GAT subject test has 100 MCQs. Time allowed for the test is 2 hours. Test is divided into following two sections:  
<ul>
<li>General section: 30%</li>
<li>Subject section: 70% </li>
</ul>
General section consists of two portions: 
<ol>
<li>Verbal (English) </li>
<li>Analytical Reasoning</li>
</ol>
<h3>
1 - Preparation for Verbal (English):</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
English part assesses candidate’s grammatical learning and vocabulary with regards to its correct utility. 
The questions include: 
<ul>
<li> Correct usage of a verb, adverb, adjective, conjunction or preposition in sentences</li>
<li> Synonyms and Antonyms</li>
<li> Analogies questions</li>
<li> Paragraph based questions</li>
<li> Tense related questions </li>
</ul>
<h4>
Guidelines for preparation of Verbal (English) </h4>
The guidelines for preparation are given below: Learn the basic rules of English tenses as some of the questions are about using correct form of a verb or auxiliaries in sentence.  
Example: He has ______ the glass.  
(A) break  
(B) broke  
(C) broken.  
Answer: He has broken the glass.   
Learn correct usage of prepositions which are commonly used. All tests have at least two to three MCQs about correct usage of preposition. 
Example: Someone is knocking ____ the door.  
(A) on  
(B) over  
(C) at  
(D) up.  
Answer: Someone is knocking at the door.   
Study some good books of MCQs (i.e. SAT-I). Most of the ‘synonyms, antonyms and analogies’ question are given from those books in the test. Study the local books of MCQs as they offer a wide range of MCQs designed for test. It will enable you make preparation in short time. 
<h3>
2 - Preparation for Analytical reasoning:</h3>
Analytical reasoning assesses you on the basis of your mental capabilities and skills of situational analysis and processing. You are given a set of data as well as some rules. You asked to process data according to given rules. Examples: Sajid has to study four books (i.e. English, Physics, Chemistry & Biology) on four different day from Thursday to Sunday. He has to study the books according to the following rules: 
 
Chemistry on a day before English Biology is studied on a day after Physics 
 Q. No.1. Which of the following is correct order of books for four days? 
<ul>
<li>Chemistry, Biology, English, Physics</li>
<li>Biology, Chemistry, English, Physics</li>
<li>Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English</li>
<li>English, Chemistry, Biology, Physics. </li>
</ul>
Q. No. 2. If Sajid studies Chemistry on Saturday, which must he have read on Thursday? 
<ul>
<li>English</li>

</ul>
<h4>
Guidelines for preparation of  Analytical reasoning</h4>
Here are some guidelines: 
<ul>
<li>MCQs requires attention. Be attentive and focused on the question during test. </li>
<li>To attempt the question, focus on both data as well as the rule simultaneously. Students usually focus only on data, ignoring the given rules or vice versa. You have to retain both in your mind to solve them quickly.</li>
<li>If rules are given as long statement, better you draw short symbol for them on rough paper. It will help you easily grasp them while focusing on data as well as the options.</li>
<li>Most of the question are about making combination of given items. Hence, prepare such questions. </li>
<li>Practice those MCQs from the locally available books. It will help you learn the nature of question as well as techniques to solve them.</li>
</ul>
<h3>
Preparation for Subject Section:</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
The subject section varies for each discipline of admission into PhD. Similarly, it varies for the area of recruitment, if the test is attempted for recruitment purposes. 
<h4>
Guidelines for preparation of Subject Section </h4>
<h4>
</h4>
Here are some guidelines for preparation: 
<ul>
<li>Study your subject thoroughly to learn each topic conceptually.</li>
<li>During preparation, have a pencil and underline information given in each sentence which can be asked in MCQ. You can also use high-lighter for high-lighting the important facts and figure.</li>
<li>Be a keen reader and inquisitive learner to grasp ideas given in each sentence.</li>

</ul>
<h3>
NTS Test Taking Strategies - Guidelines</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<ul>
<li>Time for MCQs exam is usually short. You should divide the total time on number of MCQs to get an idea of time for each MCQ.</li>
<li>You must have a wrist watch during your test. Keep an eye on the wrist watch to move on with time.</li>
<li>Read every MCQ with care but speedily to finish the test in time.</li>
<li>Attempt the easy MCQs first. Leave the complicated MCQs for the end. Encircle the number of every un-attempted MCQ to identify it easily in the end.</li>
<li>Do not stick to one MCQ if it is consuming much of your time. It will waste all of your time for the other easy MCQs.</li>
<li>If you find a MCQs totally complicated because you do not have any idea about it. Skip out some option which you think cannot be the answer. The remaining option would increase your chances of selecting correct option from them.</li>
<li>You should practice some available test at home for preparation for the real test. It will help you learn the tactics of solving MCQs and finishing test in time.</li>

<h3>
GAT General Test</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
 GAT General Test consists of following three parts: <ol>
<li> Verbal reasoning </li>


<li> Quantitative reasoning </li>


<li> Analytical reasoning</li>
</ol>
The proportion of each part vary in test depending on purpose of test (i.e. admission, scholarship, recruitment etc) or discipline of admission if it is attempted for seeking admission in MS/MPhil. 
<h3>
1 - Preparation for Verbal reasoning (English)</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
This part is designed to assess your grammatical knowledge and vocabulary with regards to its correct usage. The questions include: 
<ul>

</ul>
<h4>
Guidelines for preparation of Verbal reasoning</h4>
<h4>
</h4>
Guidelines for preparation are as follows: <ul>
<li> Learn the basics of English tenses </li>
</ul>
You should learn the Basics of English Tenses because most of the questions are on usage of correct form of verb and auxiliaries.  
 
Example: I have ____ a poem.  
(A) write  
(B) wrote  
(C) written.  
Answer: I have written a poem. 
<ul>
<li>Learn correct usage of prepositions</li>

available books of MCQs. These provide you with a huge bank of MCQs 
which can be easily prepared in a short time. 
<ul>
<li>Study standard books of English grammar</li>
</ul>
You should study standard books of English grammar which discusses the grammar concepts in details. 
<h3>
2 - Preparation for Quantitative reasoning (Mathematics) </h3>
<h3>
</h3>
The quantitative reasoning includes simple arithmetic questions. These are easy questions but involve thought provoking tricks. 
The questions 
include: Arithmetic question i.e. addition, subtraction, division and multiplication Percentages , Ratio and Proportion , Simple Algebra , Simple geometry i.e. area of shapes and volumes of bodies. 
<h4>
Guidelines for preparation of Quantitative reasoning</h4>
<h4>
</h4>
Guidelines for preparation are as follows:  
 These are very easy question because these are designed for all 
students coming from different educational disciplines. Questions are 
based on simple arithmetic of class eight, nine and ten. 
<ul>
<li> Learn the
 short formulas to solve questions quickly. </li>
</ul>
Example: What is sum of 
number from 1 to 100?  
If you start adding all the numbers from 1 to 100,
 it will take hours. But it has a simple formula. 
Sum of digits = number
 of digits (first digit + last digit)/2 Sum of digits = 100(1 +100)/2 = 5050 (Answer) 
<ul>
<li>learn the basic formulas of area</li>
</ul>
For geometry, learn the basic formulas of area of shapes and volumes of
 bodies. Sometimes you may be asked to find area of an unusual shape. 
Remember, such shapes are basically a combination of squares and 
triangle. You have to find area of individual square and triangle. Add 
areas of all squares and triangles (as part of the shape) to calculate 
total area of the unusual shape. If a semi-circle is also a part of the 
same shape. Find area of circle and divide by two. 
<ul>
<li> Learn 
Pythagorean theorem conceptually.</li>
</ul>
It is favorite area of test makers. 
Pythagorean theorem is used to find length of one side of a triangle. 
You may be asked to find a length between two points in a scenario. It 
may be basically a triangle, where you need to use Pythagorean theorem.  
Example: A common question where length of wall and floor is given and 
you are asked to find length of ladder to reach to top of wall. 
<ul>
<li> Learn the basics of calculating percentages and ratios. </li>
</ul>
 Questions are easy but involve simple arithmetic tricks. See the following examples: Question: If ¾ of a number is 7 more than 1/6 of the number, what is the number? 
A. 12  
B. 15  
C. 18  
D. 20 
<h3>
3 - Preparation for Analytical reasoning:</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
Analytical reasoning part is designed to assess your analytical skills, mental sharpness and situational processing skills. You are given certain facts and rules. You are asked to process the facts by applying rules. For 
example: Five educational documentaries, namely A, B, C, D and E, are to
 be shown to students in the following manners. A must be shown earlier than D B must be shown earlier than D E must be shown on fifth number   
Q. No. 1. Which can be the correct order of showing documentaries? 
<ul>
<li>A, C, B, D, E </li>
<li>A, C, D, E, B</li>
<li>B, D, C, A, E </li>
<li>B, D, C, A, E</li>
</ul>
Q. No. 2. If C is shown earlier than E, which of the following stand true? 
<ul>
<li>A is the first film shown </li>
<li>B is the second film shown</li>
<li>C is the third film shown </li>
<li>D is the fifth film shown</li>
</ul>
<h4>
Guidelines for preparation of Analytical reasoning</h4>
<h4>
</h4>
Guidelines are as follows: <ul>
<li> During the test, be attentive and alert mined. </li>
</ul>

 While attempting the question, focus on both facts and rules at same 
time. Have both of them retained in your mind. Usually students focus 
only on the facts ignoring the rules or vice versa. 
<ul>
<li>Make a short symbols or formula</li>
</ul>
If rule 
statement are too long. Better make a short symbols or formula. It will 
help you easily grasp them while focusing on facts and the given 
options(answers). 
<ul>
<li>Practice such test from books</li>
</ul>
Mostly you are asked about making combination of 
items with rules. Suppose, different groups of three alphabets each are 
to be made from given 6 alphabets, i.e. A, B, C, D, E and F. Rules are 
given that in a same group B and E cannot come together; and a group 
having F must have C too. Better practice such questions. Practice such test from books in order to learn the nature of such questions and tactics to solve them. 
<h3>
 NTS Test Taking Strategies - Guidelines</h3>
