Paper 12

1. Many questions from previous papers were repeated. The exact questions with the same values.

2. The question may not be repeated in future tests but I strongly suggest anyone who is going to appear for the test to solve the prev years papers religiously. It surely makes a lot of difference.

3. If you are unable to solve any question, just leave it and move on. Dont waste time on questions which might seem easy but eventually consume a lot of your time. And that will definitely not be worth it.

I had gone through the prev years papers, but was unable to find solutions for all the questions.

So, when I faced the same questions in the test, I regretted for not having byhearted the correct answers. Plz do not repeat this mistake.. I attempted around 25 questions. I cleared the test and I would have my interview soon. The venue is not yet disclosed.
Here are some of the questions which I remember.

Booklet: Purple.

You'll be surprised to know that almost all the questions from one of the previous papers find a place here.

I don't remember the order, but the questions are as follows.
