What is the best 4-month study plan for IBPS PO?

When you have 4 months, break them into weekly targets. Your goal should be to finish the syllabus in 10–12 weeks, and then spend the rest of the time on mock tests, revisions, and weak areas.

Here’s a suggested breakdown:

  • Weeks 1–2: Basics of Quant (Simplification, Number Series, Average, Ratio)
  • Weeks 3–4: Reasoning (Inequality, Syllogism, Blood Relation, Coding-Decoding)
  • Weeks 5–6: Arithmetic topics (Profit & Loss, SI & CI, Time & Work)
  • Weeks 7–8: Puzzles and Seating Arrangement (daily practice)
  • Weeks 9–10: English Language (RCs, Cloze Test, Error Detection)
  • Weeks 11–12: Current Affairs, Banking Awareness, Computer Basics
  • Last Month: Full-length mocks, analysis, and revision

How should I manage my time daily?

Time management is the backbone of exam success. You should ideally study for 5–6 hours a day, divided like this:

  • Quant – 2 hours
  • Reasoning – 1.5 hours
  • English – 1 hour
  • Mock Test/Quiz – 1.5 hours

Always keep one day a week for revision and mock test analysis. Identify your weak areas and work on them. Time spent on analysis is just as important as time spent studying.

How can I improve speed and accuracy?
