But since SSC is too too too slow in its recruitment processes, I decided to switch over to Banking &amp; Insurance Exams and started preparing for the same from the mid of 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which exams did you appear in till date?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>CGL &#8211; 2018 => Only Prelims Cleared <\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/government\/ssc-cgl\/?refcode=3442&amp;utm_source=Success+Story+of+Shekhar+Kumar%7C+Cleared+SBI+Clerk_120122_SSCCGL&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=SSCCGL\">CGL<\/a> &#8211; 2019 => Pre, Mains, Descriptive and CPT cleared.

Quizzes on Adda247 app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Sectional Tests on GradeUp App<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/ibps-po\/?refcode=3442&amp;utm_source=Success+Story+of+Shekhar+Kumar%7C+Cleared+SBI+Clerk_120122_ibpspomains&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=ibpspomains\">IBPS PO Mains 2021 \u2013 Attempt free mock now<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quantitative Aptitude<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Section Preparation Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the arithmetic portion were covered during my intial preparation days when I was enthusiastically preparing for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/government\/ssc-cgl\/?refcode=3442&amp;utm_source=Success+Story+of+Shekhar+Kumar%7C+Cleared+SBI+Clerk_120122_SSCCGL&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=SSCCGL\">CGL<\/a>. So, after switching to Banking sector exams, I focused more on these 5 topics: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Missing Number Series <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Wrong Number Series <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Quadratic Equation <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Simplication <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Approximation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After having command over these topics, I started attempting quizzes on platforms like Adda247, PracticeMock, GradeUp and SmartKeeda. (Yes, all of them). Attempting time bound speed quizzes really helped a lot in improving speed and accuracy. Also, I religiously followed the videos in SBI PO Playlist uploaded by MeritShine on its YouTube channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reasoning<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Section Preparation Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was my most dreaded section. I had zero knowledge in this section. So I searched for contents on YouTube. And I found &#8220;Zero To Hero&#8221; Playlist by Adda247 there. I followed all the reasoning lectures there as it covered topics from the basics and went up to the Mains level questions. After completing a topic I practiced its questions from PDFs. For puzzles I followed Ankush Lamba Sor too. It still takes me 3-4 mins to solve even a prelims puzzle. And its fine with me. One cannot be a pro at everything. So I made other topics my strength. Accuracy is my top priority in this section. For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/topic-wise-quizzes\/reasoning-quizzes\">reasoning quizzes<\/a>, I preferred only PracticeMock and Adda247.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/topic-wise-quizzes\/reasoning-quizzes\">Reasoning free topic wise quizzes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>General Awareness Section Preparation Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.

That&#8217;s it. Nothing hi-fi. Though I missed them on some occasions but covered them in the days that followed. I faced many challenges. Lack of concentration, retention to name a few. But things fall in place automatically when we keep working on the issues that we may face. Slowly and Steadily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/ibps-po\/?refcode=3442&amp;utm_source=Success+Story+of+Shekhar+Kumar%7C+Cleared+SBI+Clerk_120122_ibpspomains&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=ibpspomains\">IBPS PO Mains 2021 \u2013 Attempt free mock now<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How did PracticeMock help you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes.
