LIC AAO 2023 Prelims- ‘Brahmaastra’ Strategy

Have you braced up for LIC AAO 2023 Prelims which is slated to take place on Feb 17, 2023? You better be as there are only 2 days left for the exam (some aspirants have their exam on other forthcoming dates as well). Now is the time when all your efforts will be put to test which includes all the concepts you have learnt till now and all the shortcuts/tricks you have put into practice. It’s high time that you take Mock Tests in these remaining days so that you can evaluate your performance in a controlled environment and can take corrective measures. Now is the time to understand and improve your performance.

To help you get maximum marks in the given time, we have come up with a ‘Brahmaastra’ strategy. Try implementing this when taking Mock Tests so that you know how well it’s working for you. The logic of this success strategy is simple. In any section of an exam, generally, there are questions with three different kinds of difficulty levels: easy, moderate & difficult. It makes sense to solve easy & moderate questions first and secure their marks before moving on to difficult questions. This way you will maximize your chances of getting good marks. But don’t take our word for it. Try it out yourself by taking a Free Mock Test of LIC AAO 2023 Prelims.

LIC AAO Prelims- Success Strategy

Reasoning Ability

Round 1: Start with non-puzzle based questions like coding-decoding, syllogisms, questions related to direction sense, blood relations etc.

Round 2: Move towards the critical reasoning questions and solve simple puzzles (may relate to blood relations, circular/linear seating arrangement, floor-based puzzle) and questions related to input-output.

Round 3: Solve difficult puzzles/seating arrangement (double line puzzles).

Quantitative Aptitude

Round 1: Start with number series, equations comparison, and easy data interpretation sets.

Tip: If you get stuck with one number series question and unable to solve it within 30-40 seconds, skip it.

Round 2: Solve word problems and easy data interpretation sets.

Round 3: Move on to difficult data interpretation sets.

English Language with special emphasis on grammar, vocabulary  and comprehension

Round 1: Prioritize Non-RC based questions like vocab-based questions and cloze passages. You can also attempt vocab-based RC questions.

Note: In vocab-based questions, try getting the sense of the word by reading the preceding/succeeding line.

Round 2: Attempt grammar-based questions like Error detection, Sentence correction, Phrase correction etc. in this round

Round 3: Go for non-vocab RC-based questions, para jumbles and para connectors.

We hope that this strategy will be helpful to you. Implement this strategy when taking mocks and see if you are able to score better. Take a Free Mock Test of LIC AAO Prelims now.
