Reasoning questions for Bank Exams are a main part of the Exam and can be very scoring if tackled properly. Here we discuss some facts to be kept in mind while attempting reasoning ability part in the Bank Exams.

Order of solving questions is very important and most people find questions from 15-21 to be tough, so try doing 1-15 first which are relatively easy and should be done at a rate of 20-25 seconds per question that will save you more time for the Tough ones. Then, go directly to the last question and solve backwards to make it up to the most difficult ones. Practice this strategy a few times and it works well.

Understand properly before solving. Logical Reasoning differs from Comprehension passages in that you must understand every word of the question in logical reasoning while passages often discuss unfamiliar theories and terms that you don't actually need to understand. Students' mistakes are resulted from carelessness and skimming in reasoning questions. So understand properly before solving any reasoning question.

Although you need to read every word still every word is not important. The only important words are those that derive either the evidence or conclusion of a particular argument. For example, read it- “Tacos often comprise of a variety of things such as chicken, beans and cheese. No two tacos have one ingredient to another in the same proportion. Thus, any two tacos can be distinguished easily from each other by their taste.”

Here, the first sentence is neither the evidence nor the conclusion - it’s just background information needed to understand the meaning of the argument. We now know this sentence is unnecessary, so we can cross it out. This is a matter of practice.

While practice questions, distinguish between answers you're sure about and those where you're guessing, even if the guess is confident. If you're not fully sure for an answer, put down a "/" next to it. A question where you've chosen the answer to be in either "A" or "D" (and you've eliminated others) would be written as "D/A" and your answer for a question where you're more confident about "A" than "D" would be "A/D" or vice-versa.

This helps you measure your performance more accurately and will provide guidance for review. Tracking the question-types you consistently miss is necessary to effective studying.

Remember that practice with a right direction is the key to success in any exam. So keep practicing!!

All the best for your Success!!!
