What the practice set contains
| Section | Questions |
|---|---|
| Quantitative Aptitude | 16 |
| Logical Reasoning | 14 |
| Verbal Ability | 16 |
| Programming Logic | 10 |
Quantitative questions cover percentages, profit and loss, interest, averages, ratios, time and work, speed and distance, number properties and probability. Programming Logic asks you to trace pseudo-code and C-style loops and predict the output, which is a common part of fresher tests at service companies.
Important: Uncodemy is not connected with Cognizant. These are original practice questions written to build the skills such tests check, not real test papers. Companies change their hiring tests and vendors often, so confirm the current process on Cognizant's careers site or with your placement cell.
Scoring and an example
Every question carries one mark and there's no negative marking in this set. Suppose you get 12 aptitude, 10 reasoning, 13 verbal and 6 programming questions right: that's 41 out of 56, about 73%. The result shows each section separately because many companies apply section-wise cut-offs. A weak section matters even if the total looks fine.
In the Cognizant GenC practice set, aptitude questions are generated with new numbers on every attempt, so you can't memorise answers, only methods. Enter the test code from your result to retake the identical set.
How to prepare
- Learn shortcut methods for percentages and ratios; they come up inside many other question types.
- For pseudo-code, write the loop variables on paper for the first two iterations, then look for the pattern.
- Read the full question in verbal ability; many wrong answers come from missing "not" or "except".
Frequently asked questions
Is this the actual GenC test?
No. It's original practice by Uncodemy. Cognizant's test format can change each hiring season.
Does it include coding problems?
It includes code-reading questions. For writing code, practise in an editor too.
Can I take it on my phone?
Yes. It works on a phone screen; a laptop is closer to the real test conditions.
Is the Cognizant GenC practice test free?
Yes. Every question of the Cognizant GenC practice test is open with no sign-up. The first time you submit, we ask for your name and WhatsApp number once so we can show your score; after that it, and every other Uncodemy tool, opens straight away.
