Recurring families
You will meet number and letter series, coding-decoding, blood relations, direction sense, ranking and arrangement questions, and syllogisms. They vary little from year to year, which makes this a high-return section for steady practice.
Practice plan
- Spend a week on each family, then mix them in timed sets
- Keep a short rulebook of patterns (for example common series types)
- Time every set to build a per-question average
In the mock test
Reasoning is where many candidates can finish early, so use it to bank minutes for sections that take longer. If your accuracy drops when you go fast, slow down slightly: a wrong answer costs more than a skipped one. The same logic is explained in our time management guide.
