Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: We were asked to reach the venue for testing at 6 in the evening. As per usual the regular pattern, we were given our codes for the portal for the online test. The first section was the Quantitative Aptitude and the second section was the English Grammar. Each section was of 30 minutes each. Although there was no time limit that was being showed on the portal for completing the test, we were to keep in mind that we only had 30 minutes and had to pace ourselves accordingly.
Tips: For Quantitative Aptitude - The questions were easy, but in these kind of tests, speed is what matters, and therefore practice is the key. Practice, practice and practice.
English - This section was rather tricky and required focused attention as most of the options to the questions seemed very similar. So, focus.


No one really knows which company might give what weight-age to the section and that ultimately decides the shortlist onto the next rounds. So try to sharpen your skills in both Aptitude and English.
