Guide: General Aptitude Test (Qudurat)
A complete guide: every question type and how to solve it, memory tables and formulas, mnemonics, and questions to try yourself. Prepare for the General…
- Meet the test: The General Aptitude Test measures how well you understand and reason, not what you memorized. Every question type has a fixed method; master it and the question becomes easy.
- Verbal analogy: Two words share a relationship; pick the pair with the same relationship in the same order. The whole secret is turning the link into a short sentence.
- Sentence completion: A sentence with one or two blanks. The answer is the one that makes the whole sentence logical, and the linking words point to it.
- Contextual error: A sentence with underlined words; one contradicts the overall meaning. The error is in meaning, not spelling or grammar.
- Association & difference: “Choose the word that differs”: four words, three share one link and the fourth does not. The link may be the category or the meaning.
- Reading comprehension: A passage followed by questions. The answer is in the passage or inferred from it, never from your general knowledge.
- Arithmetic: Operations, fractions, percents, ratios, powers, number properties and word problems. No calculator, so simplifying and estimating are your key skills.
- Algebra: Equations, inequalities, expressions and functions. Many questions have a quick trick, and sometimes trying the choices is fastest.
- Geometry: Angles, triangles, polygons, circles, solids and coordinates. Figures may not be drawn to scale; trust the numbers, not the picture.
- Statistics & data: Averages, reading pie charts, bar charts and tables, probability and counting.
- Quantitative comparison: Two quantities to compare. The four choices never change, in the same order, so learn them and don’t waste time reading them.
- Memory tables: These numbers come up again and again. Knowing them saves minutes in every quantitative section. Review them daily for a week.
- Test-day strategy: Knowledge alone isn’t enough; managing your time makes the difference between a good score and a great one.
