English has been a strong section for me so I used to just read the Hindu or financial express to brush up.

Quantitative Aptitude Section Preparation Strategy

I used to practice mains level questions from different sources as the mains paper level is very tough and unpredictable. So to be prepared for that, I worked on my basic concepts and made them strong.

Reasoning Section Preparation Strategy

It was one of my favorite sections and constant practice, solving new types of questions made me score almost full marks in prelims and I got decent score in mains too.

General Awareness Section Preparation Strategy

I used to rely on news paper + at least 3 to 4 current affairs sources and because of that I attempted 36/40 in GA.

Overall Strategy, Study Schedule & Challenges Faced

My strategy was to find my weakness and work on them. I used to follow a proper schedule of studying by giving appropriate time for all the sections and made a strong hold on them. Yes, I could not clear my final cutoff of sbi PO 2019 by .10 marks but I didn’t feel bad about it, instead that made me stronger and here I am selected as PO in Bank of Maharashtra today.

How did PracticeMock help you?

For prelims exam, practice mock helped me in shaping a safe score with good percentile. PM helped me for the worst case scenario by having standard mock papers which helped me in gaining accuracy.
