• Wednesday: Simplification + Quadratic Equations
  
• Thursday-Friday: DI Practice + Number Series
  
• Saturday-Sunday: Full Mock + Error Analysis

Whether Prelims or Mains, DI is very important. Practice DI sets daily, start with bar graphs and pie charts, then move to mixed and caselets. For Mains, you can add ratio-based and arithmetic-based DI.

Master:

• Tables up to 30
  
• Squares up to 50
  
• Cubes up to 20
  
• Vedic maths shortcuts for multiplication, addition, and division

Attempt 2–3 full-length sectional mocks per week, then analyze:

• Where did you spend more time
  
• Which questions did you get wrong
  
• Which topics did you skip?
  

6. Don’t Skip Arithmetic

Many students skip arithmetic, thinking it’s time-consuming. But in SBI PO, especially Mains, arithmetic forms the base of even DI sets. Make sure you’ve practiced every type from this category.
