Then someone suggested me PracticeMock app for preparation. At first I was having difficulty to match up with the level of PM, but gradually I started to improve. Then I was able to clear almost every prelims, but again I was getting stuck on mains. I missed SBI junior Associate 2020 by only 0.75 marks. But still I knew that I could do it. Then the big break came as RRB officer Scale I for which I have been allotted Assam Gramin Vikas Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/ibps-clerk\/?refcode=2665&amp;utm_source=Success+Story+of+Arnab+Bhattacharya+%7C+Cleared+IBPS+RRB+PO_060921_IBPSClerk&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=IBPSClerk\">IBPS Clerk prelims free mock test 2021<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exams which I appeared in till date are mentioned below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>SBI JA 2018 mains missed dreadfully. <\/li><li>FCI assistant mains missed by 2 marks. <\/li><li>NYK accounts clerk typing test not qualified after scoring 147 in mains. <\/li><li>LIC assistant mains missed by 4 marks. <\/li><li>SBI JA 2019 missed by 6 marks. <\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/ibps-clerk\/?refcode=2665&amp;utm_source=Success+Story+of+Arnab+Bhattacharya+%7C+Cleared+IBPS+RRB+PO_060921_IBPSClerk&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=IBPSClerk\">IBPS Clerk<\/a> 2019 missed by 4marks. <\/li><li>SBI JA 2020 missed by 0.75 (hoping for waiting list) <\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/ibps-rrb-officer-scale-1\/?refcode=2665&amp;utm_source=Success+Story+of+Arnab+Bhattacharya+%7C+Cleared+IBPS+RRB+PO_060921_RRBPOmains&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=RRBPOmains\">RRB PO mains<\/a> and interview &#8211; cracked<\/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 have the habit of reading novels since childhood so I never really had to put stress on preparing english. I just gave <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/sbi-po\/?refcode=2665&amp;utm_source=Success+Story+of+Arnab+Bhattacharya+%7C+Cleared+IBPS+RRB+PO_060921_SBIPO&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=SBIPO\">mini mocks<\/a> from PracticeMock. By God&#8217;s grace I have never scored less than 28 in any mains exam in english.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quantitative Aptitude<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Section Preparation Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking about Quants, PM is the best app if you are really serious about cracking a banking exam. Generally it&#8217;s questions are a bit more difficult than actual questions that are asked in exam. If you can master the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/sbi-po\/?refcode=2665&amp;utm_source=Success+Story+of+Arnab+Bhattacharya+%7C+Cleared+IBPS+RRB+PO_060921_SBIPO&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=SBIPO\">mocks<\/a> in PM, the exam will seem easier. DI is the game changer for Mains, so I was basically <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/sbi-po\/?refcode=2665&amp;utm_source=Success+Story+of+Arnab+Bhattacharya+%7C+Cleared+IBPS+RRB+PO_060921_SBIPO&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=SBIPO\">practicing a lot of DIs<\/a> on regular basis so that an ability grows in me to quickly see the ways by which I can reach the answer. To grow this thing is important as atleast 2\/3 DIs are to be solved in mains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reasoning<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Section Preparation Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In reasoning the only thing that is needed is practice, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/ibps-po\/?refcode=2665&amp;utm_source=Success+Story+of+Arnab+Bhattacharya+%7C+Cleared+IBPS+RRB+PO_060921_IBPSPO&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=IBPSPO\">practice and practice<\/a>. There&#8217;s no other way. Just give mocks, analyze, again give mocks, again analyze. The analysis is very very important to determine the strengths and weaknesses so that those areas can be strengthened. I guess not everyone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/ibps-po\/?refcode=2665&amp;utm_source=Success+Story+of+Arnab+Bhattacharya+%7C+Cleared+IBPS+RRB+PO_060921_IBPSPO&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=IBPSPO\">analyzes mocks<\/a> after attempting. But analysis is more important than actually giving the mock. PM mocks play an important role as the level of questions are very much exam centric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/topic-wise-quizzes\/reasoning-quizzes\">Practice Reasoning Topic Wise Quizzes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>General Awareness Section Preparation Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used to watch daily videos on youtube and make short notes from them. I also took AffairsCloud monthly pdfs and read them throughout 15\/20times. What it does is, you remember the news by looking at the options. But revising every month&#8217;s pdf 15\/20times is great. If it can be done, there&#8217;s no stopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overall Strategy, Study Schedule &amp; Challenges Faced<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My study hours were 6am to 9am then again 6:30pm to 11pm on working days and 9am to 2pm, then 5pm to 11pm during Holidays. That was fixed. Nobody could break the routine. I generally studied GK in the morning, Quants and Reasoning afterwards. I used to take a new exercise book, write date on it, and challenge myself to finish all the pages as early as possible. I purchased PM pass. So every mock was accessible to me. I used to submit some mocks, then gradually finish them taking time. That helped me to build concept of each paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I work as a school teacher. So I had to work from 9:30 to 3pm in working days. I used to be tired but still used to finish my targeted study for the day. I used to watch motivational videos of Les Brown, Eric Thomas to motivate myself and to never give up. I failed 6 mains exams, before cracking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/ibps-rrb-officer-scale-1\/?refcode=2665&amp;utm_source=Success+Story+of+Arnab+Bhattacharya+%7C+Cleared+IBPS+RRB+PO_060921_RRBPOmains&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=RRBPOmains\">RRB PO<\/a>. So giving up was never an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How did PracticeMock help you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The question level of practice mock is excellent. If one can master these, mains exams will seem easy. I purchased a pass to access all the mocks and started solving them. I used to submit first then go and solve the questions gradually keeping 3\/4 mocks to attempt before exam under time limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Message to the Fellow Aspirants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Never give up. Just never. Sometimes you&#8217;ll feel the urge to quit and that&#8217;s normal. But if you give up, you&#8217;ll lose anyway. So to win, you must get going. But yes, hard work is the key. You can&#8217;t just dream and expect someone to fulfill them for you. Your dream, you have to achieve. It&#8217;s possible. Just keep going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is all from us in this article.
