SET 2026: Preparation Tips to Ace Logical Reasoning Section

Check out some of the SET preparation tips to crack the Logical Reasoning section below:

  • The Logical Reasoning section often contains data interpretation but it has no theories, formulae, etc. It’s a skill that needs to be acquired and not some kind of knowledge to be remembered. Hence, practicing as much as possible will polish the skills and help one score better in the exam. Look for an explanation as to why a particular option is correct and the rest are incorrect. This is what reasoning is all about. If you reach the bottom of it, you can solve any LR question easily.
  • Before starting to prepare for the Logical Reasoning section, candidates must understand the type of questions that will be asked in this section. For this, they must refer to the SET previous years' question papers. Practicing more will help you discover tricks and shortcuts that can be used to solve the questions easily and quickly.
  • It is also important to get hold of the right set of books for the logical reasoning section. There are several books available in the market both online and offline, which give a detailed and descriptive idea about the topics, strategy to solve the questions, and practice materials. Getting the right books will help the students in preparing better and effectively.

  • While practicing SET mock tests and sample papers, try to solve each question twice or thrice. Again practicing more will help you in solving the question not only quickly but also accurately.
  • Try and draw rough diagrams or grids or tables to understand the question with the data given in the question. Experts suggest that visual aids help in solving a particular question in a better way.
  • Develop a skill of thinking critically and logically. The questions in this section are based on, as the name goes, logical reasoning. Break down the questions into a logical flow and a series of events. Simplify them and then analyse each event and look at them critically and eventually solve them.
  • On D-day, try to read each question twice at a normal speed to find out important and/or hidden data.
