Please Note
● I suggest keeping a notebook for Aptitude, divide in 3
sections for each topic
● Note down the formulas for Quant and Logical
● While problem-solving, highlight questions you could not
solve and focus on those topics
● Spend more time in Quant then Logical then Verbal as
Verbal is easier
