot time. So focus more on coding than aptitude and reasoning. Aptitude and reasoning questions just take a combination of little common sense and computation power. While coding takes a lot of things, eg - Data structures, algorithms, programming languages, mathematics, common sense, computation power.
