Aptitude 1

Part I English Synonyms etc 34 Questions
Part II Arithmetic 32 Questions
Total: 78 Questions

Part III Critical Reasoning 12 Questions.

Part I and Part III are Multiple Choice Questions and Part II is filling up the Blanks model.

There are 10 synonyms, 10 antonyms, both of MCQ type.

In section I there is a passage with seven blank spaces and
nine sentences as answer choices. This passage is about 'mind power'.
You have to choose the correct sentence and put the correct choice in
the appropriate blank in the main passage. You have to be thorough with
the English to answer this Question. The rest of the section is simple
Mathematics problems. It would be good if you take a quick glance to the
+2 Maths, since they ask questions curves, equations and gradients.

Section II consists of simple arithmetic problems and some
reasoning problems. You have write the answer on the answer sheet and
no choices are given.

Section III is "Critical Reasoning", and the questions are
of MCQ type.

They have SIX Question paper sets, named A, B, C, D, E and
F. We have tried to draw a general pattern and have included many
sample questions which are in the same pattern with the papers.

PSYCHOMETRY GROUPING
I have grouped the psychometric questions numbering 150. as it is not possible for me to write each question I am indicating only the numbers. Its up to u to correspond to the questions
At the outset I would like to clearly state that this version has no guarantee to be the correct version. Actually some 30/150 questions fall in to many groups and the line differentiating them is very thin. I have tried my best to group them.
Talking about the groups- they are 11 in number. As I have mentioned- this is not the only correct version- but this can be one. So if u feel u can group them more finer u can subdivide them in to many more.
I would advise u strictly to go through the whole set of groups and define urselves- the key to psychometric test is to define who u are and then start looking in to deeply the questions.
Each group represents a character or personality- u will decide which of the following attributes u would like to include in ur personality.
GROUP 1 LEADERSHIP QUALITIES
2 3 28 39 53 73 103 128
GROUP 2 SOCIABLE NATURE
9 13 14 24 29 44 49 54 59 64 70 74 79 88 89 109 114 119 139
GROUP 3 BALANCED PSYCHE people who are balanced- not wavery in their moods etc.. etcÃ¢â‚¬Â¦
10 15 16 35 40 41 45 52 55 60 65 75 80 95 105 130 145 148
GROUP 4 DAYDREAMERS
50 100 107 125
GROUP 5 PATIENCE AND ATTRIBUTE OF TAKING RID=GHT DECISIONS AFTER CAREFUL ANALYSIS
22 27 47 67 72 86 92 96 102 112 117 126 134 136 137 140 142 147

GROUP 6 EASYGOING AND CAREFREE NATURED PERSONALITIES
20 25 32 57 68 77 82 87 90 98 115 123 127 132 135 150
GROUP 7 ENTHUSIASTIC PERSONALITIES
17 42 66 78 85 99 110 141 144
GROUP 8 SLOW SLUGGISH DULL PERSONALITIES
11 21 30 31 36 46 51 56 61 76 81 91 106 116 101 146
GROUP 9 SERIOUS PERSONALITIES
12 26 37 62 97 111 120 124 143
GROUP 10 STRONG FULL OF ENERGY
121 122 131
GROUP 11 DIFFIDANT (shy, not able to ask even the most required thingÃ¢â‚¬Â¦.. etc..)
18 19 23 33 34 38 43(34) 48 58 63(34) 69 83 84(38) 93 104(34) 108 113 118(34) 129 133 149
read the following before proceeding
the last group is bigger and within the group itself a small subgrouping is done- the no. in the bracket is the parent question to which the no outside the bracket belongs to- hope u understand
strictly- this may not be 100 % right as many questions look very similar. So go thru and make alterations if u feel so.
in each groups there r 2 kinds of questions- if u say yes to some and no to others u will land up at the same definition. So its ur common sense to understand the affirmative and negative tones of each question and answer accordingly- u shld know when to answer no and yes for each question in the same group-
