Microsoft Placement Paper Pattern

Pattern is as follows:

There are 3 sections

1. Analitical Section 25 questions ( 30 minutes)
2. Reasoning Section 25 questions (25 minutes)
3. Verbal Section 20 questions (20 minutes)


The analytical part consists of

1.In a class 25 students play cricket 15 play football and so on. Now the question is like How many play both or like that. easy one from RS aggarwal.

2. A problem on cubes division and painting. Again a popular question from MNC placement papers.
(there are many quiestions based on this problem)

3. some other simple Qs.


Logical Questions part:

1. Data suficiency problems

i.e Some thing is given. Whether we can get answer by considering only first statement or only second statement or both or none.

2. Comparing similarity:

3 figures are given. Compare them. Its the easiest part of the microsoft written multiple choice exam.

Verbal part consists of

1. similar meanings
2. antonyms
3. passages
(some what tough)
4.synonyms

These were the real questions in the Microsoft GTSC test. See more IT Companies sample placement papers.

Multiple Choice Exam

Studying for a multiple choice exam requires a special method of preparation distinctly different from an essay exam. Multiple choice exams ask a student to recognize a correct answer among a set of options that include 3 or 4 wrong answers (called distractors ), rather than asking the student to produce a correct answer entirely from his/her own mind.

For many reasons, students commonly consider multiple choice exams easier than essay exams. Perhaps the most obvious reasons are that:

1. The correct answer is there, somewhere. (lucky guesses are possible)
2. Multiple choice exams tend to ask for simple information like single facts.
3. The exams usually contain many more questions thus each is worth a small amount of the grade. You can miss a few and still do OK.

Despite these factors, however, multiple choice exams can actually be very difficult:

• Because there are many questions, students have to know more information.

• Multiple choice exams also usually expect students to have a greater familiarity with details such as specific facts. You can't shotgun like on essay exams.

(Shotgunning - spraying factoids randomly, hoping that enough irrelevant information will add up to a coherent answer.)

• Finally, because it is much more difficult for a teacher to write good multiple choice questions than to design essay questions, students often face higher risks due to unintended ambiguity. In other words, you get bad questions.

Students must prepare well for these types of exams. The information must be well understood and remembered. There is no room for ambiguity or having things mostly correct. If you are well prepared though, there are some strategies available that will help on exam day.

Rules when taking tests:

• Do the multiple choice items first if your exam has types of questions other than multiple choice.

  Merely reading the questions and possible answers will stimulate your thinking. Sometimes the ideas in the questions will get you thinking about other parts of the exams. You may even find hints in one question that will help you answer other questions.

• READ the whole question AND answers carefully.

What are the directions for the question? Questions may direct you to "Choose the false statement." , "Choose the true statement." or "Choose the best answer". Some options may be "All of the above" or "None of the above". Make sure you know what the question wants you to do.

Time is sometimes short during exams. Longer exams require some time management. Here are some tips:

Answer the questions you are confident about first. (READ carefully though) Mark the ones you have not answered; do them later.

Next, work on the questions that you can answer with a little thought. Save the really tough ones for later. Erase the mark when done.

Lastly work on the questions that are left. There should only be a few remaining. Work on them as you have time. Don't leave any blank.

Some students do well by reading the question and then try to answer it without looking at the choices. Students who do well on essay exams can use this to advantage. One in three students can score better with this strategy alone.

• Read the question and scan the answers. Eliminate obviously wrong answers.

• Be careful of "all of the above" and "none of the above" questions. These are sometimes the correct choice but are also often used as a distractor to confuse students. Be sure the choices available pertain to the question. Sometimes correct statements are included that have nothing to do with the question you're working on.

• Beware of negatives. If a negative such as "none", "not", "never", or "neither" occurs in the question then you're looking for a "catch". Read these carefully and be positive you understand the question. There will be an answer that matches even if your thinking is backwards.

• Words such as "every", "all", "none", "always", and "only" are superlatives that indicate the correct answer must be an undisputed fact.

• "Usually", "often", "generally", "may", and "seldom" are qualifiers that could indicate a true statement.

• Answer the questions without assuming too much. Don't be led astray by overanalyzing. Read the question and assume all the information is there for a reason. Ask for clarification if needed.

• What about when it's down to two possible answers?

Ask how the two answers differ (just the answers, ignore the question), maybe jot down how the two answers differ. Then look at the question again and ask yourself "how is this difference important for this question?" If you really think there's absolutely no difference between the two answers (e.g. just two words that mean the same thing), then look again at the answers you've eliminated - maybe one of them is actually the correct one.

• Read the question over separately with each separate answer. Cover up all the other answers as you read the question over separately with each specific answer. This reduces the distracting effects of the wrong answers and can make it easier for you to see intuitively which answer makes better sense.

Other possible tricks:

(Caution: a clever instructor will use these generalizations to actually trick the students into thinking they are being clever, when they are actually falling into a trap)

1. Responses that use absolute words, such as "always" or "never" are less likely to be correct than ones that use conditional words like "usually" or "probably."
2. "Funny" responses are usually wrong.
3. "All of the above" is often a correct response. If you can verify that more than one of the other responses is probably correct, then choose "all of the above."
4. "None of the above" is usually an incorrect response, but this is less reliable than the "all of the above" rule. Be very careful not to be trapped by double negatives.
5. Look for grammatical clues. If the stem ends with the indefinite article "an," for example, then the correct response probably begins with a vowel.
6. The longest response is often the correct one, because the instructor tends to load it with qualifying adjectives or phrases.
7. Look for verbal associations. A response that repeats key words that are in the stem is likely to be correct.
8. Play the old Sesame Street game "Which of these things is not like the other?" Sometimes the distractors will be very similar to trick students into thinking the choice is between one or the other. The answer will be something unrelated.

Following-up after your exam has been returned

Meet with the professor to go over the exam. Look for patterns in your wrong answers.

• Did you miss the question because you were unprepared? Study more carefully.
• Did you misread the question? Take your time.
• Did you know the answer but panic? Be well prepared, it promotes confidence.

• Try to see what the instructor was looking for with each question: Recognition? Analysis? Synthesis based on understanding? Then adjust your studying.

Exam Preparation

Exam Preparation Tips

For many people, exam time is the most stressful part of the school year. With so much riding on the outcome, there can be a high degree of pressure to perform well. Here are some exam preparation tips to help you excel in school.

Getting Started

The earlier you start, the more time you will have to prepare for the exam. You don't have to wait until exam time approaches; try to set the stage from the beginning of the course by reviewing the material after each class. By starting early and studying on a regular basis, you will have a better opportunity to absorb the information and life will be a lot easier when it's time to put it all together for the exam.

Make sure all of your course material is well organized so you can find and fill any gaps. If you miss any classes, get the notes from your friends right away instead of scrambling at the last minute. Proper organization will help you to get a better picture of the material that has to be covered and improve the flow of the study process.

Creating a Study Plan

As the exam nears, you will need to create a plan to help you study effectively and minimize stress. The first step is to figure out how much time and effort you must dedicate to studying for the exam by asking the following questions:

• How much material do you need to cover?
• How difficult is the material?
• How much time is available?
• Do you have any other priorities during the study period?
• What is the format of the exam?
• How important is the exam?
• What is your performance target for the exam?

To prepare the study plan, map out all of the material that has to be covered and make a schedule showing what, when and how much you will study each day. If you have kept up with the course work, studying will involve revision of the material that you have already covered. If you are behind in the course, you will have to finish the readings and other uncompleted work before starting the revision (if there isn't enough time to go over everything, you must decide what is most important for the exam).

Here are some tips to follow in creating your study plan:

• budget your time realistically;
• allocate the study time into several manageable study sessions;
• divide the course material into small segments and assign them to the study sessions;
• set clear and specific goals for the study sessions;
• prioritize to ensure that material weighted more heavily in the exam gets sufficient study time;
• take into account your familiarity with the material and the difficulty level;
• don't make the study sessions too long;
• study sessions should have enough variety in terms of topics and activities to prevent boredom and loss of effectiveness;
• avoid cramming before the exam; and
• don't forget to include regular breaks.

Studying for the Exam

You are now armed with a plan and ready to start studying for the exam. Try to study in a location where you can concentrate and won't be interrupted. You can work with others or join a study group if you find it helpful, but be careful to keep it from turning into an inefficient use of your time. Some proven study tools and techniques are listed below - people respond to different learning styles, so use what works for you.

Revising with Summary Notes

Make a condensed version of your readings and class notes by creating summary notes. Pinpoint the key terms and concepts and make sure that you understand them. You can identify key terms and concepts by paying attention to what has been emphasized in your classes, textbooks and course syllabus. For example, if a particular topic has taken up a lot of time in the classroom, it is more likely to be on the exam and you should have a good understanding of it.

The process of making summary notes can help you to retain more information. By writing the information thoughtfully instead of just seeing it, you can develop a greater perception of the material. To take this further, activate your other senses: you can recite the summary notes aloud, and even record and listen to them.

Memorizing with Flashcards

Flashcards (or "index cards") are a good memorization tool. Reduce your summary notes into bullet points, keywords, lists, formulas and diagrams and place them onto a card for each topic. (Some people like to use flashcards to prepare their summary notes in the first place, while others find that it leads to information overload.)

The items on the flashcards act as memory triggers. By memorizing the flashcards you can enhance your ability to recall larger bits of information referenced by the triggers. You can carry the cards with you and review them even when you have only short bursts of time available.

Practicing under Exam Conditions

Knowing the course material is necessary but not sufficient to guarantee success on the exam - you also need to be able to communicate the answers effectively under exam conditions. Practice using sample questions in the same format as the exam and answer them in a simulated test environment. The sample questions can be sourced from old exams and assignments, which are often similar from year to year with small changes. Even though you are only practicing, it is better to write full answers to the questions so you can work through the entire thought process.

The practice session should serve as a feedback loop. Check the answers to the practice questions to diagnose your strengths and weaknesses. If you are weak in an area, go back and study it further to address any gaps.

Taking Care of Yourself

Don't forget to take care of yourself during the exam preparation. It is very important to be in good mental and physical condition for the exam. A small amount of stress can get you psyched, but too much mental or physical strain can be detrimental to your performance. The last thing you want to do is to sabotage your efforts by ignoring your well-being.

After you finish studying, take some time to relax. Don't stay up too late if you can help it and try to get a good night's sleep. Eat before the exam to build your energy, but avoid heavy foods that can make you drowsy.

Keep a positive attitude about the exam. Think of it as a way to demonstrate your knowledge and not as some imposing challenge. Go to the exam focused and relaxed - you have done the work, now it's time to reap the rewards.

Physics Exam Advice

December, that magical time of year when people stop and reflect on... whether they're going to pass Physics! Having marked Physics exams at three Universities I've found a few general principles that seem to help. If you'd like to do better in Physics than what you're doing right now, here are some points to consider which may help in other subjects as well:

1. Go for the part marks: too many students think its all or nothing. they don't hand in imperfect assignments, and don't write down enough to give them part marks on exam questions. Believe me, most teachers/professors are looking for every opportunity to give you marks - and they don't watch you come into class the next day thinking "there's Joe, boy was that a dim-witted answer to number 5". We've seen it all, brilliantly good and incredibly bad. If you're not convinced, consider which will look worse 4 out of ten, or zero out of 10. If we look down on anybody, it's those who hand in nothing. You're not going to get negative marks for writing down something wrong, nor will marks be deducted from another question. The worst a bad answer will give you is zero. So, your choice is a worst case of zero versus a guaranteed zero on the question --- what to do should be a no-brainer. Consider a couple of scenarios:
   1) Jeff gets 5 out of 10 questions completely correct and puts nothing down for the other 5 -- 50%, D minus.
   2) Kim gets 5 out of 10 questions completely correct and puts down few equations she thinks are applicable, a couple of free-body diagrams, and some notes about how she thinks she should proceed - much of which is wrong, but some of which is right... 60%, C minus (correlation between percentage and grade varies).

   Run some scenarios of your own, figuring that you might get 1 or 2 marks out of 10 for going beyond what you are sure of and writing in some stuff that you think shows some correct understanding of how to tackle the problem. Your 6 out of 10 on a question could become a 7 or 8 if you go out on a limb on the part you don't know. You will probably find differences like D becomes C, or B+ becomes A-.

2. Make a crib sheet: perhaps you're even allowed a crib sheet. If so, don't just copy your friend's to save time. If your professor provides one, make your own even though you won't take it to the exam. The magic of a crib sheet is not that it helps you with equations you couldn't remember, it is that making it forces you to organize the course material in your mind. By the time you've made your own crib sheet you probably won't need to look at it.

   Some of my graduate courses would spend around 50 pages spanning several lectures to derive a single result. I would look at this stuff and think there was no way I could learn the details of the derivation, but then I would make the crib sheet. Typically I could get the entire term's material down to about 30 pages on the first pass. I would chop, organize, paraphrase, until I had about 30 pages that would suffice for notes if it was all I was allowed to bring to the exam. On the next pass I might condense this down to 10 pages, then to 3 then to 1. By the time I had gone over the course layout enough that I had a single page which I thought would get me started sufficiently to do everything else if asked... I didn't even need that sheet any more.

3. Come in rested: this is easier said than done, but a Physics exam requires being sharp. The odds are that if you are up late the night before cramming, the extra information you cram in will be more than offset by the sluggish pace you answer the questions due to being over tired. Get a good night's sleep, and the day of the exam get into a good frame of mind: listen to music, go jogging, pray... whatever helps you become mentally set.
4. Practice Solving Problems: the vast majority of most Physics exams consists of problem solving. You need to be good and fast at solving the type of problems you will be asked. Doing all of your assigned questions during the term should be the bare minimum you consider - redo them when preparing for the exam. Do any supplemental questions given, look for other questions of the same type in your text. Get another text from the library and use the questions from the same sections (most introductory Physics textbooks are laid out pretty much the same). If it helps, try my page Practice Physics Problems. On the left you may see an ad for books with titles like "3000 Solved Physics Problems" (the ads are random, so it may require some reloading if you wish to see these ones). Books like this can be very helpful Remember to do lots of these three things: practice, practice and practice.
5. Learn to Recognize Problem Types: when you do an assignment you typically get a question from a section of the book - so you flip to that section to check out the equations and examples. On an exam, you have to figure out for yourself whether a ball hitting the ground problem is: collision, gravity, trajectory, energy conservation... or a mixture of these. In fact, it is the temptation to mix problem types on an exam that I think accidentally makes many exams more difficult than intended. After a student uses energy conservation to find how fast a ball hits the ground, why not get them to do an inelastic collision to find how fast it rebounds and then do a trivial 1D trajectory to figure out how long it will be til it bounces again? This train is easy to follow if you are practiced at figuring out for yourself what type of problem you are dealing with, and recognize that in multistep problems the type can keep changing. To look for examples in your text, this is often what gets labeled as the challenge problems - they are a challenge because you need to go beyond what you could immediately find in the same chapter.
6. Take the Time to Write in the Units: "Dimensional Analysis" is one of the easiest and yet most powerful tools for checking your work. Far too many Physics Exams only have units written on the final answer. Consider the trivial example of finding the speed of a car which travels 10000 cm in 5 seconds. Your work should read something like:
   v = 10000 cm/ 5 s =2000 cm/s
   then, assuming you are expected to give the answer in m/s, your next line would be a unit conversion:
   v = 2000 cm/s * 0.01 m/cm = 20 m/s

   Notice that writing in the units will make it less likely that you make the mistake of missing the cm -> m unit conversion that needs to be done. If you have the formula wrong you would also discover that... if you get s/m it means you put each number in the wrong part of the ratio. If you get m²/s it means you got an exponent wrong. Practice writing units in all you calculations when you do assignments and it will become effortless quickly. It will then guard you against many needlessly lost marks on exams.

National Defence Academy Examination

1. Announcement of the Results of the Written Examination, Interview of qualified candidates, announcement of final results and admission to the training courses of the finally qualified candidates: The Union Public Service Commission shall prepare a list of candidates who obtain the minimum qualifying marks in the written examination as fixed by the Commission in their discretion.

Such candidates shall appear before a Services Selection Board for intelligence and Personality Test where candidates for the Army/Navy wings of the NDA and 10+2 Executive branch of Naval Academy will be assessed on officers potentiality and those for the Air Force in Pilot Aptitude Test and for officers potentiality.

Two Stage Selection Procedure:

Two stage selection procedure based on Psychological Aptitude Test and Intelligence Test has been introduced at Selection Centres/Air Force Selection Boards. All the candidates will be put to stage one test on first day of reporting at Selection Centres/Air Force Selection Boards.Only those candidates who qualify at stage one will be admitted to the second stage/remaining tests. Those candidates who qualify stage II will be required to submit the original Certificates along with one photocopy each of :

1. original Matriculation pass certificate or equivalent in support of date of birth;
2. Original 10+2 pass certificate or equivalent in support of educational qualification.

Candidates who appear before the Services Selection Board and undergo the test there will do so at their own risk and will not be entitled to claim any compensation or other relief from Government in respect of any injury which they may sustain in the course of or as a result of any of the tests given to them at the Services Selection Board whether due to the negligence of any person or otherwise. Parents or guardians of the candidates will be required to sign a certificate to this effect.

To be acceptable, candidates for the Army/Navy and Naval Academy should secure the minimum qualifying marks separately in

(i) Written examination and

(ii) Officer potentiality test, as fixed by the Commission in their discretion, and candidates for the Air Force should secure the minimum qualifying marks separately in

1. Written examination
2. Officer potentiality test, and
3. Pilot Aptitude Test as fixed by the Commission in their discretion.

Subject to these conditions the qualified candidates will then be placed in the final order of merit on the basis of total marks secured by them in the Written examination, and the Services Selection Board Tests in three separate lists-one for the Army and the Navy, the second one for the Air Force and the third for the Course at the Naval Academy. The names of candidates who qualify for all the Services of NDA and the Naval Academy will appear in all the three Merit Lists.

The final selection for admission to the Army and Naval Wings of the National Defence Academy will be made in order of merit upto the number of vacancies available from the merit list for the Army and Naval Wings, for the Air Force Wing from the merit list for the Air Force; and for the Executive Branch of Naval Academy upto the number of vacancies available from the merit list for the Naval Academy, subject to medical fitness and suitability in all other respects. The candidates who are common to all the three merit lists will be considered for selection from all the three lists with reference to their order of preferences and in the event of their final selection from one list, names will be cancelled from the other lists.

Note: Every candidate for the Air Force is given Pilot Aptitude Test only once. The Grade secured by him at the first test will there-fore hold good for every subsequent interview he has with the Air Force Selection Board. A candidate who fails in the first Pilot Aptitude Test cannot apply for admission to the National Defence Academy Examination for the Air Force wing or General Duties (Pilot) Branch or Naval Air Arm.

Candidates who have been given the Pilot Aptitude Test for any previous N.D.A. course should submit their application for this examination for the Air Force Wing only if they have been notified as having qualified in the Pilot Aptitude Test.

The form and manner of communication of the result of the examination to individual candidates shall be decided by the Commission at their discretion and the Commission will not enter into correspondence with them regarding the result.

Success in the examination confers no right of admission to the Academy. A candidate must satisfy the appointing authority that he is suitable in all respects for admission to the Academy.

2. Disqualification for Admission to the Training Course:

Candidates who were admitted to an earlier course at the National Defence Academy or to the Executive Branch of Naval Academy but were removed therefrom for lack of officer-like qualities or on disciplinary grounds will not be admitted to the Aca-demy.

Candidates who were previously withdrawn from the National Defence Academy or Naval Academy on medical grounds or left the above Academy voluntarily are however, eligible for admission to the Academy provided they satisfy the medical and other prescribed conditions.
