With only 45 minutes and high competition, the difference between clearing and missing the cut-off often comes down to how smartly you choose your questions. You are not expected to solve everything; instead, you are expected to choose the questions wisely and attempt to solve them with utmost precision, ensuring accuracy is maintained. When you know which questions to pick first, which ones to attempt next, and which ones to skip instantly, you save time, stay calm and maximise your score. This blog helps you build that strategy so you enter the exam with clarity and come out with confidence. Also, try to use this strategy while attempting the mocks before the examination, so you can get accustomed to the practice.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/ibps-rrb-officer-test-series\/?ref=14826\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Take <\/strong>a<strong> Free RRB PO<\/strong> <strong>Mock Test <\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start With Quick and High-Accuracy Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin every section by targeting the questions that are straightforward and require minimal interpretation. These questions help you build early momentum and save precious minutes. If you solve questions in the beginning, then it would be much better for you to solve complex problems in the leftover time without any pressure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Reasoning, you should attempt the questions in the order given below-&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Inequality<\/strong>&#8211; This will hardly take 2-3 seconds to decode the logic, and usually involves direct comparisons that can be solved in seconds.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Syllogism<\/strong>&#8211; Use Venn diagrams to solve the questions faster while maintaining accuracy.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Direction and distance<\/strong>&#8211; Use diagrams and mention directions<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blood relation<\/strong>&#8211; Make a family tree and label males and females differently using symbols.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Alphabet and number series<\/strong>&#8211; Predictable Patterns<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Quant section, start with<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Simplification and Approximation<\/strong> &#8211; Quick calculations with predictable steps<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Number series<\/strong>&#8211; Missing or wrong number sets that reveal patterns instantly<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By solving these first, you secure 8 to 12 marks quickly without losing time or accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Move to Scoring and Moderate Level Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After finishing the easy ones or one-liners, move to questions that require slightly more thinking but still offer excellent accuracy. This ensures you keep scoring steadily without getting stuck. This stage helps you add another 10 to 12 marks safely and increases your overall momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In Reasoning<\/strong>, you can go for<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Short linear arrangement puzzles<\/strong> that have clear clues<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Floor or box-based puzzles<\/strong> with direct relationships<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In Quant section<\/strong>, move to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Percentage, Ratio and Proportion, Time and Work, Profit and Loss<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>These questions follow fixed formulas. If you practise well, you will solve them in under a minute each.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attempt One Good Puzzle or DI Set<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the turning point of your attempt. You should not try to solve every puzzle or every DI set. Instead, pick one that opens up within the first 30 to 60 seconds. If you realise a puzzle is not opening immediately, you should skip it. Choosing one correct set gives you 5 solid marks without spending excessive time. This is where many aspirants waste 8 to 10 minutes on a single puzzle. You must avoid these mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good puzzle or DI has<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clear and direct statements<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lesser variables<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No hidden or contradictory clues<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A simple structure<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skip Without Hesitation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Skipping is not a weakness. In fact, it is a top scorer\u2019s habit. By skipping these, you save time for high-probability questions. Every minute saved increases your final attempt count. Remember, the RRB PO exam is designed to test your decision-making, not your stubbornness to solve everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You should skip any question where<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You cannot identify the pattern instantly<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The puzzle feels lengthy or layered<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DI calculations involve multiple ratios or unit conversions<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arithmetic questions require long fractional steps<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Section-Wise Time Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should enter the exam with a fixed plan so you don\u2019t panic or overthink during the exam. Not only is this the plan that you\u2019re making, but try to practice the same while attempting the mock tests before the actual examination. This plan gives you enough time to score well without losing accuracy. Your goal should be to maximise correct attempts, not random attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For Reasoning<\/strong>, target<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>5 to 7 minutes for easy questions<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>8 to 10 minutes for moderate puzzles<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5 to 7 minutes for one good puzzle<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For Quant<\/strong>, target<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>5 minutes for simplification and series<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10 to 12 minutes for arithmetic<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>7 to 9 minutes for one DI set<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To solve questions from different topics, you can buy our test series, where you can reattempt the full-length mock tests and get a Detailed Comparison with the Topper, compare your Time, Score, Accuracy, Correct\/Wrong Answers, and even the Average Performance side-by-side.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/ibps-rrb-officer-test-series\/?ref=14826\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Take <\/strong>a<strong> Free RRB PO<\/strong> <strong>Mock Test <\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-d0e0a3a8-b69d-4092-97bd-1714f1a5d058\"><em><strong>Join our exclusive Telegram group where our experts are ready to answer all your queries, guide you in banking exam preparation, and give personalised tips to boost your success.
