In such a situation, it is very important to prepare the Quantitative Aptitude section. This particular section requires a lot of practice. But before practising, you need a proper strategy to make sure you cover the most important topics and practice them as much as you can. In this blog, we have come up with a strategy on how to cover the Quants section for the upcoming OICL AO Exam 2025.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/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-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fs1.practicemock.com%2Fexams%2F%3Fc%3Doiclaocr%26i%3Dbanking&amp;ref=14933\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Take a free mock Test<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Topic-wise Weightage for OICL AO Quant 2025<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this section, we have provided the topic-wise weightage for OICL AO 2025. The weightage is based on the previous year&#8217;s paper analysis by our experts.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Topic<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Weightage<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Simplification &amp; Approximation<\/td><td>5-7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Number Series<\/td><td>3-5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Data Interpretation (Table, Bar, Line, Pie)<\/td><td>10-12<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Arithmetic (P&amp;L, CI, SI, Time Work, Time Distance, Mensuration, Ratio, Mixture)<\/td><td>10-12<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Quadratic Equations<\/td><td>3-4<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategy to Prepare Quants for OICL AO 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this section, we have provided the topic-wise strategy to cover the quants section. How to prepare a particular topic and how you should proceed further.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Simplification and Approximation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Build your foundation on BODMAS, percentage conversions, square\u2013cube values, and fractions. Practice at least 30 questions daily to improve calculation speed. Focus on approximation rules and common number patterns. Target 30-40 seconds per question. Use Vedic Math techniques for addition, subtraction, and multiplication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Number Series<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with basic patterns such as +n, \u2013n, \u00d7n, \u00f7n, square patterns, cube patterns, AP, GP. Practice missing and wrong series separately. Solve 15\u201320 sets daily. Maintain a formula sheet for common series multipliers like \u00d71.5, \u00d72.5, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Data Interpretation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>DI is the highest-scoring part. Focus on ratio calculation, percentage comparison, and average-based DI. Solve all forms: tabular, bar, pie, caselet, line graphs. Practice two DI sets every day. Learn how to approximate values without compromising accuracy to save time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arithmetic Chapters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Prepare arithmetic in a concept + formula + application style. Learn standard formulas for Time &amp; Work, Time-Speed &amp; Distance, CI-SI difference, Mixture &amp; Alligation, Mensuration 2D &amp; 3D. After learning a chapter, solve 50-70 questions of mixed-level difficulty. Revise weekly because arithmetic is high-weightage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quadratic Equations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Focus on factorisation, sign rules, and comparison of roots. Practice at least 20 questions in intervals. Quadratics are usually easy marks; aim to solve them within 20-30 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>30-Day Study Plan for OICL AO Quant<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Week<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Focus Areas<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Daily Tasks<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Week 1<\/td><td>Basics + Calculation Speed<\/td><td>Tables, squares, cubes, simplification, approximation, basic arithmetic<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Week 2<\/td><td>Core Chapters<\/td><td>Arithmetic (P&amp;L, Ratio, TSD, TW), Quadratics, Number Series<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Week 3<\/td><td>DI Mastery<\/td><td>Solve 2-3 DI sets daily + mixed arithmetic problems<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Week 4<\/td><td>Full-Length Practice<\/td><td>Attempt 4-5 mock tests, analyse mistakes, revise weak topics<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Mistakes to Avoid while OICL AO Quants Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this section, we have explained the common mistakes that generally students commit and it costs them their selection. But by knowing this, you can avoid it and boost your performance in the exam.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spending too much time on DI without using approximate shortcuts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Aspirants often try to solve every DI value exactly, and that\u2019s where the time slips away. In the exam, you must use approximation for faster comparisons.<br><strong>Example:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>If the value is <strong>48.97% of 799<\/strong>, you don\u2019t need perfect accuracy. Approximate it as <strong>50% of 800 = 400<\/strong> and move ahead. This saves 30-40 seconds per question, which adds up across a DI set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ignoring arithmetic basics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Arithmetic forms the backbone of OICL AO Quant. If you ignore basics like ratios, averages, and percentage relations, even DI and DS will feel difficult to solve. As this are the basic chapters that generally covers 60% of the arithmetic segment.<br><strong>Example:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>If you don\u2019t remember that <strong>25% = 1\/4<\/strong>, you\u2019ll waste time converting decimals repeatedly. Strong basics help you solve compound questions faster, especially in caselets and mixed arithmetic DI.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not analysing mock tests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply taking mocks isn\u2019t enough, analysing them is where actual improvement happens. You should review every wrong question, missed question, and time-consuming question.<br><strong>Example:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>If you took 3 minutes on a simple TSD question, you must check what step slowed you down so you don\u2019t repeat it in the exam.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Memorising number series instead of understanding patterns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Series questions come with new patterns every year. If you depend on memorisation, you\u2019ll get stuck whenever the examiner throws an unconventional pattern.<br><strong>Example:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Instead of trying to remember \u201c\u00d72 + 1\u201d, \u201c\u00d73 \u2013 5\u201d patterns, understand the logic: Is the series increasing? Decreasing? This helps you decode even twisted series in seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skipping revision<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you practise hundreds of questions, you lose speed and accuracy when you don\u2019t revise formulas and concepts regularly.<br><strong>Example:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>If you learned Alligation today but don\u2019t revise it for a week, you\u2019ll forget the shortcut ratio method and end up solving through long steps. Regular revision keeps formulas fresh and boosts confidence during mocks.<\/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-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fs1.practicemock.com%2Fexams%2F%3Fc%3Doiclaocr%26i%3Dbanking&amp;ref=14933\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Take a free mock Test<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\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.
