Performance Review and Tips for Future Aspirants

  • VARC – Since the RCs in 2019 were more challenging than in 2018, my decision not to ignore the VA section paid off. Many candidates ignore the VA section or visit it in the dying moments of the exam. Hence, despite difficult RCs, my percentile in this section was boosted as the VA section was comparatively easier.

Never ignore VA section

  • DILR – This section provided a relief since it was much easier compared to the previous years. I could attempt 4 sets and got 13 correct. Should have gotten all correct here.

Accuracy is the key in DILR

  • QA – I could go through 30 questions and attempt 20 of them. Got all correct.

Leaving difficult questions and going for the easy to moderate ones is the key to do well in QA

All the best!
