The 8-day strategy that we are sharing with you today is fully capable of helping you accomplish this goal. The tests and resources included with it also complement this, which will boost your confidence level and help you maximize your Phase 1 score.

RBI Grade B Phase 1 2025: Complete 8-Day Revision Blueprint

Without further ado, let’s start discussing the day-wise revision strategy, with the best resources, to save hours of guesswork and make sure your preparation is fully focused and completely result-oriented.

Day 1: Full-Length Mock Test & Analysis (11th October 2025)

It’s recommended to start your last week with a full-length RBI Grade B Phase 1 mock test. And, while doing so, recreate the real exam environment strictly, switch off distractions, time yourself, and attempt the paper like the real exam. 

After completing the test, look back at your mistakes and learns from them carefully. Revise all the important topics and look for the topics where you still make mistakes, be it in Quants, Reasoning, English, or GA, and work on them.

For GA, revise current affairs of the last 5 to 6 months, using Bazooka and PIB Sutra. These resources smartly cover all the important RBI updates, government schemes, and major economic news. A 30 to 40-minute session daily will definitely keep your General Awareness fresh.

Day 2: Quant & Reasoning Topic Focus (12th October 2025)

Dedicate this day fully to the topics that are of most scoring in Quants and Reasoning.

• Quantitative Aptitude: Revise formulas, DI types, and shortcut tricks, and practice 2 to 3 topic tests that focus on Data Interpretation and Miscellaneous DI questions.
• Reasoning: Revise syllogism, inequality, seating arrangement, and puzzles. Solve 2–3 focused topic tests to strengthen speed and accuracy.

For English, revise grammar rules and commonly tested error types. Keep GA light, just a quick skim through Bazooka or Vishleshan analysis.

Day 3: Mock Test 2 & GA Consolidation (13th October 2025)

Take another full-length mock test, but this time, focus on timing and section-wise strategy. Forget perfection, and focus on correct answers and smart attempts.

After the test, revise GA rigorously, paying attention to RBI circulars, economic indicators, and government schemes. Even 40–50 minutes can make a huge difference.

Practice switching quickly between sections. Attempt 10 to 15 questions from your weak areas in Quants and Reasoning to prevent repeating mistakes.

Day 4: English Topic Tests & RC Practice (14th October 2025)

On day 4, you should pay attention to the mastery of English language:

• Reading Comprehension (RC): Solve at least 2 to 3 topic tests for Reading Comprehension.
• Cloze Test & Parajumbles: Revise grammar rules and practice targeted questions.
• Vocabulary & Errors: Quickly revise word lists, idioms, and commonly asked error types.

Spend 30 minutes on GA, focusing on schemes and updates that are often repeated in RBI exams. Evening time can be dedicated to mock test analysis and checking where you lost marks and why.

Day 5: Weak Area Correction & Mini Quizzes (15th October 2025)

This is your correction day. Don’t attempt anything new. Focus entirely on topics and questions you struggled with in previous mock tests.

• Attempt mini quizzes in Quants and Reasoning for speed.
• Revise formulas, high-weightage chapters, and General Awareness.
• Revisit PracticeMock PDFs and focus on shortcuts, areas that are prone to mistakes, and hard questions.

This day is about targeting weaknesses and not exploring new topics.

Day 6: Time Management & Sectional Strategy (16th October 2025)

The focus today is on the exam strategy that you’ll embrace. RBI Grade B Phase 1 has sectional timing, so you must know how to attempt questions efficiently.

• Decide the order of sections, many aspirants start with Quant or Reasoning, then move to English, leaving GA for the last 30–40 minutes.
• Take 1 to 2 mock tests and topic tests to refine your timing.
• GA revision should continue, but limit it to 30 minutes; focus on highly repeated topics, PIB updates, and important RBI schemes.

By evening, prepare your exam day logistics, check your admit card, ID proof, stationery, and exam center route.

Day 7: Light Revision & Mental Preparation (17th October 2025)

Today should be light and calming. Avoid heavy study.

• Revise quick formulas in Quant, important reasoning puzzles, and schemes of General Awareness.
• Skim through 500 questions to refresh current affairs.
• Mentally rehearse the exam strategy: section order, time allocation, and handling tricky questions.

Sleep early and eat light. Hydrate properly. Your mental clarity and composure on exam day will matter more than last-minute cramming.

Day 8: Exam Day Strategy (18th October 2025)

On the day of the exam:

• Reach the center early. Keep your admit card, ID, and stationery ready.
• Read instructions carefully before starting.
• Start with the section that builds your confidence, usually Quant or Reasoning.
• Stay calm and positive. Don’t dwell on questions you can’t answer. Move on and return if time permits.

Don’t forget, it is your mindset that can elevate or ruin your performance. So, you must answer every question with full alertness and unwavering composure. And one more thing, avoid discussing the paper after participating in the exam, as it can act as confidence-shattering, and save your energy for Phase 2 exam preparation.
