Don\u2019t worry about performance at this stage.Once you know your strengths and weaknesses, you can make a study plan instead of wasting time on random preparation. Analyze your paper on the basis of<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Which topics do you find easy or difficult?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which sections do you feel the most challenging?<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2 : Check Previous Year Papers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Go through the last <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/sbi-clerk-previous-year-paper-pdf-with-detailed-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3\u20134 years\u2019 SBI Clerk prelims papers<\/a>. This will help you spot patterns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Always Asked Topics<\/strong> \u2013 For example, simplification in Quant, puzzles in Reasoning, and Reading Comprehension in English.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sometimes Asked Topics<\/strong> \u2013There are some topic which are asked in different shifts. These topics come sometimes. These topic can be easy marks if prepared well.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rare Topics<\/strong> \u2013 Sometimes they are easier than the high-weightage ones, so don\u2019t ignore them completely.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Step 3: Clear All Your Basics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After your mock test and previous year paper analysis, list all topics where your accuracy is low or speed is slow. Start improving from the ground up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Understand Concepts First<\/strong> \u2013 For example, before solving percentage problems, make sure you understand percentage increase\/decrease and ratio conversion.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Learn Shortcuts After Basics<\/strong> \u2013 Use tricks only when your fundamentals are strong; otherwise, shortcuts can lead to mistakes.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Daily Practice<\/strong> \u2013 Solve 10\u201320 questions of your weak topics daily until you feel confident.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4:Make a Study Plan and Preparation Strategy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a student, you have more flexibility, so give as much time as possible to your preparation. This means studying in long, focused sessions, especially during your most productive hours (usually mornings). For working professionals, your study time is limited, so manage your time smartly. Try to study for 2\u20133 hours in the morning before work when your mind is fresh. Use lunch breaks for light revision like reading notes, learning vocabulary, or solving a few practice questions. In the evening, focus mainly on <strong>practice and mock tests<\/strong> to keep your problem-solving skills sharp. Whether you\u2019re studying full-time or part-time, make a timetable that clearly divides your time between <strong>learning, revision, and practice<\/strong>. You can start with high-weightage topics to increase your marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Focus on High-Weightage Topics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Banking exam has some topics that come every year and carry a high marks.
