RRB Station Master Skills Covered
The course trains the skills the CBT test directly. CBAT classes are also available. Each one maps to a marked section of the exam.
- Basic science and mathematics: Number system, percentages, algebra, geometry, basic physics and electricity. This section carries 30 marks.
- Data analysis and interpretation: Reading tables and charts and solving data sufficiency questions. It also carries 30 marks, so it is worth as much as science and maths.
- Logical reasoning: Syllogisms, blood relations, puzzles, clocks and calendars, solved with fast methods.
- Reading comprehension: Understanding English passages and answering accurately under time pressure.
- Mental reasoning: Analogies, series, coding-decoding and ranking. This is 20 marks and rewards speed.
- Aptitude test readiness (CBAT): Memory, attention and decision-making practice for the computer-based aptitude test.
- Time and negative-mark management: A 120-minute strategy for choosing which questions to attempt, since each wrong answer costs one-third of a mark.
- Railway job awareness: What a Station Master does, the A-2 medical standard and the document verification steps.
