Why master important topics?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many aspirants waste their time by preparing everything in detail. But the truth is, you don\u2019t have to study the entire syllabus deeply. Instead, you should focus on the topics that are asked again and again in previous years. These topics cover a major part of the paper and give you quick marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you must be aware, the exam has 4 sections. You can score a maximum of 50 marks in Reasoning, a maximum of 50 marks from Quantitative Aptitude, 30 marks in English (30 marks), and 50 marks in General Awareness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Awareness and Reasoning have the highest weightage. So, they are the most scoring parts of the exam<\/strong>. But that doesn’t mean you can neglect Quants and English. They are also important because they decide the final cut-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prepare well all those topics whose weightage is the highest, then at the time of the exam not only will some marks surely come into your account, but also your time will be saved during the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important topics you must prepare<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every topper says the same thing: \u201cStudy smartly.\u201d Studying smart means dividing your focus based on weightage. From past years\u2019 papers, we know that some topics are repeated in every exam. If you leave them, you lose easy marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, in Reasoning, puzzles and seating arrangements take up half the section. In Quant, DI and Arithmetic dominate. In English, comprehension is always present. And in GA, current affairs from the last 6 months are a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the detailed table of important topics, with their weightage and importance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE: <\/strong>If you prepare these topics first, you already cover about 70% of the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to quickly revise all these topics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Knowing the topics is one step. Revising them on time is the second. Most aspirants fail not because they don\u2019t study, but because they don\u2019t revise properly. <\/strong>Without revision, you forget formulas, concepts, and facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to revise is to make short notes of formulas, GK points, and shortcuts. Revise them daily. For General Awareness, focus on the last 6 months of current affairs, especially Banking and Economy updates. Don\u2019t try to study everything. Stick to what is asked in exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another proven way is practicing mocks. PracticeMock\u2019s latest SIDBI Grade A mock tests<\/a> are crafted exactly like the real paper. Attempt sectional mocks for speed and accuracy. Attempt full-length mocks twice a week to build exam stamina. After each mock, check your mistakes and revise them again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revision is not about reading again and again. It is about testing yourself until you are exam-ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takeaway<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The SIDBI Grade A Phase 1 exam is really competitive, no doubt. But you can clear it in the very first attempt. To get success in Phase 1, you need to understand the exam pattern well, pay attention to important topics, and practice them daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must follow the toppers’ success mantra that says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
