Smart tips to follow SBI Clerk 2025 Study Plan

During the preparation, you also need to remember how to prepare each subject or section in the SBI Clerk 2025 syllabus. What things do you need to do to ensure that you can cover those topics well and tackle related questions during the exam.

  • The Numerical Ability section of the SBI Clerk Prelim is all about speed and accuracy. You get 35 questions in just 20 minutes, which means you cannot afford to waste time on lengthy problems. The smart way to prepare is to divide the syllabus into two parts: Speed Maths and Concept-based topics. Start your practice with Speed Maths – Simplification, Approximation, Number Series, and Quadratic Equations – as these are high-scoring and less time-consuming. Once you are comfortable, move to Data Interpretation and Arithmetic chapters like Percentage, Profit & Loss, Time & Work, and Ratio. In the exam, always attempt easy questions first to build confidence and save time for tougher ones. Regular mock tests are essential; they help you learn time management, identify mistakes, and improve accuracy. Revise formulas, note down shortcuts, and reattempt wrong questions. Consistency in practice is the key to scoring 25+ in this section.
  • The English section of the SBI Clerk exam often feels tricky, but with the right approach, it can become one of the most scoring areas. You will get 30 questions in 20 minutes, so both speed and accuracy matter. The key is to strengthen three pillars—reading, grammar, and vocabulary. Start by reading newspaper editorials daily; this will help you in Reading Comprehension and also improve your vocabulary. Write down at least 10 new words every day with their synonyms and antonyms. For grammar, revise rules of tenses, subject-verb agreement, articles, and prepositions, and practice Error Detection and Sentence Improvement regularly. Topics like RC, Cloze Test, Fillers, Word Swap, and Error Detection should be your first priority as they carry the highest weightage every year. Take sectional tests, analyze mistakes, and work on weak areas. Consistent reading, daily practice, and regular revision will easily help you score 25+ in this section.
  • In the prelims, the Reasoning Ability section has 35 questions for 35 marks. With smart practice, scoring 30+ is possible. The key is to focus on accuracy, time management, and practicing the right topics. If we look at previous years’ papers, topics like Puzzles and Seating Arrangements carry the highest weightage, often 15–25 marks. Other important topics include Syllogism, Inequality, Coding-Decoding, Blood Relation, Direction Sense, and Alphanumeric Series. Start your preparation with puzzles, then cover the quick-scoring topics like syllogism and inequality. The best way to improve is to give mock tests regularly. Start with one full mock to know your level, then move to topic-wise and sectional tests. Analyze your mistakes after every test and work on weak areas. If you stay consistent with mocks, reasoning practice, and daily revision, scoring well in this section will become much easier.
