Recommended Strategy-Quantitative Ability:

It will be highly difficult to attempt all the 30 Questions. The questions are repeating every year. So, if you are prepared for the previous sample papers of TCS available in the online forums  your rate of conversion will be higher. Strategy wise, first concentrate on solving the easy questions. It’s all about selecting the right questions. So, don’t hesitate to skip the question if you don’t get any idea after taking 10-15 seconds on reading the questions. Because reading the questions, repeatedly will not get you the answer.

Recommended Strategy-Email Writing:

This is one of the easiest parts. First quickly try to understand the given scenario then start writing. Be simple and crisp. Don’t move away from the topic. Grammar is one of the important things that they evaluate. So some silly grammatical mistakes can hinder your chances. You need not use complex vocabulary. It should be simple such that everyone understands.
