Thanks Team….
You are doing a great work as it is…..
But some things that i would like to suggest are….
1) Monthly threads have become important…..because question do get repeated…..so you could also create something like that on this forum
2) And please do post answers for each question, may not be immediately but at least after a few discussions….
3) I have seen that not many people participate in daily discussions……..so to motivate people to take part in this one thing that can be done is to ensure that the answers will be available to only those people who make an effort to at least try to answer that question and post their reply…
I wish this group all the success!

some questions that i remember are:

antonym: untenable,assuage,amalgamate,disavow,askew,puckish,exhortation,furtively,recession
analogy: abase: prestige;vocabulary:word,Listen::Eavesdrop

some maths questions are:
1) there are i/3 coins which are gold and 2/3 coins are old ones.
col A
how many are old and gold coins
col b
1/3
2)got an even -odd question…..like x is even…….3y is odd……then which of the following are odd?
3) got a simple venn diagram question…
4)got a few exponent questions…….84 ^ 21………u had to break it as (7*12)^21…and then solve
5) if sum of 3 interior angle of a pentagon is 270, then the sum of the rest of the two angle is???
6)if n>1
col a: (n!)^2
col b:(2n!)
7)a line with slope -1/2 was given.two points (3,y) &(1,2) line on the same line.wt is the value of y?its easy 2 find ad value of y.but the points i mentioned hare r not exact,but the pattern was same.
8)from 1 to 1000……no. of multiples of 5 and no. of multiples of 7
9)remainder question: when x is divided by 2 it leaves a remainder of something……….when it is divided by 7 it leaves remainder something
so when xy is divided by something what remainder does it leave?
i had to check 2-3 cases bcoz i got 2 values for remainder so the answer was ‘d’….
10)got one question on mixture…
11)got one question on cylinder……diameter was given, ht was given, volume of water added was given in cc……and height of water was asked?
a tank in cylindrical shape with inside radii being 10metres and height also 10metres…….it is filled with 175,000 lites of water………what is the height of water in the tank(1000 litres=1 cubic litre)
12)got a question on standard deviation n median
13)got corordinate geometry of slope n co-ordinates
14)DI was more or less simple pi chart,table n bar graph…..not difficult to interpret
15)there are -7 to +3 integers………mak product u can get?
16)a line was given and it made 44 degree angle with negative y-axis in the 3rd quadrant…….a point on the line was given as p(x,y)……we had to compare between x and y?
17)if from jan 1 1990 to jan 1 1995 i.e. in 5 yrs the population increased by 15% and from jan1 1990 to jan 1 2000 i.e. in the period of 10yrs the population increased by 30%
col a: the population increase from jan 1 1995 to jan 1 2000
colb : 15%

i myself got 600 in vocab so i wont b the right person to suggest you….for vocabs main thing is words….i did barrons n bible words….and tried to remember as many new words as i encountered during my preparation….do go through threads for words that have come in the past….test givers mostly lose their marks in RCs so work on that.

For Quant, i found barrons and nova quite helpful…..apart from that you need to practice by giving sample tests

For both sections you would need to identify your weak areas and work on them
Good Luck!
