What is the Non-Technical Segment? The Non-Technical section tests your aptitude, reasoning, English language skills, and general awareness. It forms a significant portion of the AAI ATC exam and can be a game-changer if prepared well. This segment generally includes: 1. General English
A strong grasp of English is vital for communication and comprehension. Our modules cover Parts of Speech: This fundamental aspect of grammar categorizes words based on their function within a sentence. Understanding nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections is crucial for constructing grammatically correct and meaningful sentences. Each part of speech plays a distinct role in conveying information and establishing relationships between words. Articles: These are a type of adjective (a, an, the) that precede nouns to indicate whether the noun is specific or general. 'The' is the definite article, pointing to a particular noun, while 'a' and 'an' are indefinite articles, referring to any member of a noun group. Correct usage of articles is essential for clarity and precision in writing. Error Detection: This skill involves identifying grammatical, spelling, punctuation, and stylistic mistakes within a given text. Strong error detection abilities are vital for proofreading and editing, ensuring written communication is accurate and professional. It requires a thorough understanding of grammar rules and common writing errors. Sentence Correction: Building upon error detection, sentence correction focuses on rectifying identified errors to produce grammatically sound and well-structured sentences. This may involve changing word order, verb tense, subject-verb agreement, pronoun references, and other elements to improve clarity and correctness. One Word Substitution: This tests vocabulary and the ability to express a phrase or a clause using a single word. It requires knowledge of synonyms and the precise meaning of words to condense information effectively. This skill is valuable for concise and impactful writing. Sentence Rearrangement: Also known as paragraph jumbles or scrambled sentences, this section assesses the ability to organize sentences to form a coherent and meaningful paragraph logically. It requires understanding the flow of ideas, identifying topic sentences, and recognizing connecting words and phrases. Odd One Out: This tests the ability to identify a word or phrase that does not belong to a given group based on a specific relationship or category (e.g., semantic, grammatical). It requires analytical and reasoning skills to discern the underlying pattern and identify the outlier. Idioms and Phrases: These are expressions whose meaning cannot be derived from the literal meanings of the individual words. Understanding common idioms and phrases is essential for comprehending and using natural-sounding English. They add color and nuance to language. Synonyms and Antonyms: Synonyms are words with similar meanings, while antonyms are words with opposite meanings. A strong vocabulary includes a wide range of synonyms and antonyms, enabling varied and precise word choice in writing and speaking. Voice (Active/Passive): This grammatical feature indicates whether the subject of a sentence is performing the action (active voice) or is being acted upon (passive voice). Understanding and using active and passive voice correctly is essential for conveying the intended emphasis and clarity. Narration (Direct/Indirect): This relates to reporting what someone has said. Direct narration quotes the speaker's exact words within quotation marks, while indirect narration reports the speech in the narrator's own words, often involving changes in tense and pronouns. Spelling Correction: This focuses on identifying and correcting misspelled words. Accurate spelling is crucial for clear and credible written communication. This skill requires knowledge of spelling rules and common spelling errors. Tenses: Tenses indicate the time of an action or state of being (e.g., past, present, future). Understanding and correctly using different verb tenses is fundamental for conveying the correct temporal relationships in sentences and narratives. Reading Comprehension: This assesses the ability to understand and interpret written text. It involves reading a passage and answering questions that test comprehension of main ideas, supporting details, inferences, vocabulary in context, and the author's purpose. This is a critical skill for academic and professional success. 2. General Reasoning Sharpen your logical and analytical thinking with topics such as: Alphanumeric Series & Number System: This section delves into problems involving sequences of letters and numbers, requiring identification of patterns and the ability to predict subsequent elements. It also covers a comprehensive understanding of different types of number systems, their properties, and interconversions. Blood Relations: These questions test the ability to analyze family relationships presented in various forms, such as direct statements, coded relationships, or diagrammatic representations. Solving them requires careful deduction and systematic mapping of the given information to determine the relationship between specific individuals. Coding-Decoding: This segment focuses on deciphering coded messages or patterns. It involves understanding the logic behind the coding rule applied to letters, numbers, or words and then applying the same rule to decode a given message or encode a new one. Different types of coding schemes, including substitution, rearrangement, and positional value-based coding, are explored. Distance & Direction: These problems involve determining the distance between points and the direction of movement or final position based on a series of movements. They often require visualizing spatial relationships and applying basic concepts of geometry and trigonometry. A diagrammatic representation is often helpful in solving these questions. Order and Ranking: This section deals with questions related to the relative positions or ranks of individuals or objects within a given arrangement based on certain criteria like height, weight, marks, or time. It involves comparing and ordering the given elements based on the provided information to determine the specific rank or position of a particular element. Seating Arrangement & Puzzles: These questions present scenarios involving the arrangement of individuals or objects around a table (circular, linear, or polygonal) or in other configurations, often with a set of conditions or constraints. Solving these puzzles requires logical deduction, systematic arrangement, and careful consideration of all the given conditions to arrive at the correct seating arrangement or solution. Syllogism: This topic involves logical reasoning based on given statements (premises) to derive valid conclusions. It tests the ability to analyze the relationship between different categories or groups based on the provided statements and determine whether a given conclusion logically follows from those statements. Venn diagrams are often used as a tool to visualize and solve syllogism-based problems. Mathematical Operations: This section includes problems that involve substituting mathematical symbols for given words or letters and then solving the resulting mathematical expressions according to the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS). It tests the ability to perform basic arithmetic operations and follow a given set of rules for substitution. Approximations: These questions require estimating the approximate value of complex numerical expressions without performing exact calculations. They test the ability to round off numbers, simplify expressions, and make reasonable estimations to arrive at an answer that is close to the exact value. Statement and Conclusions: Similar to syllogisms, this section presents a statement or a set of statements followed by several conclusions. The task is to determine which of the given conclusions logically follow from the given statement(s). It tests the ability to analyze the given information and make valid inferences. Miscellaneous Logical Reasoning: This broad category encompasses various types of logical reasoning questions that do not fall neatly into the above categories. These can include problems based on logical sequences, odd one out, analogy, and other forms of deductive and inductive reasoning, testing overall logical thinking and problem-solving abilities. 3.
