In series completion questions some sequence may be given and three or four components of that particular series will be shown. We need to complete or find the next component or missing component. From the components given we need to crack the logic behind the series. For eg 2, 4, 6, this series is given. We need to know how 4 is obtained from 2 and how 6 is obtained from 4 likewise. We need to identify the logic behind the series. Some series may have connection in alternate terms. For e.g. 4, 3, 8, 6, 12, 9… in this series alternate terms are connected.

There is no set rule or set pattern for this type of question. The logic and sequence we need to identify using our common sense and reasoning ability. The series completion may include alphabet series, letter series, number series etc. the alphabet series may be in regular order like skipping each number of alphabets from between alphabets.

Topper’s view

One day before the exam, revise the course.
During the exam, try section A first Q1 carry one mark each and those in Q2 carry two marks each.
Manage the time well during the exam.
In the hall one should not get panicky upon receiving the question paper.Candidate should stay cool before the test, so that they do not get confused while attempting the paper. Time management is important but not at the cost of answering the paper accurately.
Do not try to get hold of the entire syllabus prescribed for GATE .A selective preparation would be a very helpful concept and should be learned accurately.Memorization of any problem without a clear idea of the concept will be futile exercise.

It is better to have flexible time plan before going to exam and have a balance of mind. It helps in avoiding silly mistakes.
