In section I there is a passage with seven blank spaces and nine sentences as answer choices. This passage is about 'mind power'. You have to choose the correct sentence and put the correct choice in the appropriate blank in the main passage. You have to be thorough with the English to answer this Question. The rest of the section is simple Mathematics problems. It would be good if you take a quick glance to the +2 Maths, since they ask questions curves, equations and gradients.

Section II consists of simple arithmetic problems and some reasoning problems. You have write the answer on the answer sheet and no choices are given.

Section III is "Critical Reasoning", and the questions are of MCQ type.

They have SIX Question paper sets, named A, B, C, D, E and F. We have tried to draw a general pattern and have included many sample questions which are in the same pattern with the papers.
