"Are you aware of the key to securing an interview with a major company? It all begins with an aptitude
test. To effectively prepare for aptitude tests for placements, it is crucial to adopt a systematic approach
and engage in dedicated practice. Here are some steps you can follow to prepare effectively:
1. Utilize the resources provided by your campus placement cell or career development cell. Consult
with them to obtain a list of companies that are likely to participate in campus placements and conduct
aptitude tests as a screening step.
2. Seek advice from your college seniors, friends, and LinkedIn connections. They can offer insights and
tips that others may not be aware of. Don't miss out on the opportunity to gather lesser-known tips and
tricks for preparing for aptitude tests for placements.
3. Regularly work on improving your calculation skills. You can practice mental math whenever possible,
without the need for specific papers or tutorials. For instance, challenge yourself with mental math
while shopping for groceries.
4. Compile a list of available free and paid online aptitude tests, along with their tentative dates.
Evaluate and prioritize the tests based on reviews and cost-effectiveness.
5. Cultivate the habit of reading newspapers or engaging with good books. Investing just 15 minutes a
day in reading can yield significant results. If you believe that reading is overrated, you may be pursuing
the wrong path.
6. Familiarize yourself with the test format by understanding the types of questions commonly asked in
aptitude tests. Determine whether the test will cover numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning, logical
reasoning, data interpretation, or any other specific areas.
7. Learn problem-solving techniques to solve questions quickly. Explore methods such as approximation,
elimination, and pattern recognition, which can save time during the test.
The standard format for aptitude tests in placements typically consists of three sections:

A couple of important notes to keep in mind:
1. Aptitude tests for placements usually do not allow you to revisit questions. You must either solve or
skip them. Therefore, practice questions from all topics and try not to leave any out.
2. Avoid looking at solutions before attempting any question. It is crucial to rely on your own problem-
solving abilities.
Remember, consistent practice and a focused approach are the keys to preparing for aptitude tests. Stay
motivated, track your progress, and believe in your abilities. Best of luck!
