## Daily reasoning routine for bank exams

### The routine

- **Daily puzzle: 5 minutes.** Solve the day's fresh puzzle — an arrangement board or an exam MCQ, the format rotates daily — without pausing the timer.
- **Review: 5 minutes.** Check the solution and write the clue that unlocked the puzzle.
- **Topic rotation: 10 minutes.** Rotate through syllogism, inequality, [ranking](https://deducepuzzles.com/reasoning/order-and-ranking), blood relations, [coding](https://deducepuzzles.com/reasoning/coding-decoding), classification, data sufficiency and number series.
- **Mock rhythm: weekly.** Add sectional or full mocks so your daily skill survives exam pressure.

### Weekly topic rotation

| Monday | Seating/floor arrangement + mistake review |
| --- | --- |
| Tuesday | Syllogism or inequality |
| Wednesday | Row/circular arrangement |
| Thursday | Ranking, direction or blood relations |
| Friday | Coding, classification or number series |
| Weekend | Sectional mock + slow review of wrong answers |

### How Deduce fits into the routine

Deduce is designed as the daily habit: fresh puzzle, five-minute pressure, streak, leaderboard and server-checked answers. Keep using broader resources for theory, previous papers and full mock-test stamina.

### FAQ

#### Should beginners start with timed puzzles?

The daily's clock always runs (it's server-side), so beginners should simply not worry about their time for the first few days — focus on accuracy, then start chasing the clock. Bank-exam reasoning is partly a speed skill.

#### What should I review after solving?

Do not just read the answer. Identify the first anchor clue, the wrong assumption you made, and the moment the final case was eliminated.

#### Can I skip reasoning on busy days?

Even one five-minute puzzle keeps the habit alive. Consistency is the point of a daily routine.
