So that you can gear up your preparation and perform better in the examination.\u00a0Generally RRB PO reasoning section overall score goes up to 38-39 marks. So you can target to score of 40 by using the preparation strategy below. One more thing to note, you&#8217;ve to devote 4 hours to the reasoning section to score this many marks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Start your preparation by solving number series and other miscellaneous topics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people have just given the LIC AAO exam, and they must have done rigorous practice of puzzles and seating arrangements. After such a hectic period, you need to slow down your preparation pace. But make sure that your preparation is continuous. To maintain consistency, you need to practice daily. While puzzles and seating arrangements might feel heavy this time. Start solving miscellaneous problems such as odd one out, number series, pair formation, word formation, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Solve at least 100 questions of each puzzle type before the examination<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most asked seating arrangement types are linear seating arrangement, circular seating arrangement, and square seating arrangement. Whereas when it comes to puzzle types, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/most-repeated-floor-based-puzzle-questions-for-rrb-po-2025\/\">Flat and floor-based arrangements<\/a>, box-based puzzles, uncertain, day and month-based puzzles are the most asked ones. To get a better score, you need to solve at least 100 questions of each type. This will help you master the art of selecting questions to solve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Practice topic tests or sectional tests at regular intervals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reasoning is a subject that can be mastered by practice only. The more you practice, the better you will solve the questions in the real examination. Also, if you practice in an exam-like environment, you will get accustomed to handling exam pressure, and this will help you a lot on the actual exam.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Analyse the answers and revisit the mistakes you made before giving another test<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking mock tests without doing any thorough analysis is a waste of your time and effort. It is necessary to analyse each mock answer very carefully. See how many questions are left unattempted and how many questions are wrong. Take note of all these parameters and revisit them before you take another mock. This will ensure that you won\u2019t repeat the same mistakes again and again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mistakes to avoid while preparing for IBPS RRB PO Reasoning section<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s discuss some of the common mistakes that aspirants generally commit while preparing for the examination. We advise you to go through these sections of the blog and keep these things in mind while you&#8217;re preparing the reasoning section to avoid the wastage of time and effort.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Starting with Puzzles Without Basics<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> Many aspirants begin preparation directly with puzzles and seating arrangements. Without mastering basics like syllogism, inequality, and direction sense, it becomes difficult to solve complex questions accurately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Ignoring Miscellaneous Topics<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> Focusing only on puzzles is not enough. Miscellaneous topics such as blood relation, coding-decoding, and order ranking can help you get quick and sure-shot marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Skipping Mock Analysis<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> Attempting mock tests without proper analysis is a common error. Reviewing each test helps identify weak areas and improve accuracy for the next attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Lack of Time Management<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> Spending too long on a single puzzle can lower your attempts. Learn to switch between questions wisely to maintain speed and balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Irregular Practice<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> Reasoning requires daily practice. Inconsistent preparation reduces problem-solving efficiency and affects performance in the actual exam. Also, when you\u2019re inconsistent, you\u2019ve to revise the concepts or tricks each time before practising the questions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we have discussed in detail about the strategy to score 40\/40 marks in the reasoning section of RRB PO exam.
