Hence you need to enhance your thinking capacity by practicing them and crack the code which could lead you to the actual answer than to the close proximities.
• Follow the patterns well: If you have to crack Nonverbal reasoning questions you need to work out accordingly. You need to constantly practice to understand certain patterns that could develop your thinking while answering. The patterns for right answers need to be followed.
• Go for mock tests and time drills: For guaranteed success the candidates have to hone their skills by practicing mock test papers regularly. They need to take the time factor in mind as well while solving these reasoning questions. Sticking to a particular question and becoming rigid to answer that particular question leaving the time it takes aside, is a bad idea indeed.
• Bring forward new ideas: For solving the nonverbal problems in reasoning one need to be alert of the question as it doesn’t get supported through much verbal elements. Hence the candidate has to understand everything by the visual material and thus should come up with new ideas to solve them in lesser time.
