Tips to solve numerical aptitude questions
Will you please give me some good Tips to solve numerical aptitude questions to crack the examination???? Quantitative Aptitude Tests measures the numerical ability and problem solving skills of candidates. Many companies use it in their selection procedure. Here are some good Tips to solve numerical aptitude questions Start from the basics Concentrate on fundamentals Practice Take a systematic approach Memorise important formulas, theorems and tables Mark strong and weak sections Part marking Know different types of questions Read the questions carefully Glance before solving Time is essential Negative marking 1.
