Commonly asked questions
The Logical reasoning section carries the maximum weightage; i.e. 50 per cent in the AILET exam. Reasoning is actually a combination of both verbal logic, as well as analytical reasoning. So, one part is full of numbers and data, while the other is made of words and puzzles. Reasoning needs ample practice. Books by MK Pandey and RS Aggarwal will suffice. For Data Interpretation (DI) questions, the trick lies in forming the table. Once this is done, the rest of the questions flow automatically. Hence, the students are advised to prepare this subject carefully and give special attention.
You should take regular mock tests and soleve previous years question papers. One mock test each day will help you in revising your concepts apart from building your confidence.
The following books are highly recommended by the experts:
1. Pratiyogita Darpan.
2. GK Today.
3. Manorama Year Book.
4. Pearsons Concise GK.
5. Analytical and Logical Reasoning by RS Aggarwal.
6. Competition Success Review.
7. Wren and Martin.
