At first, I would like to introduce you to the Touchstone test of TCS generated by TCS
employees and IIT students; This is the aptitude test which you have to clear first. It
consists of more than 2 lakhs questions on mainly quantitative aptitude. Don’t be
frightened because of it's sheer volume; actually it consists of only 300 around questions
with interchanged data. Touchstone test is a computer based test and it asks you to
complete 35 questions within 60 minutes. Again, I am saying that it is a very very easy
test to clear, try to follow my rules. A 3 to 4 day preparation is enough.

3 day preparation strategy 4 touchstone test :

Rule 1: Prepare yourself on the following topics; Just brush up your basics: ages,
percentages, ratio and proportion, numbers, time and distance, sequence, time and
work, probability, permutation and combination & blood relation. {Here probability and
per/com is optional because it carries only 3-4 questions on it.}

Rule 2: Go through the previous papers in fresherworld of this test. I have also giving
you some relevant questions which appeared in our test.

Rule 3: Try to solve the questions by yourself; don't memorize them because data will
be changed.

Rule 4: Try to just interchange the data of the questions and solve them faster and
faster. The Time Management is a important skill often tested in aptitude test. So by
practicing the questions given below try to develop speed and accuracy.

Rule 5: Speed reading is a important part of this test as all the questions do have some
irrelevant data. So in these 3 days of preparation, try to find the relevant data from the
question and read very fast.

Tricks for aptitude test:

1) You will be asked to answer 35 questions in 60 minutes. At the beginning, don’t even
think to answer all questions.

2) Just go through all the 35 questions and solve the easy ones. Every paper consists of
minimum 15-17 easy questions and rest of them moderately difficult.

3) Try to answer the easy ones 15-16 questions out of 35 within 45 mins and also write
the individual number of moderately easy ones or mark them [that u think can do within
3-4 mins ] in the scratch paper.

4) Last 12-15 mins of the exam, try to solve the marked ones, atleast of 5 them.

5) The difference between you and others will lay answering marked ones, so try to
solve the easy 15-16 as fast as you can. [Caution: you try to believe that u can acquire
100% accuracy in easy questions; so complete the easy questions of entire range
question number 1 to 35 within 40-45 mins.]

5) So after the time is completed, you will find urself answering 22-24 questions without
any rigorous preparation. Those who r a bit slower in calculations can also clear this test
by my plan. And cut off, as I already mentioned, lies below 20 around 18-19.
6) Last but not the least, don't try to mark the questions you are not absolutely sure; as
the paper consists of negative marking, you will not be able to meet the cutoff.

Some examples of touchstone test:

1. Which is the smallest no divides 2880 and gives a perfect square?

a.1 b.2 c.5 d.6
Ans: c

2. Two bowls are taken, one contains water and another contains tea. Equal amount .
one spoon of water from 1st is added to second bowl and mixed well, and a spoon of
mixture is taken from second bowl and added to the 1st bowl. Which statement will hold
good for the above?

Thought process :

Water bowl tea bowl

100 100

90w (+10w= spoon vol) 100tea+10water

90w+ (10*10/11)tea+ 10/11 w 100t- (10*10/11) t

+ 10w- 10/11w

(1st bowl’s water vol is equal to 2nd bowls tea volume)

3. Form 8 digit numbers from by using 1, 2,3,4,5 with repetition is allowed and must be

kind of problem. Because it is simple:
A3-b3 / a2+ab+b2
Ans is : a-b here 785-235= 550 thats it.

6. In school there are some bicycles and 4 wheeler wagons. One Tuesday there are 190
wheels in the campus. How many bicycles are there?
Ans: 15

Thought process : b*2+w*4=190 i.e. , b+2w=95 now see u ca not solve 2 unknowns
fron 1 eqation, so just plot options here to get the right answer and verify if you are
getting integers as vales of B and W.

7. There are two persons paul and Jay .Paul lies on Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday and the
remaining days he speaks truth.Jay lies on Thursday,Friday,Saturday and the remaining
Days he speaks truth. once they meet each other, in their conversation Paul says that
yesterday is the day one among those I lie. Jay also says that yesterday I also lie. what
is that day?

a) Sunday. b) Tuesday. c) Thursday. d) Wednesday

[Thought process: Now this day cannot be Sunday because in Monday paul speaks truth
and Sunday everyone tells truth. So it must be weekdays. Again, Tuesday can not
possible because Monday and Tuesday paul speaks truth. In case of thrus day, paul
speaks lie and Wednesday he speaks true. And joy speaks truth in thrusday and he
speak lies in Wednesday. So, thrusday is the answer.

8. A father has 7 penny’s with him and 1 water melon is for 1p, 2chickoos for 1p, 3
