How to prepare for Technical Test?

The 'Technical Test/Portion' of placement exams assesses your academic learning and knowledge. Generally, IT companies and core companies include technical questions in their written tests. In these tests, the focus is on quizzing the students on his core subject knowledge and assess the amount of academic effort he has put in during his graduation. In general, the questions asked focus on the basics of core subjects and check your conceptual clarity. The best way to prepare for the technical tests is to review your subjects well and have a grasp of the fundamentals. At times, technical papers pose questions such as constructing a diagram, writing a shortcode/program, or solving some equations. For computer science students, you should revise flowchart techniques and acquire computer software literacy and the appropriate computer language training. The syllabus of the technical tests for companies varies according to the company domains and requirements.
