Tips for improving Reasoning Ability:
Understanding the Concept
Before beginning the practice of this section, you need to understand the basic concept of reasoning and logic. For instance, if you want to solve questions based up on Statements and Assumptions, then, first understand what is a statement? And what is an assumption?
Then only you will be able to differentiate between a statement and an assumption. This becomes all the more important as there is no formula as such that could help you in understanding what logical reasoning is.
Question yourself and clear you query
When you attempt a question based on Logical Reasoning and you get wrong, do find the logic behind the correct answer. Question yourself whether you are satisfied with your understanding or not?
If not, it is better to consult your mentor or discuss your queries with your study group and friends, rather than keeping it for the examination hall
Practice is the key
Logical Reasoning, as we discussed earlier, cannot be developed overnight; that is the reason why, you need to understand and solve logical reasoning question frequently to easily identify with the question when appearing for the final exam.
