If you are a final year student, placements season would surely be an overwhelming time that requires a rigorous approach to improve your Aptitude skills for the job opportunities.
Whether you are preparing for an IT job, government job, or even for higher studies (TANCET (MCA/MBA), MS, GATE, etc), getting through the aptitude test is almost always the first step.
A lot of engineering students tend to ignore the aptitude test considering the level and type of questions in high school. What they forget is that competition is relative! You have to compete with people of a similar intellectual level as yours. No matter how good you are with the technical/coding part, if you do not get through the aptitude round, you are out of the race.
Quantitative aptitude measures numerical ability and problem solving skills of candidates. It forms an important part of almost all competitive exams and campus recruitment (initial or first phase).
It is one section which is used to filter out candidates as not everyone has the skill sets required to sail through this section. On the contrary, people who are good at it, have a chance to convert it into a highly scoring section and enhance their chances of cracking the entrance exam.
Quantitative aptitude shows one’s ability to comprehend and solve problems. As the tests are time bound, they also test the logical thinking of the candidates and their ability to reason and make effective decisions quickly under pressure.
