Key IBPS PO Exam Time Management Tips:
One of the smartest ways to push your score in the last few days is by taking our Rank Booster Mock Tests & full-length mock test.

Here, we provide step-by-step instructions to follow over the last 10 days. If you follow this strategy, you can maximise your score in the preliminary exam:
Now is the time to shift your strategy from learning to performance. Start your day with a full-length mock test in exam-like conditions. This helps condition your brain to focus for 60 minutes straight. Evaluate your speed, accuracy, and attempt rate after each test. Try to maintain 90%+ accuracy with consistent speed.
Instead of going through the entire syllabus, revise most scoring topics like Simplification, Number Series, Puzzles, and Cloze Tests through topic-wise quizzes and sectional tests. Choose 3–4 high-weightage topics daily and solve their questions in a timed manner.
After solving mini mock tests and sectional tests, you can understand which section is weakening you. If you are consistently performing poorly in one section, focus more on it in the next few days. During this time, aim to improve your weak section score by at least 5-7 marks. Do not ignore your strong sections.
The Quantitative Aptitude section can be time-consuming if you don’t revise your formulas and shortcuts. Take 30 minutes daily to understand the important formulas & tricks and try to solve 10-15 small quantitative questions daily using those shortcuts. This will help you increase your speed and avoid calculation traps.
In these last 10 days, remember – discipline, time-bound practice, and smart revision will take you across the line. Don’t overload yourself with new concepts. Stick to a revision schedule, take 1-2 mock tests daily, and analyse them properly.
