Exam, a lot depends over your preparation level. Also, it depends over the IQ
of the aspirant. If someone has already prepared for MBA exam, it will take him
hardly a couple of months to prepare for the bank exam. A person who is
starting afresh will need about 4-5 months to prepare for the bank exam.
Aspirants having good grasp over English and having a good vocabulary stand
good chance to clear the exam.
Cracking the bank exam is a combination of
a lot of elements such as your speed, accuracy, practice etc. The students
should give mock tests to analyze their areas of weakness and start working
over them. An aspirant must know his stronger and the weaker areas.
Tips for different sections of a Bank PO exam
There are essentially four sections ad each
of it requires proper study.
1. General Awareness Section
In this section you have to keep yourself
updated over the latest happening occurring across the nation as well as
internationally. The best way to qualify for this section is to study newspaper
everyday and make notes from that.
2. Mathematics
The mathematics is just which you have learnt
in school. But the trick is that you should know how to solve the question in
the shortest time possible. Explore internet for some good short tricks. If you
are well acquainted with vedic maths then you have already pavered your way
towards success. Try to solve the problems mentally without requiring pen and
paper. This is the best way to study and revise.
3. English
Vocabulary plays a very important role in
this section. You need to be either best or at least average in this section.
Poor vocabulary may hinder your dream of becoming a bank officer.
4. Reasoning
Reasoning Book, be it verbal or non-verbal
doesn’t requires much time to solve. But you can only solve the reasoning
question if you have a good practice. Series and sequences are the most
important ones. Just solve previous year question papers to get a vivid idea
over this.
Do you have it in you?
So, let’s discuss what are the ideal
qualities which should be possessed by any IBPS aspirant? The aspirant should
have a quick hold over his speed. He/she should be able to calculate much
faster. The aspirant should be read newspaper regularly to improve his vocab as
well as keep his knowledge base updated.
Maths and Reasoning section can be qualified by practice but if you are weak in
English and current affairs then your dream may be shattered.
In which order should you attempt the paper?
There are essentially two approaches for
this.
First, you can start with the section in
which you are the strongest. This way you will be motivated and feel good while
attempting the paper. This will increase your chances of qualifying the exam.
But what if the section you are good at is having difficult questions. You will
spend all your time there.
So, for that we have a second approach. On
receiving the question paper, just give 5 minutes for reading the paper and
start with the section which you feel has the easy questions. This way you will
save time and would be able to complete the paper on time.
As such there are no cut off marks for any
section and they are calculated on an aggregate basis. Even the students with
Hindi background can give the exam as the question paper is available in both
Hindi and English language. But that does not means that he/she will be getting
any relaxation in English section. He/she has to struggle to clear the exam.
