friends d nt put your efforts down,take honsala.
gk kisi book sa nai atta daily newspaper parna sa atta hai.
IQ part just sense use krna ke bte hai.
Math ka liya 8,9 or 10 th class ka questions be dakha karo,so many questions without logic hoty hain.English jise correction or vocabulory tek hai they r best.

Yes, me appearing in the test too, I think the verbal section will be similar to that of the GAT general one

GK is of two types. Current GK and fixed GK for current GK u can read newspapers magazines etc but for fixed gk which includes history, facts figures etc etc it is better to have a good book.

That was indeed very helpful. Please do share all the links you deem neccessary. Also, please share with us your work, for it is quite valuable as you've done so well in both SBOTS and YPIP. Looking forward to be further enlightened.

One more question, please clarify the 'expected' verbal portion of the forthcoming test. Some say it will be different from SBOTS and YPIP. If yes, what will be the new format of verbal portion like? Will it include vocabulary, more analogies? More importantly, will it include ANALYTICAL REASONING questions?

Regards to all of you

here is a bit of material that can help u solve the "fixed" general knowledge questions.. i remind u all again k it depends on the type of format. in SBOTS questions were mostly from fixed category whereas in YPIP they were mostly contemporary.. u hav to prepare yourself for both.. sports section is very important.... search it thoroughly... waise i don think test wud be difficult this time
