SBI Clerk Mains 1-Month Study Plan 2025

Start with the subjects you already practiced in Prelims Reasoning, Quant, and English, but now focus on high-level puzzles, DI sets, and comprehension-based questions. Along with these, give special attention to the General Awareness (GA) section, as it can help you score quick and easy marks. If you haven’t started yet, don’t lose hope. There’s still time. Begin with one full-length mock test to check your current level. After that, carefully analyze your mistakes and mark the topics where you are weak. Align these weak areas with your study plan so that you can strengthen them in the coming days.

For GA, start revising current affairs from May to October 2025, with special focus on banking awareness and static GK. If you are a full-time student, give 7–8 hours daily with a balance between all subjects. If you’re a working candidate, split your study into 2 hours in the morning, 2 in the evening, and short revisions during free time. GA is a scoring section because it doesn’t involve lengthy calculations, so use this advantage to maximize your score and cross the overall cutoff.

How to Attempt a Mock Test for SBI Clerk Mains?

Begin your preparation with topic-wise mock tests to sharpen your basics in each subject. Once confident, move on to mini-mocks (covering 2–3 topics together) to improve speed and accuracy. It’s not practical to attempt 2 full-length Mains mocks daily, so focus on 1 mock every 2–3 days. Use the remaining time to solve topic-wise quizzes, mini mocks, and revise weak areas.

But remember, the real benefit of mocks comes from analysis. Check the questions you got wrong, skipped, or spent too much time on. Revise those areas thoroughly. Maintain a separate notebook to note down important formulas, tricky questions, shortcuts, and new concepts. This notebook will become your most powerful revision tool before the exam.

Don’t worry too much about your scores in the beginning. Instead, focus on improving with every test. With consistent practice, revision, and smart planning, your scores will rise, and you’ll enter the SBI Clerk Mains exam with confidence and clarity.
