TCS interview – 06 oct 2007 hyderabad

This is Sk.Adil. Here I would like to share about my experience on Written test which was held on 6-Oct-2007, Hyd. Totally there were 3 sets X,Y,Z.I got ‘Z’.

The written test consists of 3 sections.
1.VERBAL (32 Question(10syn, 10ant, 6sentence completion, 6RC).
2.Aptitude (38 questions)
3.Critical Reasoning (12 Questions).

Without Barron’s 12thedition, you can’t do anything. Because, most questions are from that book.

1.VERBAL SECTION:
For Synonyms:Just prepare GRE High Frequency words. It’s enough.
For Antonyms:Prepare all antonyms on the 5 model papers of GRE Barron’s 12th edition.
RC and Sentence Completion is little bit tough.

2.APTITUDE SECTION:
If you got previous papers, it’s enough. There are all repeated questions upto 90%.

3.CRITICAL REASONING:
This is the toughest section in this test. If you got through, then u will be automatically selected for technical.
For this, Just mug up Barron’s 12th edition. They are giving same questions even without changing the options.To confuse u,they are just changing the names.

I got very easy passages.
1.Bridge, Tunnel and Toll-free gate way.(This is the 1st passage in 1st model paper).
2.Red, Brown.
3.All G’s are H’s.something.
