Prepare GRE barrons high frequency word list (330 words) for this section from 12th addition.Also words given in five model test papers you may not be able to score much in this section .

Sol) log 0.317=0.3332 and log 0.318=0.3364, then
log 0.319=log0.318+(log(0.318-0.317)) = 0.3396. (a question matching to this . not same dis is just an idea).

Amount for x: 80 (100-20); y:70 ;z:60
x+y+z =210 .total income for 3 companies =300.so,300-210=90.
(90*100)/300=30%.)

.+x50)/50 =50;
(x1+x2
.+x50+x51)/51= 51; (x1+x2+
+x50)=2500

.
Q-40 question on data interpretation (bar graph) 3 sub-parts.simple
This section is very simple if u hv prepared previous papers properly.These are availiable on dis site.Almost all questions are 4m previous papers.The figures may be changed.Do data interpretation 4m r.s.aggarwal (quant),venn diagrams 4m r.s.aggarwal (verbal, non-verbal).
SECTION C-CRITICAL REASONING
Prepare all 5 model test papers 4m GRE-Barrons (strictly 12th edition) critical reasoning part.Questions are cut, copy,paste 4m dere.prepare dis part very well.its MUST.
NOTE: WITHOUT GRE-BARRONS (12th EDITION) ITS VERY VERY DIFFICULT TO CLEAR THE WRITTEN TEST.
2.TECHNICAL (T.R.):To I&C students its my suggestion prepare atleast 1 subject really well.I prepared micro processors.They asked me to explain 8085 block diagram and also abt programming while performing practicals. Prepare C and C++ as per ur resume.they asked me differences between C and C++. Also I was asked to write a program on factorial.
3.H.R.:Here situations were given to me like on customer satisfaction.Basically they are checking ur confidence.why TCS ? why TCS should hire you? Strengths, weakness.
FEW POINTS:
1. Prepare ur resume wid utmost care.
2. Refer to papers on this site .These are really very beneficial.
3. Greet them well when u go for inter-view.
4. Keep smiling.
5. Eye-contact is very important.
6. Do not argue.Remember they know much more than u do.Be polite.
