ATMA is one of the exams that all students should try. The syllabus is: Language Comprehension Quantitative Techniques and Data Interpretation Logical Reasoning General Awareness These are the major questions which will be asked for ATMA. ATMA is completely online exam. The exam is divided in 4 sections with 25 MCQs in each section. Total questions are 100. All questions will carry equal marks in ATMA. Each correct answer will be awarded 4 marks and there will be negative marking of 1 mark for each incorrect answer. So I suggest you to try and attend mock test as much as possible. Some of the tips which I suggest you to clear the exam are as follows: 1. Select one of the best coaching centers which offer quality education- TIME is one of the famous coaching centers for CAT, ATMA and XAT. 2. Dedication- Be focused on the aim which you need to achieve. 3. Try to read Hindu newspaper editorial. Most of the passages which appear in ATMA are from Hindu editorial. 4. Try to do a maximum number of online mock tests. You will definitely clear ATMA by doing the above. 5. Try to read as much as you can and make note of points. 6. Revision of each week topics is very important. 7. Mathematical ability questions will be little-twisted try to do as faster as you can. These are my tips for you to crack both ATMA and CAT.

ATMA is generally easier than other competitive exams. I generally would suggest you to focus on Mathematics, English, and data interpretation to score well. It is also found that there are institutes which are listed in the website of ATMA and are eligible to take candidates who had appeared for ATMA exam. Also, since ATMA is easy compared to other competitive exams he/she can easily score with little preparation and effort. If you are weak in mathematics, then General Knowledge is the hit point which can help you score well.

There are a number of exams conducted in India for the MBA type courses. Exams like CAT, XAT, GMAT, MAT, IBSAT, NMAT, SNAP, etc. have some minor tweaking and variations apart from the main sections. Each of these exams has quantitative aptitude, verbal reasoning, logical reasoning and data interpretation, apart from GK or essay writing section in some of the exams. So, you have to prepare accordingly for these exams either by taking coaching classes or correspondence course or by self-preparation or by following recommended books. After you have prepared for the most difficult level questions, you may try to get some question banks for the specific exam you are targeting either offline mode I.e. books on exams or online mode i.e. free question banks websites or paid question banks for practice.
