Analytical Ability section of TSICET exam has questions from topics in Data Sufficiency and Problem-Solving sub sections. The important topics of Analytical Ability in the TSICET exam include Reasoning, Coding and Decoding Problems, Sequences and Series, Data Interpretation, Data Sufficiency, Problem Solving, Venn Diagrams, Complete the Blank Spaces, Pie Chart, and Data, Time and Arrangement Problems. Both parts of Analytical Ability section do not have equal weightage. Topics under Data Sufficiency frame 20 questions, while topics under Problem Solving frames 55 questions.

Mathematical Ability section of TSICET exam is divided into three sub sections, namely Arithmetical Ability, Algebraical and Geometrical Ability and Statistical Ability. These sections have a question weightage of 35:30:10. Some of the important topics included in all these sub sections are Statements and Truth Tables, Areas and Volumes, Powers and Exponents, Relations and Functions Surds, LCM and GDC, Modular Arithmetic and Partnership. Candidates preparing for all these sections based on the Class 12 level books will be able to fetch a good score in TSICET exam's Mathematical Ability section.

Some of the books that help candidates prepare for TG ICET Communication Ability section are mentioned below:

1. Objective General English by S.P. Bakshi (Arihant)

2. Word Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis

3. High School English Grammar and Composition by Wren and Martin
