There will be a total of 100 multiple-choice questions. One-third marks will be deducted for the wrong answers. Much like the previous years, the exam would be difficult, judging candidates on their analytical and technical skill. However, some experts believe that to fill the large gap in human resource and meet the large vacancies, the questions might just come slightly easier.

Regardless of such speculation, if you want to crack the exam, spend an equal amount of time in all 4 sections: (i) Mathematics, (ii) General Intelligence and Reasoning, (iii) General Science, and (iv) General Awareness and Current Affairs.

Before entering the examination, glance over the entire syllabus once. Be quick in exam, but avoid being careless. Don’t spend too much time on questions that you cannot answer. Leave them for the last few minutes. Avoid doing any guesswork. You don’t want any negative marking. For questions that you have no clue about, leave them alone.

And most importantly, whatever time you are left with right now, spend all your energy in the previous year papers. Don’t just try to answer them—understand them.

These are few basic tips on how to crack Railway Recruitment Board examination and what to expect on the exam day.
