Quantitative aptitude tests are a crucial part of placement exams, competitive tests (like CAT, GMAT, GRE, Bank PO exams), and campus recruitment processes. Mastering these concepts requires understanding formulas and regular practice.

Most placement aptitude tests have 20-35 questions with a time limit of 30-60 minutes. Competitive exams like CAT have 34 questions in the Quantitative section with 40 minutes allotted.
Based on placement exam patterns: Percentages, Profit & Loss, Time & Work, and Speed & Distanceaccount for about 60% of questions. Number series, Ratio & Proportion, and Averages make up most of the rest.
For consistent improvement, practice at least 30 minutes daily for 4-6 weeks before your test. Focus on understanding concepts first, then speed. Take full-length mock tests in the final 2 weeks.
Most placement tests don't allow calculators. Practice mental math and approximation techniques. For exams that allow calculators (like GRE), learn to use them efficiently but don't over-rely on them.
Focus on understanding concepts rather than memorizing solutions. Practice similar questions in batches. Review mistakes thoroughly - maintain an error log. Accuracy comes before speed.
Quick scan all questions first. Attempt questions from your strong topics first. Set a time limit per question (usually 1-1.5 minutes). If stuck for more than 2 minutes, mark and move on. Leave 5 minutes for review.
Many competitive exams have 1/4 or 1/3 negative marking. For placement tests, it varies by company. Always check the exam rules. If negative marking exists, avoid random guessing.
Use a combination of: textbooks (RS Aggarwal, Arun Sharma), online practice tests, previous year papers, and apps. Practice on similar interfaces to the actual test. Time yourself during practice.
Aptitude skills are universally valued. Whether you're appearing for GRE, GMAT, or international company placements, quantitative skills are essential.

Placement aptitude tests typically cover: Quantitative Aptitude (arithmetic, algebra, geometry, time/work/speed problems), Logical Reasoning (puzzles, coding-decoding, blood relations, seating arrangements), Verbal Ability (reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary), and sometimes basic technical questions specific to your field.
For campus placements, start 2-3 months before placement season. Dedicate 1-2 hours daily for aptitude practice. Focus on weak areas identified through mock tests. Our platform offers unlimited practice tests with detailed solutions to help you improve systematically.
TCS uses TCS NQT (National Qualifier Test). Infosys uses InfyTQ. Wipro uses NLTH (National Level Talent Hunt). Cognizant uses GenC certification. Each has different patterns, but fundamentals remain similar. Our mock tests cover patterns for all major recruiters.
Aim for 70%+ in aptitude tests to clear most company cutoffs. Top product companies may require 85%+. Focus on accuracy over speed initially - many tests have negative marking. Practice time management to attempt maximum questions.
Yes, our aptitude tests are designed based on actual placement test patterns from companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, and others. Questions are updated regularly to match current exam patterns. Each test provides detailed solutions and performance analytics.
