Section-wise Preparation Strategy

“I am an English medium student so I never struggled in it. Everytime I score 25 or above 25+. I used to practise adda quiz for English and mocks from practice mock

For Quants I used to practise word problems and quantity problems and DI quiz for mains ..Also from practice mock
mains mock test and I used to take note of the question and the solution too. And I revise it before exam.Apart from this I followed YouTube channel of oliveboard and current affairs funds for Quants and reasoning.

For reasoning I followed few YouTube channels like virtuous , KS educational hub,oliveboard . Then I used to solve quizzes from affairs cloud mains from 2017. And repeatedly I solve quizzes from practice mock and mains mock too

For general awareness I study daily gk affairs from bankers adds and I revise what I studied just by studying mcq from various site. Aspirants zone , affairs cloud, practice mock, oliveboard YouTube”

Study Schedule and Strategy

“I don’t have any study schedule cuz I never stick with my schedule. So I just decide what I want to learn and how much time I have to spend. I used to spend two hours for every section and extra one hour for static and banking GK related to daily GK.

I am not among the one who study late at night. I wake up at 4 a.m. and sleep by 10 p.m. (9 p.m. before exams), which helped me feel the day is longer and more productive.

I used to take mains mock tests on Monday and Thursday. After attempting a mock, I immediately worked on corrections for GK and English the same day. For the next two days, I spent around three hours daily analyzing the mock, as attempting alone is not enough—proper analysis is important to improve.

I focused on doing what suited me instead of following others blindly. I prepared for both prelims and mains together by practicing quizzes daily for each section. Before prelims, I dedicated a few days to section-wise revision.

I also believed in staying relaxed during exams, attempting maximum questions with accuracy, and maintaining a positive mindset throughout the preparation.”

Role of PracticeMock

“I started clearing exams only after using practice mock only. 90% of the time for mains I just learned from Mock test alone. When I started using it I lost exams by few marks alone. So last year I believed yes I will clear for sure this time and the best part is affordable price. Thank you so much”
