Takeaways

  • 😀 Be authentic in your psychometric test answers; don’t try to artificially create ideal responses. Your natural answers will give a better score.
  • 😀 Manage your time well in the psychometric test; with 150 questions in 30 minutes, aim to spend only 10 seconds per question.
  • 😀 For the descriptive section, list your main points on the rough sheet before starting your answer. This helps in organizing your thoughts and saves time.
  • 😀 When answering the descriptive section, always take a stand and justify it clearly. Avoid being neutral or wishy-washy.
  • 😀 In the picture-based story section, focus on positive and constructive ideas. Negative or destructive ideas will not score well.
  • 😀 Details in the pictures matter. Observing elements like objects or people in the image can help you craft a more detailed and creative story.
  • 😀 For the aptitude test, prioritize sections with higher marks per minute. For example, start with General Knowledge (GK), then move to verbal ability, and finish with quantitative and data interpretation sections.
  • 😀 Avoid spending too much time on any one section. Set a timer and move on if you’re stuck. Aim to complete GK in 10 minutes, then proceed efficiently to the next sections.
  • 😀 Keep a positive and confident mindset throughout the exam. The competition is not as fierce as it seems, and staying calm will help you score better.
  • 😀 Be careful about negative marking; don’t over-guess answers. Only attempt questions where you can eliminate options with confidence to increase your chances of success.
