Alphabetical Series is an important topic in the Reasoning section of the RBI Assistant exam. Questions from this topic test your understanding of the English alphabet sequence, logical arrangement of letters, and pattern recognition skills. These questions are usually easy to moderate in difficulty but require strong attention to detail and speed.
Alphabetical series questions are also commonly asked in IBPS Clerk and SBI Clerk exams. Regular practice helps improve accuracy and saves time in the exam.
