Logical Reasoning practice: Logical Reasoning practice to strengthen your base and boost your score
Logical Reasoning practice is the most crucial stage of exam preparation. Just going through formulae, solved examples and theory filled with concepts will not ensure you a great score. As despite knowing the concept, you may fumble in the implementation. Therefore, it is very essential to apply what you have studied. Logical Reasoning practice should largely involve question attempt on your behalf and going through solutions of only those problems which you were not able to solve or have doubts regarding better alternative solution. Doing plenty of Logical Reasoning practice can help boost your performance.
