A case study on Planning & Importance of Mathematical Tricks in Competitive Exams in India: The Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

While preparing for a competitive exam it is common to feel panicked about the mathematical section which is a complex one to crack. For all competitive exams time is the most important factor to achieve the targets. The main purpose of adding the category of Quantitative Aptitude to a competitive exam is to test ability to solve basic mathematical problems logically. For this, a good grasp of quantitative concepts with sufficient practice is needed.

Mathematical Tricks, tips and shortcut plays a very important role in every competitive exam. These quick shortcut tricks help the students to solve math & reasoning problems easily, quickly and efficiently in competitive exams. Most importantly, this also improve techniques and skills to solve mathematical problems in less time. In fact, these mathematical tricks for competitive exams can be mastered not just for exam purposes but also to become efficient in solving problems. Imagine how mathematics would be easy and interesting when we have the ability to calculate the problems in a matter of seconds using some mathematical tricks. There are different kinds of arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, squaring, roots, powers, logarithms, divisions, etc. In this paper we have discussed some of the best tricks, which will help students to perform arithmetic calculations easily. In this paper, we elaborate some tricks to solve long square root series in seconds that generally ask in competitive exams. Also discussed some tricks of fast calculation of multiplication, square and division tricks
