Since you’re looking for the tips, here are the best tips I’ve got for you for RRB NTPC Preparation:

1. Improve your logical skills: There is a general intelligence and reasoning section of 30 marks in the RRB NTPC exam. This section is very easy and the best for securing marks. As this section has been made to test candidates’ ability to think and problem-solving skills, therefore it is mandatory for the students to sharpen their logical and analytical skills. Trust me, if you can do this, you can secure at least 25 marks out of 30.

2. Join Online Coaching: Given the competition and number of students appearing for each post, professional coaching has somehow become mandatory if you want to strengthen your chances to pass the exam. You can join Achievers Academy Online Course for RRB NTPC because it is one of the best. They have got the best faculty, best videos, best resources, and best methods to help you prepare for the exam.

3. Command over concepts: Candidates should focus on both Verbal and Non-Verbal concepts as mentioned in the RRB NTPC syllabus. You should have an accurate understanding of directions, i.e., identifying which direction is West, North, East, or South. Also, in the reasoning section, you will be asked questions related to series, which is the most important topic, but it is also very difficult to master. You should make sure you practice each and every concept thoroughly and try not to rush through the topics.

4. Don’t make unnecessary assumptions: Always keep in mind that the questions asked in the paper will be solved by the data given only, there is no need to make any unnecessary assumptions or judgment while solving the problem. You need to use smart logic and appropriate to solve the questions.

5. Improve General Awareness: General Awareness is another section where you have a chance to secure good marks if you are completely updated about all important incidents happening in the state and nation. In order to improve your general awareness, keep reading important books, newspapers, and magazines. Also, watch the news every day.

6. Create Notes & Revise Them: If you’re not good at remembering, you can take notes on general affairs and keep them studying every time you get a little time. Revision is your best bet to make sure you don’t forget anything you have studied.

7. Improve Basics: For the mathematics section, you must improve your basics in all the topics mentioned in the syllabus. Apart from working on the syllabus, you need to learn short-cut methods to solve the problem because the key to pass the exam is to attempt it on time. And the maths section can take a lot of time if you do not know the shortcuts.

Good luck with the exam!
