Section-wise Preparation Strategy

English Section Preparation Strategy

For English section in banking exams reading is the key I never crammed those grammar rules , in prelims only 20 minutes are there by the time you will remember those grammar rules the time will be over. So for English section read newspaper , books .

Overall Strategy, Study Schedule & Challenges Faced

There was no such thing as strategy in my case I just kept faith in myself and I never followed any study schedule because it’s difficult to follow it. The main hurdle during preparation of competitive exam is the pressure not from outside but from your inside that what would happen if you fail again, what will society think about you etc. To overcome these things I stopped paying heed to other people and for inside I used to talk to my friends who were also preparing along side me to keep my nerves under control.
