SCHEDULE:

Now lets start of with the schedule :
DAY 1 : Start off with Puzzles to Puzzle you - Shakuntala Devi and finish as mush as possible.Decide to finish the book and then call the day off. Note down the sums which, you are not able to solve or need the solutions to which you are not able to solve . When you finish reading the the whole book, go back to those questions which you were not able to answer and and try find out the solution to it from the net or from your friends .Dont try to remember the method try to understand it.

DAY 2 : Start Verbal Reasoning - R.S Agarwal .
In this you just have to do the Puzzle Test Chapter fully , and have a look at the Number, Ranking and Sequence Test chapter. It contains fully George Sammers type question on easier scale but you would be able to understand the basic logic of solving George Sammers type questions.Finish off the whole book during the second day.There is just one or two methods to solve these sort of questions and the explanation is very clear .Once you get the method , you can solve al the puzzles in this, but just in case do go through all the puzzles. there have been puzzlesin previous papers from here.Once ou get the method well, there willnot be any revision necessary in this book . But you will have toconcentrate on the method.

DAY 3 : Now back to More Puzzles - Shakuntala Dei and follow the same procedure you followed for the first book.

DAY 4 and DAY 5: Start off with George Sammers book and by solving the puzzles. The first half is easy, but dont be worried if you are not able to solve them. Even if you solve one or two its enough , the rest you just have to use the scheme and the solutions and then understand the puzzle thoroughly. Many papers have similar sums but with the some internal changes. Try to finish the first half in a day and startoff the second half . The second half is relatively tougher, and it will be very confusing.It is enough if you are able to solve some. The second half ,even the solutions will confuse you. So just solve as many as you can. The rest you can make use of the soultions . If they are too complex. Leave them aside. Note down the sums that you couldnt solve or could solve only using the solutions and list them . When you are finish the whole book, just revise all the sums, giving impotance to the ones that you have listed . It is okay even if you sit with George Sammers for three days. But you must be able to undertsand all the question in the first part. The second part ,atleast maybe few sums are optional.

DAY 6 : Take your quantitative Aptitude book by R.S Agarwal and workout the following chapters fully. Note down tough sums .The chapters to be done are :

(1) Time and Distance (very important)

(2) Time and Work

(3) Pipes and Cisterns

(4) Trains

(5) Boats

DAY 7 : Revise Shakuntala Devi book-1 and revise it well. Its not necessary that you have to work out the porblems. Just check if your method is correct . The sums you have listed, give them extra importance. By the end of the day , you should have mastered Shakuntala Devi book.

DAY 8 : Revise the book-2 of Shakuntala Devi , Follow the same steps as that of the day7.End of this day you should have mastered both Shakuntala devibooks .

DAY 9 : Revise George Sammers, such that you can easily solve the whole first part . The second part , leave it , if it is tough.

DAY 10 : Check out Ravi Narula. The sums are tough . It will be enough if just go through the solutions and understand them . Some sums are asked in papers.( There is one questin abt some ANYMAN reaching ANYWHERE. His tyre gets punctured and he reaches late.Ifhis tyre got punctured earlier / later then he would have reached earlier/later. How far did he travel..soemthing like that).that is form this book . Many papers have this sum repeated. Ravi Narula is just optional, but I suggest that you go through all sums and their solution atleast once.Dont take too much time on Ravi Narula. Just three or four hours would be sufficient.
