How to Score Well in the Visual Reasoning Section

The MAH-CET exam has approximately 25 - 30 questions of visual reasoning. Visual reasoning, which has a rare appearance in the other entrance exams at present, forms a significant proportion of this exam. As a total of around 15% questions of the total test are from this area, practicing these questions is very important. There is no negative marking. The difficulty level of questions in this category is from easy to moderate. But considering that you would not have practiced question like this before, you may consider it to be moderate to difficult. The questions coming in visual reasoning are of different types. As the familiarity level of students is less with visual reasoning questions, let's define the various types along with some actual MAH- CET questions.
