Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 17-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

FAQs about PU MET 2022 Verbal Ability & Reasoning Previous Year Questions with Detailed Solutions

What is an analogy question in reasoning?
An analogy question gives a pair of related words and asks you to find a word that has the same relationship with a third word. The relationship may be synonym, antonym, part and whole, or subject and its study.
How to solve circular seating arrangement questions?
Start with the clue that fixes a position most definitely and build the arrangement around it. Remember that when people face the centre, their right is anticlockwise and their left is clockwise.
What is coding-decoding in reasoning?
Coding-decoding questions encode words or phrases using a rule, such as shifting letters or replacing words with digits. You find the rule from the given examples and apply it to a new word.
What is ornithology?
Ornithology is the scientific study of birds. The study of animals in general is called zoology.
