These are not asked every year. So they don't form the “Core” part. (although it doesn’t mean you shouldn't prepare them, because on a few occasions LIC has asked these in their AAO/ADO exam) Topic RS Aggarwal Chapter No. Non verbal reasoning last part of the book. Eligibility Test 18 Input output 7 Staternent assumptions Section Il, Ch.2 Data sufficiency 7 i Tip on Computer based Tests In the pen-paper based test, if you don’t know answer to a particular question, you could mark it or write its question number at the end of question paper (in the rough space). And at the end of the exam, you'll review that question and try to solve it. In the computer based test, they also provide same facility. Under every question there is button for “mark/review’. I suggest you goto following page and see how computer based test (CBT) “looks and feels” http://www.catiim.in/CATPracticeTest/index.html ‘http://www.catiim.in/CATPracticeTest/index.html. * You must make efficient use of mark/ review button. There are two ways to do it (whichever works fine for you). | Approach1 I Approach2 * Start solving questions one by one in the series (1,2,3..) if any questions is totally un- « Inthe beginning, donot solve any solvable then ignore it and proceed to next question.

Although there is no need to specifically get MK Pandey only for LIC exam. Because RS Agarwal's reasoning book is more than sufficient - as far as reasoning is concerned. i Approach: Maths, Quantative aptitude for LIC Maths of LIC is pretty much the 90s era Bank/SSC tests = few questions on BODMAS, algebra, percentages, average-alligiation, Time speed work distance and you're done. So, if you're a serious player of SSC/IBPS, then it should hardly pose any challenge to you. i How is LIC maths different from SSC CGL? « Trigonometry not asked * Geometry not asked (only mensuration asked - that Is area, volume, perimeter) * Coordinate geometry not asked. i How is LIC maths different from IBPS/SBI PO? * LIC’s data interpretation questions are very cheap and easy compared to them. ok, Question (again) is how to prepare it in a systematic manner? * Ofcourse you can just mugup a few formulas, practice a few questions from book. But that's like firefighting / desi-jugaad= not good. * Why? Because apart from LIC, you'd also be preparing for IBPS, SSC, CDS, CAPF, ONGC, CSAT, CAT (depending on your taste). So better approach is: first get basic concepts clear (from NCERT etc), then try maximum questions.
