You can start by fixing a timetable where you spend time everyday solving problems related to aptitude questions. If you are preparing for a exam in particular then please mention the same and we may be able to suggest you some of the best materials for that.

Also the solution to all your studies related problems is to have dedication and proper concentration.

I understand it becomes really difficult to concentrate on your studies, specially during this time.

Below I will share some tips that will help you to concentrate better:

• Find a time which is best suitable for you to study. Some find it better to concentrate in the morning while others find they can do better in the night.

• Decide what portions you would like to finish in that particular day

• Prepare a timetable according to the above, keeping slots for breaks

• Start studying with your favorite subject, so that you don’t get bored from the beginning itself

• Take breaks when you get bored, and try to avoid studying at a stretch for a longer duration.

• Always keep some time apart for your hobbies, exercise, etc.

• Eat healthy food, sleep well and also socialize. A healthy mind is the most important for good concentration

• Do some mind games like Sudoku, Crossword puzzles, Chess, etc

• Also try meditation

Hello aspirant

In 1 Minute hour, hand covers = 1/2 degree

Minutes are taken to cover 20 degrees = 2 x 20 => 40 Mins

Minute hand cover 6 degrees in 1 minute

In 40 Min = 6 x 40 => 240

Hope this helps. All the best.

Hello Aspirant,

As you have not mentioned any specific exam you are targeting , I assume you are generally speaking about competitive exams. From your question it seems like you were good at English and math but due to lack of practice you have become weak. So you need not worry, you can regain it by the lost practice. Before stepping into regular practice , you should brush up the basics in both English and math.For English start reading newspaper , articles, quality journals etc it will help you to tackle reading comprehension by increasing your reading speed and improving vocabulary. When you get English prep books you will be able to learn according to the latest question pattern. Try to converse in English to all family member and friends to improve fluency. Coming to quantitative aptitude, in most exams the syllabus is already what you have studied in school. So revisit all the basic concepts and formulas in all topics and start solving on a daily basis. Solve at least 100 questions daily. And finally , get a good mock test series of the exam which you wish to clear , and solve them to increase your speed and accuracy. You need not worry, you can improve anything with determination and practice.

All the best

See mathematics needs a lot of practice and reasoning needs a presence of mind which gradually develops due to practice. So I would recommend you to follow Quantitative Aptitude by RS AGGARWAL as well as Reasoning book written by the same.

The contents of the book are very good which will enhance your ability of problem solving. Follow the Previous question paper book by Arihant Publisher or any publisher so that you will get familiar to the pattern.

I hope my answer helps. All the very best for your future endeavors!
