Puzzles decide the section
A single seating-arrangement or floor puzzle can carry five questions. Solving the set correctly matters, but so does recognising a set that will take too long. Practising to estimate a puzzle's difficulty from a first read is a skill worth building.
Typical question families
- Seating arrangements and scheduling puzzles in linear, circular and floor formats
- Syllogisms and inequalities with statement-conclusion reading
- Blood relations, direction sense and ordering
- Input-output, coding-decoding and data sufficiency
Test habits that help
Time-box each puzzle: if you cannot place at least three entities in two minutes, move on and return later. Redraw your diagram cleanly after a wrong answer to see exactly which assumption slipped. Alternating one hard puzzle set with several quick formats keeps the section balanced. Pacing rules for an entire paper are in our guide to section-wise time management.
