Logical Reasoning hacks: Logical Reasoning hacks that you should know to score higher

• Identify the topics that slow you down and keep them for the last
• Train yourself for speed
• Make a plan for each question type
• Re-organize the data after reading the question
The above hacks when kept in mind can go a long way in improving your test results and confidence.

Extra tips for Logical Reasoning hacks:
• Enforce a strict practice regime in your practice tests and sectional tests, wherever you are responsible to keep a track of time for yourself.
• Be extremely serious about assessing the questions that you were not able to solve in the first place or were not sure of what you were doing or doubtful of a possible better solution.
• Keep in mind all the Logical Reasoning hacks that you have gone through and start implementing them in the practice mocks to see what works for you and what doesn’t so that you take forward only the necessary hacks for the main exam.
