Expert Preparation Tips
Practise typing daily to reach and maintain 35+ wpm to have a comfortable margin over the 30 wpm requirement.
Focus on English grammar and vocabulary since English is a key differentiator in both CBT and typing test performance.
Cover standard RRB reasoning topics: coding-decoding, blood relations, direction sense, series, and analogies.
This exam is comparatively easier than higher-grade railway exams — consistency and speed are the keys to scoring high.
