Shubham Saurabh’s Success Story

Hello friends, I started preparing for the competitive exams in 2018, At first, I was preparing for SSC CGL but due to delayed examinations and untimely results, I shifted my preparation from CGL to the banking Examinations in 2019. The whole preparation journey was a bumpy ride for me as I was average in Quant, GA, and English although I struggled to solve the reasoning section at first especially puzzles, but by constant practice, I started doing good in puzzles. And after clearing my 1st prelims I gained confidence, And finally, I cleared RRB PO 2020.

I have appeared in many exams including SBI PO, IBPS PO, RBI assistant, and IBPS clerk. I failed in IBPS PO mains, IBPS clerk mains, and RBI assistant Pre, I scored 24/50 in the SBI PO interview, and hence due to low marks in the interview I was not able to sail through.

Section-wise Preparation Strategy

English Section Preparation Strategy

English section was always been a tricky part for me because of the poor accuracy. I used to score around 15/30 in mocks, Then after I started reading newspaper editorials, At first It was difficult to contemplate the paragraphs, So I started watching youtube videos on Editorial in Hindi, and after watching the video I immediately read the same Paragraphs and also I made a separate dairy for news words.

Tip: (1) Learn a word by synonyms and antonyms, Meaning: Learn a word daily and remember all the synonyms and antonyms of the word.

Tip: (2) Read As much as you can especially newspaper editorials.

Quantitative Aptitude Section Preparation Strategy

For the quant section, I memorized tables up to 20 by heart, And then I worked on my calculations. After speeding up a bit in calculations, I cleared my basics of each topic and then I solved questions from the mock test and PDFs. I used to solve the mini mocks and topic quizzes from practicemock daily.

Reasoning Section Preparation Strategy

The reasoning section was difficult for me among all the Sections because of puzzles. I wasn’t able to crack a single puzzle in a mock test in a given time, so I always attempted miscellaneous! But to clear prelims you must master puzzles, So, I started with a very basic level of puzzles And I made a target of 15-20 Puzzles in a day. And after all that, I used to give 1 mock to test my speed.

General Awareness Section Preparation Strategy

GA section was a game-changer, I read GA from affairs cloud and Bazooka PDF of PracticeMock! I gave quizzes of PracticeMock for CA and BA! You can get the 100 most important questions of CA per week in the practicemock.

Overall Strategy, Study Schedule & Challenges Faced

My strategy was to score more in GA and English and average marks in other sections. I followed a study schedule by targets/topics and not by hours, I used to write daily topics and the number of questions I have to solve on that day before going to sleep. I also pointed out my weak areas and worked hard on them.

The puzzles were the main hurdle for me and also I faced a little difficulty in solving the RC section. But by doing daily puzzles of similar level and reading, I became good in these areas.

How did PracticeMock help you?

PracticeMock was very helpful in my preparation journey. I used to give mocks on different platforms but after some time I felt that only 1 platform is enough. The level of questions in mocks was almost equal to the actual exam. One thing is certain that for prelims you can attempt any mock but for the mains question only a few platforms are there and PracticeMock is one of them. The GA quizzes were also very helpful as by attempting daily quizzes I remembered the important news of the week, So, I genuinely recommend PM for Banking preparation.
