I was pursuing my PhD in Neuroscience from Taiwan. In March,2020 I came to India for holidays but unfortunately the pandemic stuck and lockdown was implemented in India. Unable to go back I extended my break for a few months. The frustration of being dropped out my PhD program was growing worse. Being idle for months I decided to prepare for competitive exams. Finally started my preparation in August,2020. I appeared for SBI, IBPS exams. Finally cleared IBPS CLERK. The preparation period was quite uncertain because of exam postponement and covid situation. I appeared for the below mentioned exams:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/sbi-po\/?refcode=2052&amp;utm_source=I%20gave%20one%20mock%20everyday%20for%20Prelims%20Preparation%20says%20Ashutosh%20Sahu-%20Cleared%20IBPS%20Clerk_060821_SBIPO&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=SBIPO\">SBI PO<\/a>: cleared prelims. Missed mains by 4 marks. <\/li><li>IBPS PO: couldn&#8217;t clear prelims. <\/li><li>IBPS Clerk: qualified<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Section-wise Preparation Strategy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>English Section Preparation Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was from ICSE background and I had professional experience so my spoken English was good. I didn&#8217;t have to prepare exclusively for English but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/sbi-po\/?refcode=2052&amp;utm_source=I%20gave%20one%20mock%20everyday%20for%20Prelims%20Preparation%20says%20Ashutosh%20Sahu-%20Cleared%20IBPS%20Clerk_060821_SBIPO&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=SBIPO\">mocks<\/a> helped a lot in improving my accuracy and basic grammar skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quantitative Aptitude<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Section Preparation Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Followed a few YouTube channels to get the basic knowledge of all chapters. But ultimately mocks helped me to substantiate my question selection technique, absorbing pressure and analyze my strength and weaknesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/ibps-rrb-office-assistant\/?refcode=2052&amp;utm_source=I%20gave%20one%20mock%20everyday%20for%20Prelims%20Preparation%20says%20Ashutosh%20Sahu-%20Cleared%20IBPS%20Clerk_060821_RRBOA&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=RRBOA\">RRB OA free mock test<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reasoning<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Section Preparation Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like quant, I followed some teachers to learn how to approach in different types of question. Most important was puzzles. The approach matters. <strong>I really appreciate the questions from PracticeMock because they give different types of puzzles with tricky words<\/strong>. It helps in mental exercise and makes you better at understanding the statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/ibps-rrb-officer-scale-1\/?refcode=2052&amp;utm_source=I%20gave%20one%20mock%20everyday%20for%20Prelims%20Preparation%20says%20Ashutosh%20Sahu-%20Cleared%20IBPS%20Clerk_060821_RRBPO&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=RRBPO\">RRB PO Prelims 2021 free mock <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>General Awareness Section Preparation Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daily GA video on YouTube and monthly revision of mcqs from affairs cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/sbi-po\/?refcode=2052&amp;utm_source=I%20gave%20one%20mock%20everyday%20for%20Prelims%20Preparation%20says%20Ashutosh%20Sahu-%20Cleared%20IBPS%20Clerk_060821_SBIPO&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=SBIPO\">SBI PO Prelims free mock test 2021<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overall Strategy, Study Schedule &amp; Challenges Faced<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially I used to score less in mocks. Maybe I was a bit overconfident and I used to lag in accuracy. After some disappointing marks I analyzed my mistakes. Patience, understanding of your strength, these are most important. Eventually I made progress in mocks and focused on keeping a good percentile (95%+). I used go through GA video daily and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/sbi-clerk\/?refcode=2052&amp;utm_source=I%20gave%20one%20mock%20everyday%20for%20Prelims%20Preparation%20says%20Ashutosh%20Sahu-%20Cleared%20IBPS%20Clerk_060821_SBIClerk&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=SBIClerk\">gave one mock everyday for Prelims<\/a> preparation. For mains, I gave 4 mocks and focused on my speed, accuracy, time management. It was unfortunate that I missed<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/sbi-po\/?refcode=2052&amp;utm_source=I%20gave%20one%20mock%20everyday%20for%20Prelims%20Preparation%20says%20Ashutosh%20Sahu-%20Cleared%20IBPS%20Clerk_060821_SBIPO&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=SBIPO\"> SBI PO<\/a> mains by 4 marks due to guess work which led to negative marking. That was an eye opener. In IBPS Clerk, I completely restricted myself from being inpatient and nervous, thus avoiding guess work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corona, exam postponement, uncertainty in vacancy these were frustrating and depressing while preparing. I just believed that things will happen someday but I have to be prepared. If I keep thinking about it, I might lag behind others when the actual day comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/sbi-clerk\/?refcode=2052&amp;utm_source=I%20gave%20one%20mock%20everyday%20for%20Prelims%20Preparation%20says%20Ashutosh%20Sahu-%20Cleared%20IBPS%20Clerk_060821_SBIClerk&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=SBIClerk\">Attempt SBI Clerk Prelims free mock<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How did PracticeMock help you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mocks of PracticeMock are good for mental exercise<\/strong>. Specially, the reasoning section. <strong>The tricky statements help in better understanding.<\/strong> It did help me to stay more aware and mentally active while reading the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Message to Fellow Aspirants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The competition is high. The vacancies less. Everyone knows this. But, it all comes down to the fact that you only need one seat. Your preparation should be concentrated and simple keeping in mind that you are your own competition. Stress on making yourself better. Success will come, you just need to understand yourself. Your strengths and weaknesses should be your only focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/ibps-rrb-officer-scale-1\/?refcode=2052&amp;utm_source=I%20gave%20one%20mock%20everyday%20for%20Prelims%20Preparation%20says%20Ashutosh%20Sahu-%20Cleared%20IBPS%20Clerk_060821_RRBPO&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=RRBPO\">RRB PO Prelims 2021 free mock<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This brings us to the end of Ashutosh Sahu&#8217;s success story.
