A timed scorecard for three 20-question simplification sets plus one 30-question arithmetic set, with accuracy percentages

Week 4

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability

  • Master ratio-and-proportion and partnership problems by solving 25 questions and deriving the standard equation for each type

  • Complete 30 time-and-work and pipes-and-cistern questions, including efficiency-based shortcuts

  • Attempt one 35-question mixed numerical-ability mock in 35 minutes and analyse every error by topic

Your checkpoint

A topic-wise accuracy table across four arithmetic topics from at least 105 solved questions

Week 5

Reasoning

  • Establish a notation system for puzzles and seating arrangements, then solve 20 linear and circular arrangement puzzles under a 6-minute-per-puzzle cap

  • Solve 15 floor-based and box-based puzzles, and 15 scheduling puzzles covering day, month, and year sequences

Week 6

Reasoning & English Language / Hindi Language

  • Solve 20 blood-relation and 20 direction-sense questions, drawing diagrams for every one

  • Complete 15 input-output and 15 data-sufficiency questions, and write the decision rule you use for sufficiency

  • Read two English editorial passages and extract 10 vocabulary items each, using them in original sentences

Your checkpoint

Two timed reasoning sectional scorecards with a written diagnosis of the weakest two question types

Week 7

English Language / Hindi Language

  • Practise 40 reading-comprehension questions across four passages, capping each passage at 8 minutes including reading

  • Complete 50 error-detection and sentence-correction items, grouping errors by type (subject-verb agreement, tense, preposition, article)
