AMCAT EXAM TIPS











Hello all if you are searching for some really usefull information regarding amcat exam,then you are at right place.

The exam is for 4hours and 30 mins online test.You will be given 1 minute optional break before starting each section.And also 1 min to read instructions.
Guys … remember time is very important criterion here.so make sure you attempt all the questions in time as there are no –ve marks.
In case your pc gets some problem while writing exam,NO PROBLEM !.It can be resumed from another pc.

For quantative aptitude section

Going through RS Agarwal book would do.
Some same alike questions were also asked.I practiced from rs agarwal for just 5-6 days.Hope you will start preparing before J.

For me the questions were from the concepts …
Logarithms-6bits,HCF LCM,percentages,profit and  loss,PC,probability,pipes cisterns.

For reasoning section

Going through RS Agarwal book would do.
The questions were from …
Coding,directions,blood relations,Statements-conclusion/arguments/course of action.
Analogy,Syllogisms,classification,odd man out out were not given in my paper dude.

For Technical part

Guys this could be a tricky section.
I was asked to write and submit a code for 2 programs in 1 hour(appx.) time.

Here you are expected to write a program which takes minimal amount of time.

My questions were..
1.C program to print below,when n=4 and s=3
3
44
555
555
44
3
2.Merge sort using pointers.

Guys ….my serious tips for this section are….
Go through c and datastructures programs that you have learnt before.
It would also help you in question based on source codes of DS programs.
It would be good if you do programs given in Balaguruswamy textbook for C.

And questions are asked like “what is the output  of the source code in c”.
Understand the concept of Complexities.

And must tell you here you should be good at Operating system subject. Because for me most of the questions were given as matchings from paging,segmentation,fragmentation etc.

Also see DBMS.

The toughest part I was given a question about hard disk cylinders. Except this all was well.

For English

Here I got just two synonyms and one antonym,2 passages,spot the error,ordering of sentences,error correction, alphabet test.

For me it seemed to be tough as I am not good at English grammar.but for one who is good at grammar its not an issue J.

For SVAR test.
It is a telephonic test. 
You have to call to the number given to you during the exam.

Here A section is just about reading the sentences given. 
Practice well reading these statements before calling.

Section B is listening to a voice and then repeating it.

Section C is listening to a passage and answering questions.

Section D is multiple choice .

Section E is listening to a question and spotting grammatical errors/correct sentence.

In Section F, you will be given a topic and 30sec for thinking. You have to talk about it for max 45secs.

After writing Amcat you will receive a detailed employabilty report of yours showing your scores and areas to concern.
