TCS TOUCHSTONE TEST

Touchstone test:

3 day preparation strategy 4 touchstone test :

Rule 1: Prepare yourself on the following topics; Just brush up your basics: ages, percentages, ratio and proportion, numbers, time and distance, sequence, time and work, probability, permutation and combination & blood relation. {Here probability and per/com is optional because it carries only 3-4 questions on it.}

Rule 2: Go through the previous papers in fresher world of this test. I have also giving you some relevant questions which appeared in our test.

Rule 3: Try to solve the questions by yourself; don't memorize them because data will be change

Rule 4: Try to just interchange the data of the questions and solve them faster and faster. The Time Management is a important skill often tested in aptitude test. So by practicing the questions given below try to develop speed and accuracy.

Rule 5: Speed reading is a important part of this test as all the questions do have some irrelevant data. So in these 3 days of preparation, try to find the relevant data from the question and read very fast.

Tricks for aptitude test:

1) You will be asked to answer 35 questions in 60 minutes. At the beginning, don’t even think to answer all questions.

2) Just go through all the 35 questions and solve the easy ones. Every paper consists of minimum 15-17 easy questions and rest of them moderately difficult.

3) Try to answer the easy ones 15-16 questions out of 35 within 45 mins and also write the individual number of moderately easy ones or mark them [that u think can do within 3-4 mins ] in the scratch paper

4) Last 12-15 mins of the exam, try to solve the marked ones, at least of 5 them.

5) The difference between you and others will lay answering marked ones, so try to solve the easy 15-16 as fast as you can. [Caution: you try to believe that u can acquire 100% accuracy in easy questions; so complete the easy questions of entire range question number 1 to 35 within 40-45 mins.]

5) So after the time is completed, you will find yourself answering 22-24 questions without any rigorous preparation. Those who r a bit slower in calculations can also clear this test by my plan. And cut off, as I already mentioned, lies below 20 around 18-19.

6) Last but not the least, don't try to mark the questions you are not absolutely sure; as the paper consists of negative marking, you will not be able to meet the cutoff.
