Preparation Tips for TANCET MBA 2024 Analytical Reasoning

There are no fixed rules on how to crack or score well in the analytical reasoning section. Candidates must put in their best efforts to think critically before responding to each question. Unlike other sections, there are no theorems, concepts, or formulae for analytical reasoning. However, some effective and helpful tips will add value to the preparation method. Check out these tips and tricks below:

Aim for Accuracy

Candidates must try to get accurate answers by analyzing the facts in the question. Although it can be widely confusing, candidates must focus on the keywords and figure out the answer accordingly. Questions related to seating arrangements in linear or circular order, rankings, or set-based questions can be tricky. So, read the question thoroughly and try to decipher the question. Only then, candidates will be able to answer accurately. Further, for one situation, there are multiple questions. If the candidate deciphers the question wrong, all the answers will be wrong. So, candidates must be extremely careful while attempting this section.

Pay Extra Attention to Details

Another important factor while attempting the Analytical Reasoning section is attention. Candidates must pay attention to each part of the question before answering. Even the slightest of detail can change the entire meaning of the sentence or phrase. Hence, candidates must focus on every adjective and term used in the question before responding.

Avoid Assumptions

One common mistake that candidates often commit is to assume facts. Candidates must not practice the habit of assuming anything that has not been mentioned. By assuming on your own, the question may change and the answer would change too. So, stick to the information available on the question paper only. Do not interpret any other meaning from the given information.

Practice Mock Tests

To improve the accuracy and speed of the Analytical Reasoning section, candidates must practice Sample Papers. Analytical Reasoning requires skills and understanding. But during the TANCET exam, candidates will have to attempt the entire question paper in the given time. Hence, speed and accuracy are very important. The only way to improve the accuracy is to appear for mock tests. They will help the candidates to open up to various kinds of questions and problems. So, it is best to finish the syllabus early and start with the mocks.

Calm and Confident

Calmness during the TANCET examination is a necessity. Many candidates tend to panic during the exam. Due to this, they commit silly mistakes. So, try to be calm and confident. With proper practice and motivation, candidates will be able to attempt all the questions of this section. Do not rush or be in a hurry,

Time Management

The most important part is time management. Candidates must distribute their time evenly among all the sections and also leave 15-20 minutes for revision. Sometimes, candidates spend most of their time with Analytical Reasoning questions and do not get the time for the other sections. So, time management is a key factor. Candidates must focus on answering all the easy or comfortable questions first and quickly. Then, they can make time for difficult or uncomfortable questions.
