ATMA Syllabus:

The Test contains Questions on three abilities of skills:

• Analytical Skills
• Quantitative Skills
• Verbal Skills

Analytical Skills

The Questions on Analytical Skills examine the logical thinking abilities of a candidate. Do remember that a particular Question is less important than the reasoning task you are asked to perform. No specialized knowledge of any particular field is required for answering the questions, and no knowledge of the terminology and conventions of formal logic is presumed.

In the Questions on Analytical Skills you need to analyse the situations on which each Questions is based and then select the answer choice that is most appropriate response to the question.

Each set of Question or group of Questions is based on a passage or set of conditions. In answering some of the Questions, it may be useful to draw a rough diagram: For each Question, select the best answer from the choices given, Darken the corresponding oval in the answer sheet.

Quantitative Skills

For each of the Questions in Quantitative Skills, select the correct or the best of the answer choices numbered (1), (2), (3) and (4) and darken the oval corresponding to your choice in the answer sheet.

Number: All numbers are real numbers
Figures: Position of points, angles, regions, etc., can be assumed to positive.
Lines drawn as straight can be assumed to be straight.

Figures that accompany questions are intended to provide information useful in answering the questions. However, unless it is stated a specific figure is not drawn to scale; the diagrams and figures are drawn as accurately as possible, you should solve these problems NOT by estimating sizes by sight or by measurement, but using your knowledge of mathematics.

Verbal Skills

The questions on verbal skills test your recognition of correct grammatical usage, vocabulary, and familiarities with words, your understanding and comprehension of the language (English) while reading and your ability to write clearly and briefly.
