zainab i have the same book but the strategies which they have mentioned for analytical portion cant be solved in short span of time. because they are in much detail no short cut is shown in that book.

The key for the analytical ability section is practice.

For example when I started Analytical Reasoning practice, a set of 5 questions took me around 15 minutes to solve and even then I got a few wrong. After practising and going through the explanations in the book, slowly I got better at it and now I am able solve a typical set in about 6-7 minutes. The questions in the book get difficult as you progress through it, so if you go through them you should have no problem on the GAT. The things to remember while solving the questions are the rules described in the statements and getting the setup (diagram) right for the questions. Take your time while doing this because this will make the questions very easy. As for the book, do not be scared by the length of explanations offered for the questions, they are there for understanding and for this reason are long.

For Logical Reasoning, I have found the process of elimination to be the best tool. The important point for this section is not assume something which is not stated in the passage (unless it is universally accepted). Again do not be alarmed by the length of the explanations offered in the book. They are there so that we can completely understand the question and explain why other choices are incorrect.

Go through the book as much as you can and if finished look up questions on the internet. I cannot stress enough the importance of practice.

Hope this helps.

Only practice shall help. My sister failed the test thrice , I just gave her a piece of advice to practice from other books , and not to rely wholly on her notes and the GAT books available in the market.
She used to say that , GAT analytical is different from these other books , but I always told her to practice from any international book or website.
BY the grace of Almighty she passed the test this time , and only due to her analytical section paper.
This website Indiabix.com shall be very helpful.

PRACTICE , Practice , practice............
Stay blessed.

You should start practice from indiabix.com and a book for reasoning is available in PDF form from csspoint website , 501 challenging questions of analytical reasoning .
Improving maths at this age is quite difficult so you should focus on ENGLISH and reasoning.
