As you know we have earlier elaborated a well detailed study plan for NICL AO 2015. Still we are giving some 11th hour insights.
Objective:
Reasoning: The most troublesome problems in the reasoning portion has been syllogisms, seating arrangements and coding-decoding in some cases. So what you need to do, you need to mainly focus on syllogisms. Why? Because syllogisms can be time consuming and very very tricky at times. Practice a lot of syllogisms with 3-4 conclusions and try to solve them a little more faster than you usually do. Also do practice seating arrangements and coding-decoding. Input-Output can easily be done and we have described how to solve the input output problems fast. Reasoning can be very scoring if you imply your logic in it.
Quantitative Aptitude: The most common review we get about Quantitative Aptitude is lengthy. So we always recommend to practice them and try to do it fast. Time management is the key to success. So practice some lengthy Data Interpretation quizzes as well as profit & loss and percentage sums.
General Awareness: General awareness will consist current affairs questions which you can easily do because of the availability of them. Budget 2015-16 will be one of the most important component of this section. There is a huge chance of questions from Census 2011 and Geographical GK questions.
A specific Magazine for General Awareness will be provided on 25th of March, 2015.
English Language: English language has been a matter of concern for many. Practice a lot of cloze tests, error corrections and increase your vocabulary. English can be very low scoring if you are unaware of many questions so only ANSWER When you KNOW the Answer Correctly.
Descriptive
