Normally there are 50 questions in quantitative section, out of 50, 20 are easy. In most of the exams cutoff hovers around 23-24. So let's discuss some basic tricks to get high scores in quantitative section.
During exam
1. Skip questions Out of 50 questions you need to score 20+ . There are 5-6 questions of high difficulty level, it's better to skip them then wasting time on them.

Calculated profit percentage. a) 33.333%
b) 50% c) 66.666% d) Can't be determined It can be easily seen that man saved 50% of what he sold. He saved 6 oranges while he sold 12 oranges. Clearly answer is 50% 3. Estimation Try to estimate answer. You can 't solve 200 and more questions in 2 hours. This trick can be used in profit and loss, time distance, data interpretation and many more chapters. 4.
