Cracking the CUET General Test: Quant, Reasoning and GK

For DU and many central universities, the General Test is a deciding section for several courses. It rewards breadth and speed rather than depth, which makes it highly trainable.

Quantitative aptitude

The maths is Class 8–10 level: percentage, ratio, profit and loss, averages, time-speed-distance and simple interest. Drill percentage↔fraction conversions until they are automatic — they unlock half the section.

Logical and analytical reasoning

Series, analogies, coding-decoding, blood relations and syllogisms appear every year. Always commit clues to paper — draw the family tree, the seating circle or the Venn diagram. Mental solving is where students lose marks.

General knowledge and current affairs

Maintain a one-line-a-day current-affairs note covering national schemes, awards, sports and summits from the last twelve months. Pair it with static GK — polity, geography and history basics.

Practice cadence

Two 10-minute reasoning sets and one current-affairs review per day beats a weekend cram. Track your Bloom level on each sub-topic on 10minCUET.
