To boost their preparation in the Reasoning Ability section, candidates must adopt a strategic approach to boost their speed, accuracy, and conceptual clarity. Given below are the detailed strategies for SBI PO 2025:

Know the syllabus and weightage:

• Candidates know the detailed syllabus along with the most scoring topics such as puzzles, seating arrangement, syllogisms, and input-output.
• Prioritise topics based on your strengths and weaknesses. For example, if puzzles are challenging, give them more time.

Analyse previous years’ papers:

Candidates solve the 2019 to 2024 paper and know the patterns and question types, and difficulty level of the SBI PO prelims and mains exam.

Master shortcuts and techniques:

• Learn shortcuts for syllogisms (Venn diagrams), inequalities (symbol decoding) and coding-decoding (pattern recognition).
• Reduce solving time by using visualisation techniques for puzzles and seating arrangements.

Take regular mock tests:

Solve mock tests to know their preparation level and analyse your performance to identify weak areas in each topic and section.

Daily Revision:

• Maintain daily notes for important concepts, formulas, and shortcuts (e.g., coding-decoding patterns, syllogism rules).
• Revise high-weightage topics weekly to boost your preparation level.

Focus on accuracy:

• Avoid guessing because of negative marking (0.25 marks for every wrong answer).
• Practice eliminating wrong options in syllogisms, inequalities, and logical reasoning questions.

Develop time management skills:

• Solve easy topics (inequality, blood relations, series) first to score quickly.
• Allow more time for puzzles and seating arrangements, as they carry more weightage.
