Cognizant Technology Solutions  (CTS) 

  The  written  tests are  based  on  critical   reasoning  type questions. Word -based  problems,  verbal  ability, pattern recognition  and  pattern  matching, series  type, arithematic-based (including  functions  and  permutations) are usually  asked. This is only a sample paper. We are not providing you with all the questions - just some questions to give you a general idea of the test pattern.
