TCS On line Aptitude Test
Aptitude Test
You can find so many placement paper on various site on internet. But you can be remain sure that a single one you will not get in Current TCS Aptitude Test. Aptitude test consist of 30 question for 80minutes.
There are 5-6 question from “Time & Work(lengthy calculation)”. And the rest of the question you can’t be guessed. In my question They were from volume & surface area, average, profit & loss, partnership, probability. But may be different in your test. Many question were too much lengthy to read. They consumes 1-1.2min just to read in.
So my suggestion is that do practice as much as possible from “Dr.R.S.Aggarwal Quantitative Aptitude”.
Now If you can clear the Aptitude Test, you are eligible for the next round..
