ASRB Topic Wise Analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To crack the exam, you need to know the types of questions asked. How exactly are the questions phrased around the topics that form the syllabus? How are the questions framed? These questions regarding the exam can be answered with its topic-wise analysis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know the importance of topic wise analysis, we will take you through the ASRB topic wise analysis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be four sections in the exam: Section A – General Awareness, Section B – General Intelligence and Reasoning Ability, Section C – Arithmetical and Numerical Ability, and Section D – Language Comprehension (Hindi\/ English). Each section comprises 50 questions, making a total of 200 questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All questions are compulsory, and each question will carry one mark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Section-Wise Analysis Along With Topic-Wise Analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Section A: <\/strong>The source from which you can cover the syllabus for section A of the ASRB exam is Lucent\u2019s general knowledge book. In section A of the exam, the questions asked are static type, i.e., questions are directly based on facts. For example, some of the questions asked in section A in the 2014 paper were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. Which of the following metals is the lightest? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Mercury <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Silver <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Lithium <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Lead <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    With this question, we get an idea that, for the ASRB exam, applicants should be completely familiar with the periodic table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Q. Ligament joins<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Two muscles <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Two bones<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Muscles with bones<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Muscles with cartilage<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      From this question, too, we can see the nature of the question is static. This question is from biology, and it is a direct question. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Thus, we can say that for section A, candidates should read Lucent and focus on static questions, especially topics of science subjects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Section B: <\/strong>This section will check the candidate\u2019s general intelligence and reasoning ability. Candidates should try to attempt all 50 questions from this section as the difficulty level is very low. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You can see questions based on both verbal and non-verbal reasoning in this section. Topics from which the questions will be framed are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
