Has the IBPS PO Prelims marking scheme really changed for 2026?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Quantitative Aptitude marks were reduced from 35 to 30, while Reasoning Ability marks increased from 30 to 40. English Language remains at 30 marks. The total stays at 100 marks across 100 questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. Which section should I prioritise the most in Prelims preparation?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reasoning now carries the highest weightage at 40 marks, so it deserves proportionally more preparation time \u2014 but never at the cost of neglecting Quant or English, since both have independent sectional cut-offs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. How do I know if a section is genuinely weak or just feels difficult?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check your accuracy across your last 4-5 mocks, not just one. Accuracy consistently below 70% points to a real concept gap; high accuracy with slow speed usually just needs more timed drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. Should I give up on my weakest section if it&#8217;s not improving?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Since sectional cut-offs apply, you can&#8217;t skip a section entirely. Instead, aim to bring it to a &#8220;safe&#8221; level rather than trying to make it your strongest \u2014 the goal is balance, not mastery in every subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. How often should I review my section-wise error log?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do a quick review within 24 hours of every mock, and a deeper pattern review once a week across all mocks from that week. Patterns become clearer with more data points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related PracticeMock Blogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Topic<\/th><th>Link<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>IBPS PO Prelims 2026: Section-Wise Strategy for Success<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/ibps-po-prelims-section%E2%80%91wise-strategy-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read here<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>IBPS PO 2026: Complete Strategy for Prelims &amp; Mains<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/ibps-po-2026-complete-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read here<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>IBPS PO Syllabus 2026 PDF Download<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/ibps-po-syllabus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read here<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>IBPS PO Topic Wise Weightage 2026<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/ibps-po-topic-wise-weightage-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read here<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>IBPS PO 2026: 3 Months Study Plan<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/ibps-po-2026-3-months-study-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read here<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>How to Crack IBPS PO 2026: 4-Month Study Plan<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/how-to-crack-ibps-po-2026-4-month-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read here<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>IBPS Calendar 2026<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/ibps-calendar-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read here<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Disclaimer: PracticeMock articles \u2014 exam analysis, expected cut-offs, expected topics, exam pattern, syllabus, strategies, dates, results, recruitment updates \u2014 are for guidance only.
