Oracle IAS analysis and tips for general aptitude for UKPCS:

Paper 7 consists of General Aptitude and Ethics. The weightage of General Aptitude is 120/200 i.e. 60% of Paper 7.
General Aptitude could be the most scoring part if prepared well. Aspirants can score as high as 110/120.
Many students with Math/Engineering background tend to take this section lightly. Though the questions seem easy at first sight, but since if an aspirant is out of practice, he/she might not be able to complete the whole paper within time frame.
Since marks are allotted for each step, aspirants should make it a habit to not apply shortcuts.
As per our analysis, an aspirant should try to complete the General Aptitude part within 90 min and allocate the remaining time for the Ethics section. General aptitude for ukpsc
