7 Tips to Ace the Quantitative Aptitude Section of LIC AAO Prelims

Memorize the squares, square roots, cubes and cube roots of numbers up to 30. This comes really handy in questions on number series, simplification and approximation.
Be ready for surprises (if any): be it in the form of change in the format of the question paper or a question you haven’t encountered before. Any surprise will be for all the aspirants. So don’t get anxious and try to find out what the question is trying to ask. Keep taking Mock Tests as they incorporate new types of questions on a regular basis to make you ready for any surprise.
Be an expert in approximating while calculating. While it obviously helps in questions on simplification and approximation, it sometimes helps you in questions on data interpretation as well.
The concepts of percentages, averages & ratios should be crystal clear in your mind. Ideally, you need not pick a pen to solve most of the questions on these topics. Very often, these concepts are tested in questions on data interpretation.
Assess the question’s difficulty level before you start solving it and don’t take more than 15-20 seconds for this purpose. Also, don’t take any questions on your ego. If while solving, you get an idea that the question may take substantial time, skip it and move to the next question.
There isn’t any negative marking in this exam, so don’t leave any questions unanswered.
Finally, keep evaluating your performance via Mock Tests. There isn’t any substitute for practicing and Mock Tests are one of the best tools for practice.
