Is a score of 40 in IBPS PO Prelims mocks really that far from clearing the cut-off?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent General\/EWS\/OBC cut-offs have ranged between 48.50 and 54.25 over the last three years. A 40-mark score is genuinely below this range, but the gap is closeable \u2014 most of it comes down to accuracy, not knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. Should I attempt more questions to increase my score from 40?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Attempting more questions without confidence usually adds more wrong answers, and negative marking eats into your correct ones. Aim for fewer, more confident attempts at 85%+ accuracy instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. How long does it typically take to move from 40 to 60+ marks?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a focused attempt-order and accuracy-first approach, most aspirants see a meaningful shift within 3-4 weeks of consistent mock practice and review \u2014 faster than most expect, since the fix is largely strategic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. Which section should I focus on most if I&#8217;m stuck at 40?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reasoning Ability now carries the highest weightage at 40 marks in the 2026 pattern, so improving accuracy there has the biggest impact on your overall score \u2014 but don&#8217;t neglect Quant or English, since sectional cut-offs apply to all three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. Is 60+ marks considered a safe score for IBPS PO Prelims 2026?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on recent cut-off trends of 48-55, a score of 60+ gives a healthy safety margin. It&#8217;s not a guaranteed clear, but it puts you well above the typical qualifying range even in a tougher paper.<\/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 Section-Wise Preparation Plan for Quant, Reasoning and English<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/ibps-po-section-wise-preparation-plan-quant-reasoning-english\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read here<\/a><\/td><\/tr><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 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: 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>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><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\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.
