In the 2023 exam, most questions were based on <strong>puzzles, seating arrangements, and machine input-output<\/strong>, while in 2019, the focus was on <strong>logical reasoning<\/strong> and <strong>syllogism-based concepts<\/strong>. Let\u2019s look at the topic-wise distribution to understand the trend better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Topics<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>2023<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>2019<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Circular Seating Arrangement<\/td><td>5<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Floor-Based Puzzle<\/td><td>5<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Machine Input Output<\/td><td>5<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Day-Based Puzzle<\/td><td>5<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Syllogism<\/td><td>3<\/td><td>4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Data Sufficiency<\/td><td>3<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Miscellaneous<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Seating Arrangement and Puzzles (Mixed)<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><td>14<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Inequality<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><td>4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Logical Reasoning (Course of Action)<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><td>2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Logical Reasoning (Statement &amp; Assumption)<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><td>2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Logical Reasoning (Argument)<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Order &amp; Ranking<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Total<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>30<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>30<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trend Analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2023 paper heavily focused on <strong>high-level puzzles and seating arrangements<\/strong>, which covered more than 50% of the reasoning section. This clearly indicates that puzzles will continue to dominate the upcoming 2025 exam as well. Another major trend was the reappearance of <strong>Machine Input-Output<\/strong>, which has been absent in many banking exams lately but is crucial in LIC exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2019, however, the reasoning paper had a different flavor; it focused on <strong>critical reasoning<\/strong> like <strong>Course of Action<\/strong>, <strong>Assumption<\/strong>, and <strong>Argument-based<\/strong> questions. These are expected to make a comeback in 2025, so aspirants must keep them in their revision plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding the Reasoning Scoring Pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Reasoning Ability section contains <strong>30 questions for 90 marks<\/strong>, making each question worth <strong>3 marks<\/strong>. To qualify, candidates from the general category need to score at least <strong>45 marks<\/strong>, while reserved category candidates need <strong>40 marks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means you need to get around <strong>15 questions correct<\/strong> to clear the sectional cut-off. However, to secure a strong overall score and ensure selection, you should target <strong>22\u201325 correct questions<\/strong> with high accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since there is no negative marking, you can attempt all questions with careful elimination, but your main goal should be accuracy, especially in puzzle-based questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1-Month Preparation Strategy for Reasoning Section<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With about a month left for the exam, your preparation should now focus on <strong>speed, accuracy, and smart question selection<\/strong>. Here\u2019s a week-by-week plan to guide you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Week 1: Strengthen the Foundation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by revising all your basics. Focus on <strong>puzzle and seating arrangement fundamentals<\/strong>, such as circular, linear, and day-based puzzles. Practice at least <strong>two puzzles daily<\/strong>. Revise <strong>Syllogism and Inequality<\/strong>. Watch short video lessons if you need conceptual clarity. By the end of this week, aim to complete 4\u20135 major topics and attempt <strong>two sectional mocks<\/strong> for reasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Week 2: Build Advanced Accuracy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Move towards advanced topics like <strong>Machine Input-Output<\/strong>, <strong>Data Sufficiency<\/strong>, and <strong>Critical Reasoning<\/strong>. Start with easier examples, then attempt main-level questions from mock tests or PDFs. Practice one full-length reasoning section every alternate day. Analyze which question types take longer and where you make logical errors. Your goal this week should be to maintain consistency and improve speed without compromising accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Week 3: Practice and Revision Phase<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to revise all the topics you\u2019ve covered. Focus on <strong>mock test performance<\/strong>. Attempt 2\u20133 full-length LIC AAO Mains mocks this week. Create short notes to record where you go wrong. By now, you should be able to solve 22\u201325 questions accurately within 40 minutes. Also, solve a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/lic-aao-previous-year-papers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">previous year&#8217;s paper<\/a> to get the real exam feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Week 4: Final Polishing and Time Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This final week should be all about fine-tuning. Revise all reasoning formulas, techniques, and puzzle approaches. Attempt <strong>at least 7 full mocks<\/strong> before the exam . Spend the remaining days revising weak topics and reading your notes. Focus on your strong areas in the last 3\u20134 days instead of learning anything new. Also, build the habit of skipping time-consuming puzzles. Time management is the biggest weapon in the mains exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Tips for Reasoning Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To crack the reasoning section, your approach must be smart rather than lengthy. Focus on <strong>accuracy first<\/strong>, and speed will follow automatically. If one puzzle seems confusing, don\u2019t waste time; move to the next. Always keep a <strong>mock test diary<\/strong> to track improvement areas. Spend at least 20 minutes daily solving <strong>critical reasoning<\/strong> to strengthen your logical approach. Remember, reasoning is all about patterns and logic. The more you practice, the more confident you\u2019ll be on exam day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>Join our exclusive Telegram group where our experts are ready to answer all your queries, guide you in banking exam preparation, and give personalised tips to boost your success.
