32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Reverse alphabet position
- The position of a letter counted from Z. Formula: reverse position = 27 minus forward position. Example: C is 3rd forward and 24th from the end.
- Syllogism validity rule
- A conclusion is valid only if it is true in every possible Venn diagram consistent with the premises. 'All A are B' does not establish 'All B are A'.
- Blood relation notation
- Draw a tree marking gender and generation before reading options. Vertical lines show parent-child links; horizontal lines show marriage or sibling links.
- Coding by letter shift
- Compare the coded word with the original letter by letter. If each letter moves by the same number of places, apply the same shift to the target word.
- Successive percentage change
- Net change for a% then b% equals a + b + ab/100, using signs for increase or decrease. A 10% rise then 10% fall gives a net 1% fall.
- Compound interest two years
- CI minus SI for two years equals P times (R/100) squared. This shortcut avoids computing the full compound amount in objective questions.
- Train crossing a platform
- Total distance covered equals train length plus platform length. Time equals this distance divided by speed, with speed converted to metres per second.
- Rule of alligation
- Ratio of mixed quantities equals the difference between the mean and the cheaper value, compared with the difference between the dearer value and the mean.
- Combination formula
- nCr equals n factorial divided by r factorial times (n minus r) factorial. It counts selections where order does not matter, unlike permutations.
- Subject-verb agreement trap
- In 'one of the plus plural noun plus verb', the verb agrees with 'one' and stays singular. Each, every, either and neither also take singular verbs.
- Present perfect with since
- Use present perfect or present perfect continuous with since for a starting point and for a duration. Since 2019 and for five years are typical markers.
- Passive voice formation
- The object becomes the subject, the verb becomes a form of be plus past participle, and the doer follows 'by'. Tense of the original verb is preserved.
- Cloze test strategy
- Predict a suitable word from the surrounding sentence before reading the options. Then check grammar and collocation, since only one option fits both.

- The Employees' State Insurance Corporation is a statutory body functioning under the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India, with headquarters at New Delhi.
- Repo rate meaning
- The rate at which the Reserve Bank of India lends short-term funds to commercial banks against government securities. Raising it typically tightens liquidity.

- Absolute and relative reference
- In a spreadsheet, dollar signs lock a row or column. A1 is relative, $A$1 is absolute and A$1 locks only the row when a formula is copied.
- Excel #VALUE! error
- This error appears when a formula uses a value of the wrong data type, such as text where a number is required, or when spaces precede a number.
- Storage unit conversion
- Eight bits make one byte, 1024 bytes make one kilobyte, 1024 kilobytes make one megabyte and 1024 megabytes make one gigabyte in binary measurement.
