Tips to Attempt Reasoning Section

Reasoning Section
This section is your golden goose.
You can score 100 per cent, if you know how to optimise your time. 
How to attempt
If you are good at reasoning, you can allocate 20 to 25 minutes for it -- 35 seconds per question to attempt all the questions.
Focus on your accuracy, as there is negative marking and you will be wasting time if you don't prioritise the right questions.
If reasoning is not one of your strengths, reserve it for the end and allocate no more than 15 minutes to it.
Your main focus should be to clear the cut off.
Types of questions 
You need to identify the easy reasoning questions, so that you can solve them immediately and have high accuracy.
Easy question types include Classification/ Odd pair, Series Completion/ Analogy, Direction based tests/ Direction Sense Test, Number, Ranking and Time Sequence Test and Alphabet test/ Dictionary.
Once you are done with easy questions, you should attempt 'medium difficulty' questions.
Your score depends on your accuracy, practice and comfort level.
Some of the 'medium difficulty' questions include Syllogisms, Inequalities, Blood Relations, Coding Decoding and Data Sufficiency.
If reasoning section is your strong point, you must try and attempt complex and time consuming questions.
Examples of this type are Seating Arrangement, Complex Puzzle, Floor Puzzle and Input Output Machine.
Although the first two types (easy and medium difficulty) are sufficient to clear the section, solving the complex ones will get you a high score in this section.
