Let me tell u very clearly about various patterns
TCS followed till date..
1. Quebex pattern : (This
was in practice till 2010 batch)
The pattern here is it has verbal round, numerical and critical reasoning.
It has sectional cut off.
No negative markings.
(U need not worry about this since it’s no longer in practice)
2. Touch stone pattern:
The fact is no one will remember if i say it as touch stone pattern, they
remember only if i call 70 pattern :D
the pattern is there is around 36 questions, u need to solve in 1 hour.
Correct quest carries one mark, wrong question carries -1/3 marks,
so we must be very careful while selecting questions. if u do not know please
leave it. don try to attend wrong questions and get negative marks!!!!
Also time management plays a vital role!!! So pls be a lil careful and work on
it as well.
Questions won’t be tough. It might be lil tricky~!!!
Enclosing you the TCS touch Stone pattern.....TCS Tests will
be generally an Online test.. You need to answer 36 questions in 1 hour..
Question can be either from Numerical or Critical reasoning or Reading
comprehensions (RC's). RC's will be very rarely asked..
Questions will be easy if u know how to do a logic...
each correct question carries 1 mark and wrong question carries
-0.33 marks.. Typical CAT pattern...
Tips which i suggest to u while u sit for
Online Test:
1. Please make ur mind fresh..
Dont confuse yourself.. many will come n confuse u.. Don damn care about them..
Like for eg., if one guy has attended test and if he comes n confuses u with
question, dont bother.. Because TCS has 100000 sets.. U might get any set...
2. See you people are given 1
hour.. I request you people to give a brush up of all 36 questions for some 5
minutes.. By doing so., u will surely come across some 5 easy questions which
can be solved just by seeing.. This reduces the time.. Also u can know where
tough questions are.. So that u can use in later point of time...
3. Since its an online test, u
may will come across with many stress like server may go down., PC might switch off
etc etc.. Please don't get tensed..
4. Since No calculators are
allowed, Please try solve questions manually..
How to prep for Touch Stone pattern:
I could see all u people having
RS Aggarwal book in ur hand and doing problems from it..
Surely that will not help u people..
My suggestion is please try to
know the basic logic.. Don’t memorize the problem.. That will not help u in any
way.. If u are able to understand the logic, u can do any problem..
Again in Math... there is no sum
called tough.. It might be tricky.
Touch stone pattern is not at all
tough....:) That’s the truth...
Why few people feel touch stone pattern as Tough:
*there r 1ly 70 patterns. and few
patters will be hard to work out so some ppl will just study the answers
instead of learning how to work out. But in test they'll get same question with
different values.
*it often happens, after reading 1st line of
the question, ppl used to select answer without reading the rest of question,
don’t be overconfident like that. read full question and understand it and work
it out and answer.
*copying from the neighbors by seeing 1st line
alone. Note: u'll also get same kind of question like ur neighbor, but
questions will be shuffled and values will be changed.
*attending too many questions with guesses
*wrong information about cutoff marks. some
ppl might give u information like cutoff is 15 r 20 r 25 etc. so that they'll
attend 1ly 15 r 20 r 25 questions exactly, as they hear abt cutoff. but
remember it'll be decided only by tcs hr. so try to attend 5 r more questions
than minimum cutoff.
*some ppl used to be afraid of wat'll happen
if somethin happens to the system in which they r attending the test, forget
it, ter is a possibility of the application to get closed if u try to some
other application like calculator r something else. try to avoid running
anything else than the test window. even if something happens don’t worry too
much, coz u can resume the test using user id and pass.
*wasting too much time in single
question. so try to answer all simple and known questions and after completing
it, u can go for working out some tough questions.
*few ppl will not hav the habit of rechecking
the answers they hav written, but here after completing test, u'll surely hav
some time, so use tat time wisely and cross check ur answers and check whether
u hav attended enough questions.
Note: after test they'll collect ur user id. so note it somewhere. u'll
need it once if u get selected.
Any other doubts ask me :) :)
