Sample test paper.
AMDOCS PAPER ON
20th AUGUST 2006 AT DELHI
Hi folks the paper
was a mix of toughness, time constraint and easy questions.
To summarize it,
it contained of two main sections:
1.The
Aptitude section
2.The
Technical section
People told me
that there is sectional cut off of 60% in each of the two sections:
Now talking about
the sub sections of the paper:
The
Aptitude part consisted of 4 subsections.
The
Technical part also consisted of 4 subsections.
Now ellaborating
the paper, first it is a long brain and computer adaptation exercise, of
nearly four hours.
Aptitude
Section:
Ist
Section: 18Qs in Logical Reasoning and Data
Interpretation questions in 30 mins.
This is a easy
section u can easily do it, there is enough amount of time.
IInd
Section: 16Qs in Quantitative Ability in
25 minutes, again a simple section
IIIrd
Section: 25 Qs. in 20 minutes it is about
pattern matching.
IVth
Section: 60 Qs. in 6 minutes, there is
negative marking, here u get a question which has some text and u have
to select the same text among the 4 options.
speed is tested
here in this fourth section, but a person can attempt about 30 to 40
questions depending on his/her speed.
NOTE:
All the above sections are explained with good examples before u start
the test so be cool and patient and read these options with ease and u
can crack this section.
Techincal
Section:
This section also
has four subsections as follows:
Ist
Section: This section is the Amdocs pseudo language
section, be cool the name is the only scary part in this section nothing
else, remaining is easy with a lot of time, u get 60 minutes
in this section for 25 questions, but before u start off this section it
is advisable to read the booklet that is given along with this section
before starting this section, i had forgotten to do this but i believe
still managed to get all questions right, it is basically a section of
algorithm.
IInd
Section:This section tests u on SQL queries,
some are very simple some are tough, u get 20 minutes
in this section, ample time to solve all questions.
IIIrd
Section:This is a section on UNIX language,
basically on different types of commands and some theoretical concepts,
it also has 20 minutes.
IVth
Section: This section is a choice betwee any one
of the languages which is your favourite among the four given languages
C/C++/Java/Cobol. This is also a section of 20
minutes.
NOTE:
All the technical subsections have a lot of time for them to be solved
easily within the time limit, provided u know them.
And in case there
is only sectional cut offs then it is advisable to try to score the
fullest or maximum in the first section(Amdocs pseudo language)
Important:
Mind u, u
can take time off between sub sections of the main sections also so
relax in between as well to keep ur efficiency...
In all the test is
very long, it will take near to 4 hours to complete the full test, only
advice is not to rush through the sections quicly as only once u click
on the button next will the section start, so take some time off between
sections get refreshed and then concentrate with full vigour in the
sections.
All the
best.....Amit Ganguli.
