IBPS PO Quantitative Aptitude Revision Plan 2025, Check Tips to Score well

Hardly 15 days are left for IBPS PO Prelims Exam. This is such a crucial time for students as they have to manage all the subjects, and mostly what makes an average student a topper is how they use these last 10-15 days. The toppers use it very wisely, and they value every minute of their time during these last few days, whereas an average candidate usually gets stuck in giving random mocks from different websites, and ultimately, they get confused, and on the exam day, they often feel underconfident due to the lack of structure in their preparation. In this blog, we are going to discuss the last few days’ IBPS PO Quantitative Aptitude Revision plan. So that you can structure your preparation well and get exam-ready.

Why Quantitative Aptitude is Crucial in IBPS PO 2025

Quantitative Aptitude is a section that can make you in the cut-off list, and it is one of those sections that students often leave because of the difficulty and time consuming they have. But it is not so if you have followed a proper time table, then it is very much possible to master quants and hence make it to the cut-off list. One more thing is that you don’t have to focus on solving 28-30 questions; instead of focusing on getting 35/35. Although sectional cut-off is important but you have to focus on getting overall high score and the number of questions that we have mentioned are quite enough to satisfy both the scenarios.

Toppers’ Secret Sauce for Quant (What They Don’t Say on YouTube)

In this section, we are going to give some tips that toppers don’t discuss on YouTube videos, but follow them rigorously.

Do not chase 35/35

Usually, the top scorers focus on getting 28-30 questions correct. They do not run after getting 35 out of 35 correct answers. They just focus on getting a certain number of questions correct.

Solve DI as a Puzzle

DI questions are meant to test a candidate’s ability to interpret the data and analyse it thoroughly so that he/she can answer the questions accordingly. What toppers do is they write what is being asked in the questions, and then focus on the DI data, i.e., given in the question. This technique not only saves time but also helps in getting the correct answers, as now you get a clear direction in which you have to interpret the data.

Revise formulas like a ritual

Yes, this may sound cliché, but you need to revise formulas like a ritual, as you do your daily tasks; add this one into that list, too. Another way is by practicing questions as much as possible. One major thing that you can focus on is whenever you do any calculation, try to write the formulas first, except while giving mocks. 

Note Down your Mistakes Daily

Try to note down your mistakes, why in the first place you commit them, is it because of a lack of knowledge, practice, or what? Try to make a different section in Google Sheets to note down your mistakes, and before giving any mock test, just go through those performance sheets. So that you may avoid committing it on further mocks. 

Resources to be used for Revision

The resources that need to be used for revision are your own handwritten notes, especially formulas or tricks, and mock tests, along with detailed solutions, so that you can further analyse your performance.
