To crack the IBPS Specialist Officer Exam in your first attempt, understand the types of questions asked in the exam. This can happen only when you start practicing from today onwards. First think are you well aware of the exam pattern? Have you compiled your study resources? Are your basic concepts clear? If you can answer all these questions confidently, you can also clear this exam in the remaining days of preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Go through the Prelims Exam Pattern First<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Prelims exam includes 50 questions each from the Reasoning, English Language, and Quantitative Aptitude sections. You will get 40 minutes for each section, and a negative marking of 1\/4th of the marks allotted to the question is applied. Remember that sectional cut-offs apply for this exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Section<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>No. of Questions<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Total Marks<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Duration<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Reasoning<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>40 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>English Language<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>25<\/td><td>40 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Quantitative Aptitude<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>50<\/td><td>40 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Total<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>150<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>125<\/strong><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/ibps-so-syllabus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Refer to the IBPS SO Complete Syllabus and Exam Pattern Now!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practice Questions from Important Topics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You should know about the IBPS SO Important topics and their weightage in the previous year&#8217;s exam. The Quantitative Aptitude Important topics include DI, Simplification and Approximation, Number Series, and Arithmetic word problems. The important reasoning topics include puzzles and seating arrangement, syllogism, inequality, coding-decoding, and blood relations. The English Language important topics include RCs, Cloze Test, Para Jumbles, Error Spotting, and Fill in the Blanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/ibps-so-quantitative-aptitude-topic-wise-weightage\/\"><strong>Know IBPS SO Quant Topic-wise Weightage!<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/ibps-so-reasoning-topic-wise-weightage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Know IBPS SO Reasoning Topic-wise Weightage!<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/ibps-so-english-topic-wise-weightage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Know IBPS SO English Topic-wise Weightage!<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Test Yourself Regularly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular tests help you know your preparation level.

Each topic test will consist of 10 questions from that particular topic, of 10 marks, to be completed in 10 minutes only. Don&#8217;t spend more than one minute on any question when you attempt the test. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Your Weekend Smartly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make your weekends count with smart revision of topics that you have studied during your weekdays. Practice through time-bound tests. Shift your focus to another subject to avoid hectic studying. Don&#8217;t get stuck on 1 topic for more than 2 hours. Take a 10-minute topic test every day. Weekends are for analysis of tests and making short notes for last-minute revision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attempt 1 Full-length Mock Test on Alternative Days<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You have 30 days to complete 10 full-length Prelims Mock tests provided to you. It contains 150 questions of 125 marks and is to be completed in 2 hours. Try to complete 1 section in 40 minutes only. Negative marking applies; therefore, strive for accuracy. It is more important to attempt accurately than attempt a larger number of questions through guesswork. Avoid guessing answers if you don&#8217;t know the logic behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Day 1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/ibps-so-test-series\/?ref=13845\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mock Test 1<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Day 3<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/ibps-so-test-series\/?ref=13845\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mock Test 2<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Day 5<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/ibps-so-test-series\/?ref=13845\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mock Test 3<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Day 7<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/ibps-so-test-series\/?ref=13845\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mock Test 4<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Day 9<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/ibps-so-test-series\/?ref=13845\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mock Test 5<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Day 11<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/ibps-so-test-series\/?ref=13845\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mock Test 6<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Day 13<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/ibps-so-test-series\/?ref=13845\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mock Test 7<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Day 15<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/ibps-so-test-series\/?ref=13845\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mock Test 8<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Day 17<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/ibps-so-test-series\/?ref=13845\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mock Test 9<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Day 19<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/ibps-so-test-series\/?ref=13845\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mock Test 10<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Your Performance Analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Check your overall performance in tests and improve your problem-solving skills based on that. Make sure you are heading the right way, mastering important topics, and making daily improvements. Note down the solutions and learn the concepts behind the questions that you have skipped. Learn why your answer is incorrect and how you can improve your accuracy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extensive Revision<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only learning, but revision makes all the difference! Revision can be done through self-made notes. Applying the formulas and short tricks to tests. Using flashcards to revise important grammar rules and vocabulary. Note important words in a colourful paper and stick it to the wall or keep it where you can see it again and again. Practicing quizzes on important topics and noting down the solutions. Revising through short notes helps you retain the memory of solving the questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Follow a Healthy Lifestyle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Following a healthy lifestyle will help you increase your score in this exam. You become mentally prepared for this exam. Make the best use of the time available to you. Divide your study slots in such a way that they cover the important topics of the subjects covered in the Prelims exam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.practicemock.com%2Fs1pricing%2Findex.php%3Fc%3Dpremium&amp;ref=13845\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Banking-Plus-Course-1.png\" alt=\"banking Plus Course\" class=\"wp-image-148628\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the above-provided strategies will help you prepare for the exam.
