There are various types of question in the aptitude part. The english language verbal questions do not take time as there is no calculation involved. You can save much time here to devote to other questions like math, quantitative and reasoning. In case of calculation type math questions, you should try to do it in the time you have set for each question and if you havnt done it, just leave it and move on to the next. If you have solved half of it, write the calculations on some rough paper for doing it later if you can save some time in the end.
You will come across many persons who will say that there were many questions which i could do but there was no time. What spoiled their chance in the placement test was their bad time management skills as they spent a lot of time on few questions which they could not actually do and as a result could not spend time on the easy questions they could do. So thats very important. Spend fixed time on each question. If you cant complete it, move on to the next and if you have time in the end, allocate some time to each question and do as many as you can. Attempt all questions if there is no negative marking in multiple choice type questions. Reserve the last few minutes for randomnly tick marking the choices for the remaining questions. You can practise using the time management techniques in your regular college exams and apply them in the recruitment or employment placement papers. You can greatly increase your chances of selection in the written test and getting eligible for the final job interviews.
