Let us now see how to prepare for each of these sections.

RRB NTPC Preparation For General Science

The General Science section contains questions from basic science – Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. In order to prepare for this section, brush up the Science textbooks of high school level (Class 9 and 10). You can refer to the NCERT textbooks of the respective subjects for this purpose. Make sure you have a clear understanding of all the concepts and topics. Having a good level of conceptual knowledge of the subjects itself will fetch you good marks. Also, the various formulas, reactions, equations, reactions, and other details should be at your fingertips. Practice questions for every chapter to see how well you have understood and memorized the concepts in that chapter.

RRB NTPC Preparation For General Awareness

Questions in this section are related to the current affairs of national and international importance. Your General Knowledge too is tested here. This section needs one to go through NCERT History, Geography, Civics, and Political Science books. Having knowledge of Indian Laws and Constitution, History (especially, modern and medieval history of India), Polity, Parliament, Economy, Budget (especially Railway Budget), etc. can fetch you a good score in this section.
Apart from these, read newspapers and magazines of current affairs on a daily basis. Focus more on pages related to Business, Economy, Polity, Science and Technology, and Sports.
As this section needs one to remember a lot of information, daily study and revision is a must. Allocate at least an hour daily for this purpose.
Refer to one of the latest Yearbooks from any reputed publication as well. Information about Books and Authors, Countries Capitals and Currencies, Awards, Honours and Recognition, etc. should be at your fingertips.

RRB NTPC Preparation For Reasoning

If you have never prepared for any competitive exam, this section might be new for you. But with proper knowledge of the theories and sufficient practice, you will be able to master each and every topic in this section.
Start off with easy topics like Classification, Number and Alphabet Series, Analogy, Distance and Directions, Blood Relations, etc. These topics need common sense and can be easily mastered. However, the more you practice the faster you will be able to solve questions from them.
Once you feel confident about these topics, move on to more difficult topics, like Syllogism, Statements & Conclusions, Statements & Assumptions, Puzzles, Seating Arrangements, etc. which need one to understand the underlying theory first and then a lot of practice.
Try to understand the steps involved in solving a particular kind of problems instead of trying to learn shortcuts directly. With practice, your problem-solving abilities will improve and you will discover various shortcuts yourself. This will help you in better retention.
Also, cultivate the habit of making diagrams as you practice.

RRB NTPC Preparation For Arithmetic

This section again contains questions of high school-level Mathematics. Most of the topics included here need the application of formulas to solve. However, the calculations might be tricky at times. What you need to master this section is sufficient practice. Also, the theory behind each of the concepts should be understood. Otherwise, you might get confused at times and not be able to identify the concepts tested in a particular question.
Start off with easy chapters like Percentage, Ratios & Proportion, Average, Profit & Loss, Simple & Compound Interest, etc. which are absolutely formula-based. Make sure all the formulas are at your fingertips.
Slowly, move on to difficult topics like Problems on Ages, Boats & Cisterns, Mixtures & Alligations, Time, Distance & Speed, Time & Work, etc. which, along with the application of formulas, need a logical and analytical approach to solve.
Remember that this section is all about practice. Just memorizing the formulas won’t be enough. Here too, you shouldn’t try to learn the tricks or shortcuts directly.
