My advice to future test takers is that for clearing this Satyam test one should avoid making guesses, shud do all familiar and easy questions first. Avoid making any wild guesses, infact i (now) think that one should not guess at all when there is negative marking.
I feel extremely sad that i could not clear this test even after a lot of preperation (of Quant mainly thru R.S. Aggarwal, puzzles) and hard work. My fault lay in choosing the wrong questions, getting stuck for 7mins on first Question, Guessing(so called educated guesses) upto four answers I did 10 qs in all, 5 or 6 were surely right, rest i have no idea. But I will never give up. I will keep trying. . . Whoknows MAYBE one day i will get my first job in a decent software organisation.
