Company: CTS

Hi friends this is Gaurav Arora from New Delhi. I graduated from KITS Ramtek(Nagpur University). I gave Cognizant Test
on 16th December Pune in JD’s Academy. I struggled for 6 months and finally i got it.

They will have a written test and the pattern they generally take is given below:

Verbal
Two passages(Attempt in the last)
Correction of Sentences(Do them as soon as possible)
Inferential Reasoning(Do them as soon as possible)
Dont do a mistake in attempting passages at first because they will eat your time. Please do the other part with accuracy

Analytical(Refer Verbal and NonVerbal Reasoning by R.S. Aggarwal)
Cubes(One definite one)
Binary no Question- The logic given in the question is confusing. The trick is to just convert the Decimal no to binary and represent into $ and *
Venn Diagrams(easy ones)
Data sufficeiency(Refer R.S Aggarwal Solved Questions)
Some profit-loss and Ration proportion(R.S aggarwal)
Try to do some Puzzles in R.S aggarwal as they will help you in cracking logic.

Attention to Detail(Figure Questions)
All figure related questions(easy ones)
Question like
ALL heros are this
All cats are mices(Solve the logic part in Section 2 of R.S Aggarwal)

Prepare these section because the key part to get through in CTS is time management in Aptitude Paper so prepare well.
