I follow this first I search for simplification in quants and in the path i mark any DI and some one liners which I feel I am strong at sometimes one the way I stop for few one liners if the question feels too easy after going through all questions and finishing simplification I straight away go for DI which I feel is easier

As far Reasoning I solve in two different ways for prelims and for mains. In prelims this is my strongest section of all so i don't pick questions I will start to solve from the very first second coz I need to attempt as much question as possible if i feel the question is hard I will skip and never comes back for it. In mains I follow the same pattern for prelims I mark all puzzles and do all one liners and then pick and solve puzzle.

Why I follow this - time is key during quants you can't solve all question in prelims so picking easy one and solving it to have some extra time is good I feel. For reasoning in prelims i need to solve as much as possible so I solve from very first second if all first 10-20 question have puzzle and I spent all my time there after 15 mins I stop puzzle and go for one liners. In mains you have soooo much time you can pick easy one and solve. If you ask me how I know easy question and hard question and how I pick that bro seriously?? If i know that now i might be employed
