Amdocs
Amdocs test has 2 sections
Aptitude consist of 4 sections consisted of diagrammatic reasoning n non verbal stuff
Technical test consisted of 4 sections each of pseudocode,c,unix n sql all tests r computer based
In C learn for - Programming (ARRAY,SEARCH,SEQUENCE NUMBERS,PERFECT
NUMBBERS,FIBONOCCI etc),Quries on STRINGS ,MACRO especially
In SQL learn for - Commands that are somewhat internal like COMMIT,
etc..but its easy only
In UNIX learn for - the common features of UNIX console,executing the
commands ,syntax etc.,
The aptitude cum technical test for Amdocs consisted of 7-8 papers. The test is computer based .It takes abt 5-6 hrs. Each paper has a time slot . u can take a break after each test. It's very cool.
The tests were :
Analytical reasoning:simple maths
diagrammatic reasoning: In this, we were given 8 diagrams and had to select the 9th corresponding dg frm the givn choices. U have to be very fast in this test.
problems to be solved using Venn diagrams.
This test was to check our adaptation to the computer screen.We had to solve abt 30 qs in 15 min( I don't remember the timings very well). eg: q#Df684%d
options would be: 1. q#Df634%d 2. q#Df684%d 3. q#df684%D 4. q#Df685%d U have to be very very fast in this also.
In this test we were given a booklet of abt 7-8 pgs in which there was the syntax of some hypothetical lang, ( its syntax was somewhat like Visual Basic). This was very easy since the whole syntax was g iven & u can refer to it.
We were given almost 90-120mins for this test. If u want u can rd the booklet before the start of the test.(As I said, U can start a paticular test whenever u want). The qs consisted of programs for which u have to find the o/p or where there is wrong syntax etc.
C test: Study pointers very well .Visit www.c4swimmers.esmartguy.com that helps you to test the C/C++ programming strengths.
SQL test: It consisted of sql queries mainly inner join, outer join ,group by statements etc.
Unix test: kernel, 1-2 qs on TCP/IP, basic commands ( more on commands).

->> PROGRAMMING SECTION:time
->> PROGRAMMING SECTION:time : 1 hour ( sufficient)
------------------------------ ----------------------------
For this you will be given a booklet of 5-10 pages that contains the basics of Amdocs derived language ...very similar to C... Please read
it carefully before start attempting this section ( there is some problem in the software , so the time get started as u click on this section). So please first read it then start the test , even examples.
There are 5-6 main questions.. they are like algorithm.. you have to understand what to be done in the programme and there are 4-5 sub
questions for each main question. The subquestion are of fill in the blanks type, some are for pedicting the output ect.
->>LANGUAGE TEST : 20 que, 30 minutes
------------------------------ ---------------
In the begening you have to select any programming language like C,C++,Java. I appeared for C and the questions are easy. Time : more
than sufficient.
->> SQL /DATABASE TEST : 20 que: 30 min
------------------------------ --------------------------
Easy one SQL commands, 1 que on views, 1-2 questions are on basic database.
->> UNIX : 20 que, 30 minutes
------------------------------ -------------------
Easy, basic UNIX COMMAND... read yeswant kanitkar book.. starting 5 chepters..
4-5 questins on general things like on protocols,TELNET ect.
->>PATTERN MATCHING SECTION : 60 questions , 6 minutes.
------------------------------ ---------------------------
This is unique,easy and scoring part. But the time is very very less.. u have to be very fast. Generally one can attempt 20-30 que only.....
But this is very important to score good in this section..
example:
for ( ;x + 5*y >800 ; ++i+++)
is similar to
1.for ( ;x - 5*y >800 ; ++i+++)
2.for ( ;x + 5*y >800 ; ++i++)
3.for ( ;x + 5*y >800 ; ++i+++) CORRECT
4.for ( ;x + 5*y >80; ++i+++)
See here all the options are looking similar. You don't need to apply any logic, any calculation... just find the same "pattern" ... its quite hard to attempt in fraction of seconds. Your main consern in this section should be ACCURACY and TIME.
Perhaps there is NO NEGETIVE marking, so before 1 minutes just mark all ( note that there is separate time for each section, so in 6
minutes, this section will go out)
->>APPTITUDE TEST 20 que, 30 minutes
------------------------------ ------------------------------ -----------------
The questions are quite good and need some practice. Time is main concern time and work
age
strems
percentage and ration
profit and loss
->>NON VERBAL REASONING TEST 20 que, 30 minutes
------------------------------ ------------------------------ -----------------
Good questions, little tough, time is concern.
Practice some RS Agrawal book.
questions are like...
- complete the sequence.. and 4 pictures are given in and the 5th one is to be chosen through the given options.
->>VERBAL REASONING TEST 20 que, 30 minutes
------------------------------ ------------------------------ -----------------
There are basically the questions of data sufficiency and questions based on venn digramms... like
All A are B.
Some B are D.
then which is true
....
.....
