i really not prepared for dis section

2nd section : Aptitude
Prepare dis section very well dis section consist of 32 questions.For dis section prepare d old TCS questions
bcoz dey r always same(questions r given in dis portal by a Galgotia's student).And try to attempt most of d questions
as dere is no negative marking.I attented about 28 questions n dey are correct as i knew.

3rd section : Reasoning
12 questions will b dere.I have 3 paragraphs with 4 questions each.Prepare all 5 model test paper from
