Tips to clear IBM
- Number-series and pattern games — speed matters.
- English test checks reading and listening.
- Coding typically one medium-level question.
Exam rules
- Sections run one after another with their own timer. You cannot go back to a finished section.
- When a section's time runs out it is submitted automatically.
- To clear, score at least 60% in every section (our practice guideline, not the company's official cut-off).
- No negative marking — attempt everything.
- Coding rounds open each problem in a new tab; tick it once all its test cases pass.
