Your state of mind should be such that as soon as you spot a reasoning question, the entire framework of that question should get set up in your mind and you know just the efficient way to answer that question. Howsoever dreamlike this situation sounds, it can be true for you. But the catch is that you get started with your preparation right away &amp; right now.

This section will have 35 questions to be dealt with within 20 minutes. This is for sure less time, and only practising beforehand with a continuous analysis can ensure that you make the most of this section. <strong>Remember: If the weightage of marks is considered, this section will be at the top with the marks allotted to this section in prelims and mains combined.<\/strong> So by preparing this section really well, you are not only getting ready for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/sbi-po\/?ref=5496\">SBI PO Prelims exam<\/a> but also for the Mains exam. Let\u2019s first have a look at the syllabus (list of topics) of this section:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Alphanumeric Series<\/li><li>Logical Reasoning<\/li><li>Ranking\/Direction\/<\/li><li>Alphabet Test<\/li><li>Data Sufficiency<\/li><li>Coded Inequalities<\/li><li>Seating Arrangement<\/li><li>Puzzle<\/li><li>Tabulation<\/li><li>Syllogism<\/li><li>Blood Relations<\/li><li>Input-Output<\/li><li>Coding-Decoding<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As earlier stated,<strong> this section demands a lot of practice<\/strong>. You need to understand the underlying concept properly and then start solving different kinds of questions on that particular concept.

Let\u2019s have a look at the tips you should be following as you solve different topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/sbi-po\/?ref=5496\">Take a Free Mock of SBI PO Prelims<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Puzzles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Generally, puzzles are lengthy and aspirants tend to take it at the last. But not necessarily all puzzles are difficult. You need to <strong>pick &amp; answer the easy &amp; moderate questions<\/strong> first.<\/li><li>Remember: it\u2019s only with practice that you can <strong>find out easy &amp; moderate puzzles from the difficult ones<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Start with the definite information<\/strong> first of the puzzle you are starting with.<\/li><li>Take all possibilities into account and <strong>don\u2019t presume anything<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inequality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Here you\u2019ll be given mathematical equations followed by conclusions. You need to <strong>choose the right conclusion<\/strong> which follows.<\/li><li><strong>Basic knowledge of the inequality rule is a must <\/strong>to solve these questions quickly. This knowledge should be backed by practising a lot of questions.<\/li><li>There will be a handful of questions from this section out of which 2 to 3 would be easy. <strong>Identify the easy ones first<\/strong> and answer them. Try to pick 1-2 moderate level question as well but don\u2019t give more than 1 minute time to them.<\/li><li>Try to <strong>infer the connections<\/strong> from the given statements before going through the conclusions.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/sbi-po\/?ref=5496\">Take a Free Mock of SBI PO Prelims<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seating Arrangement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Generally linear and circular seating arrangements are asked in exams. Nowadays, other <strong>variables<\/strong> are sometimes added like people favourite cities etc. which obviously increase the difficulty level.<\/li><li>Start with taking the <strong>base of info which are certain<\/strong>. Use the given information and rule out the possible combinations in order to find the right ones.<\/li><li><strong>Don\u2019t start with any negative information<\/strong>.<\/li><li>In case you are confused with left side\/ right side in a circular seating arrangement questions, <strong>keep yourself at the position<\/strong> to find out the left side\/ right side.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Syllogism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>These questions are mainly about <strong>conclusions based on the given statements<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Consider using the <strong>venn diagrams<\/strong> or try memorizing the <strong>rules<\/strong>.<\/li><li>In case the statement &amp; the conclusion is same, <strong>the conclusion will not follow<\/strong> from the given statement.<\/li><li>Do enough <strong>practice <\/strong>beforehand.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are some tips for important topics.
