GATE 2010 GENERAL APTITUDE SAMPLE TEST : PART I

What's New in GATE 2010?



Q.56 to Q.60 : From General Aptitude (GA) will carry one mark each (sub-total 5 marks). 1/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer.
Q.61 to Q.65 : From GA will carry two marks each (sub-total 10 marks) 2/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer
We all know that GA section has been introduced in GATE examination from this year.I think GA section will be the deciding factor when it comes to ranking and GATE score. It carries 15 marks i.e. 5 X 1 + 5 X 2.

GATE 2010 General Aptitude Question Pattern


This is hot topic as far as GATE 2010 discussion is considered. Wherever you go - forums, edu-blogs there is vibrant discussion of "What will GA section include?".
Some possible combinations are:


  • 5Qs QA + 5Qs DI
  • 5Qs QA + 5Qs DS
  • 5Qs QA + 5Qs (DI + DS)
  • Mixed Bag
QA : Quantitative Analysis, DI : Data Interpretation, DS : Data Sufficiency

From my opinion the most probable case is second. But nobody can assure you about this and we have to prepare for everything that we think possible!

How and What to Prepare


If everything goes as depicted above, it will be fine for most of us. Specially for those who have tons of experience from pre-final year in solving pre-recruitment tests or preparing for CAT, GMAT entrance examinations.
