How to pass Dragnet Exam

Dragnet has been one of the leading companies coordinating exams and to be sincere their exams are tricky that only few persons pass.

In this post GEEJAY will be giving us some hint on how to pass their Exams without much stress.

 Go get their verbal reasoning (also dragnet's), train yourself on how to extract information from a very short passage without necessarily having to read through the passage.

The way i do it is simple:

(1) i read the question first.

(2) pick the key word in the question.

(3) quickly search for the keyword in the passage.

(4) read the sentence that contains the key word. Try to understand the sentence at one reading.

Look, after writing the tests, i could not narrate any story in any of the passages. That proved to me that i wasn't really reading the passages.

On the numerical,

(1) quickly study the chart(s). Identifying the title, x-axis and y-axis (this is very important). If you do not do this, you will always be confused on which chart to use, or the information the chart is giving. Trust me this will waste a lot of your time. The moment you are familiar with the charts, no question related to the chart will take you up to 15 seconds to tackle.

(2) read the question and identify which chart to use. If the chart is already specified for you, go to the next step.

(3) note (in your mind) what is required. Mind you, hardly will you see a staight-forward question. You will need to know how to use your percentage very well and very fast, utilising all short cuts available to you. For example, if an item is reduced by 5% and you are asked to get the current value, you don't have to be doing all the plus and minus there. Just multiply original value by 95%; if it was increased by 5%, multiply original by 105%.

- know multiples of 2, 5 and 10 very well, such that you can handle them without calculator.

- if you are asked to bring calculator, used a good scientific calculator.

- if they provide ordinary (simple) calculator for you (not scientific) minimise rate of using it because it waste so much time. Your head works faster than simple calculator, believe me.

- if it is online and you are asked to use calculator inside the pc; you have got a leverage. This is the best calculator i have ever used, especially if the os is windows 7. Just open the calculator and convert it to sciencific, and check 'history' (click on 'view menu'>'scientific', click on 'edit menu'>'history'). Do not close the calculator until you finish the entire test. This will help you to go back to previous calculations and still use them or view their answers.

(4) answer the less verbose questions first. It takes time to even read the questions; therefore, avoid read and jump. Any question that is more than three lines shoud be jump and be tackled later.

(5) learn how to combine two information coming from two different charts. Most of the questions are designed in that form.

Goodluck!!
