In such a scenario, there are almost two months left. And to ace this exam, two months are more than sufficient if you utilise this properly. Another important thing to note is that the cutoff usually goes very high. It has often been noticed that the cutoff goes to approximately 38-39, and in some cases, it is 40 out of 40. In such a situation, it has become necessary to aim for 40 out of 40 and cover the syllabus. Now the question comes, how to prepare to score maximum in the RRB Clerk reasoning section? In this blog, let&#8217;s decode the pathway to score 40\/40 in the RRB Clerk Reasoning Section.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/ibps-rrb-assistant-test-series\/?ref=14520\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Take <\/strong>a<strong> Free Mock Test &amp; Enhance Your Understanding of the Exam Topics<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>IBPS RRB Clerk Prelims Reasoning Exam Pattern 2025<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The IBPS RRB Clerk prelims reasoning section consists of 40 questions of 40 marks.

Almost two months are left. Use this strategy and make the most of this time period and opportunity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Start your preparation with miscellaneous topics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re someone who has just taken IBPS Clerk exam after preparing properly, a majority of your preparation is already done. Even if you haven&#8217;t prepared properly, there is still time. The point we are trying to make is that you can get started with miscellaneous topics such as pair formation, odd one out, alphanumeric series, blood relation, coding decoding, word formation and order &amp; ranking. This way, you will not get bored solving puzzles &amp; seating arragement again &amp; again. Please note that we are not suggesting to skip puzzles &amp; seating arrangement topic. You may practice it after a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Start solving seating arrangement puzzles first<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever you\u2019re starting to solve the puzzle questions, try to solve linear seating arrangement, then move to circular seating arrangement, and after this, you should solve parallel seating arrangement puzzles. Similarly, in flat and floor-based puzzles, solve the easy ones and then gradually increase the difficulty level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Practising<\/strong> <strong>questions can help in the<\/strong> <strong>right selection of questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you practice questions, you will get an idea of where you are lacking in terms of question selection. You need to understand that this exam demands speed and accuracy. Now, having a balance of speed and accuracy is like walking on a tightrope. As you practice more questions, you will gain proficiency in understanding questions of different difficulty levels which will make your job of selecting questions easier. If you get stuck on a single question for too long, then you might miss 3-4 easy ones where you can get the marks very easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mock test to analyse the performance and become exam-ready<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mock tests help the students to get accustomed to the real exam environment. It helps aspirants to get habituated to exam pressure and learn the art of handling it. You can take our mock tests as they are designed by exam experts who have been tracking this exam for almost a decade. It also provides you with an AIR to get an idea of your examination level based on which you should prepare accordingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Approach the Reasoning section while giving a Mock test<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use this step-by-step process to approach the reasoning section while taking the mock test, so that you\u2019ll get habituated with this method and use this on the exam day as well. In the first mock, you might end up solving only 40% of the questions in 25 minutes, but as you solve more mocks (coupled with your analysis of attempts and working on weak areas), you might achieve an 80% score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the first minute, select the miscellaneous one-liner questions, such as alphanumeric series, word formation, pair formation, odd one out and solve them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now move towards solving Blood Relation, Order and Ranking, Direction-distance questions.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once you\u2019re done with this, move towards puzzles and seating arrangements. While you were practising the questions, you got an idea of which patterns you\u2019re able to solve quickly and where you get stuck. So in the examination, make sure to use that knowledge and solve those puzzles first, which will take less time.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try to use slow systems and smaller text in practice so your pace doesn\u2019t depend on ideal conditions. Try to remain calm while you\u2019re choosing the questions, use keyboard\/mouse efficiently, and keep a short buffer for marking and final revisits before you tap on the submit button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This is an indicative strategy. You can try different strategies in different mock tests and select the one which suits you the best.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we have provided all the necessary details regarding the strategy or approach to score 40\/40 in the RRB clerk reasoning section under 25 minutes.
