How to Prepare Reasoning questions for Bank Exams

Reasoning questions are very important part of bank exams as they test candidate's decision making, preciseness, analytical ability etc. Reasoning questions are normally considered to be very confusing as the candidates can not easily decide on an answer without taking some time and applying good analytical skills so reasoning should not be attempted first. Candidate should attempt this section after saving some time from Questions of General awareness and General English.


Reasoning questions have large variety and widely classified into verbal and Non-verbal reasoning.
Verbal reasoning includes questions classified as below :-
  • Alphabetical and numerical series
  • Questions deriving from some given facts and relations
  • Questions on Directional analysis
  • Coding-decoding on a pattern
  • Questions on age calculation
  • Questions on Mirror images
  • Questions on Human relations
  • and More.......
Non-verbal reasoning includes questions on some series of graphical representations. For example, four graphical pictures are shown depending upon some series, the candidate has to decide the next in series by finding out the logic used in creating the series.
Again, practice is the key as it makes you realize the types of questions you're good at and which section needs more attention.
Reasoning and Quantitative Aptitude/Numerical ability are the two time taking sections in any bank exam. The candidate will surely have to do a lot of switching between questions to make sure he/she does not waste too much time on particular question while the relatively easier ones are waiting to be grabbed. This can only Be mastered through right amount of practice.
