Most of the Govt jobs & entrance exams have this section. Some entrance exams [eg IIIT] have this as preliminary. I need some tips / books / sites / articles to improve my skills.

I have this book Quantitative Aptitude by R S Aggarwal & I find this book highly boring. Any other good books ?

and also what are some chapters/concepts one must NOT miss studying ? [like profit & loss, time & work etc]

Thank you !

Take online IQ tests from various sites. Don't worry about your score. Work out every question not minding time.

For a book, try MENSA's books. They are standard and try not to be boring.

Best advice: Take a stroll in the nearby library.
