How to prepare Reasoning Questions for Bank Exams

Reasoning questions are an important part of Bank exams and can be the deciding factor. Here we discuss some facts to Remember while attempting reasoning ability part in the Bank Exams.
Order of solving the questions is very important and most people find questions from 15-21 to be tough, so try doing 1-15 first which are relatively easy and should be done at a rate of 20-25 seconds per question it will save you time for the Tough ones. Then, Skip directly to the last question and solve backwards to make it up to the most difficult ones. Practice this strategy and it works well.
Understand properly before solving. Logical Reasoning differs from Comprehension passages in that you must understand every word of the question in logical reasoning while passages often discuss unfamiliar theories and terms that you don't actually need to Know. Students make mistakes while carelessly skimming in reasoning questions. So understanding properly before solving is important.
Although you need to read every word still every word isn’t important. The only important words are that derive either the evidence or conclusion of a particular argument. For example, read this- “Tacos often contain a variety of things such as chicken, beans and cheese. No two tacos have one ingredient to another in the same proportion. Thus, any two tacos can be distinguished from each other by their taste.”
Here, the first sentence is neither the evidence nor the conclusion - it’s just the background information that you need to understand the meaning of the argument. We know this sentence is unnecessary, so we can cross it out. This requires lot of practice.

While practice questions, to distinguish between answers you're sure about and those where you're guessing is a good deal, even if the guess is confident. If you're not fully sure for an answer, put a "/" next to it. A question where you've chosen the answer to be either "A" or "D" (and you've eliminated other options) would be written as "D/A" and your answer for a question when you're more confident about "A" than "D" would be "A/D" or vice-versa.

This will help you measure your performance more accurately and will provide guidance for review. Tracking the question-types you consistently miss is necessary to effective studying.
Remember that practice with a right direction is the key to success in any exam. So keep practicing!!
All the best for your Success!!!
