      Suggestions for improving Verbal Ability:

      1. Increase your vocabulary.( http://www.vocabulary.com)
      2. Try to go through the Basic Grammar Books like Wren & Martin and read basic topics like tenses, subject-verb agreement etc.
      3. For Solving the Reading comprehension and Paragraph Jumbles, you need to have knowledge of different areas.

      Practice as much as you can. It will take some time to improve the verbal ability section.

    Can I expect call from Accenture or any other MNC? I heard they consider overall score/percentile. Is it true?
    And also is my overall percentile 80+? Acc. to some sites Q 30 + R 70 + V 95= 80+(overall percentile). Please ElitmusZone Post Author reply.

    2. Can you tell me the marking pattern of eLitmus, as it is written above that the marks distribution is in the multiple of 10 and that of negative marks is in the multiple of 5, But in the comparison with the percentiles, the marks are written in decimals. how can marks come in decimals, Is that a scaled score for each section?

    I did’t have 60% throughout my career. I have completed MCA on 2016. If i secure marks in elitmus test between 120 to 140 can i, get any call from MNC companies like: Accenture, Cognizant, Wipro Technologies Limited, Infosys Technologies Ltd, Sonata Software Ltd, Tech Mahindra, ITC Infotech India Ltd., Trigent Software Ltd or any other MNC companies. They will consider my elitmus score or my qualification marks. Please clarify.
    Thank You
    With regards.
