  22. hello everone, I was in 14th dec evening shift ...want to share my exp with you guys ..may this will help for upcoming exams.

    1-I started with computer and done all 40 ques in 12 mins with 90% accuracy.(very very easy, you too can attempt 35+)

    2- then i moved to maths .this section was a heart breaker for me..although i m good in maths yet can only attempted 28 ques in 56 mins with 100% accuracy.( moderate , much time taking, you can attempt 25+ if good in math)

    **** after finishing with math i had only 52 mins left and 3 sections ..i was totally blanked at that time.****

    3- now i went with GA and there i attempted 39 ques in 10 mins with 80% accuracy.( easy ..pls refer bankers adda gk capsule, you can attempt 35+)

    4-42 min left for both reasoning and english now ...i went with reasoning. i could attempt only 31 ques in 25 mins due to lack of time but with 90% accuracy ( easy ..dont worry,you can attempt 34+)

    5- at last i done english 35 ques in remaining 17 mins ..i dont know my exact accuracy as there was short of time there..yet may be it will above 80..( easy ,you can attempt 35+)..

    this is final figure -

    Comp-attempt- 40 expected marks-35

    Math- attempt- 28 expected marks- 28

    GA- attempt- 39 expected marks- 31

    Reason- attempt- 31 expected marks- 27

    Eng- attempt- 35 expected marks- 28

    total attempt- 173 expected marks - 149

    best of luck and if you want to know more then pls ask me ...
