Full marks isn\u2019t possible if the entire syllabus isn\u2019t covered <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Many aspirants from the very first day think of sections, types of questions, topics they will not attempt in the exam. They do this because either they struggle with these topics or have preconceived fears developed in their minds. It\u2019s usually the combination of two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Focusing on the questions which you aren\u2019t comfortable solving is the strategy that can get you close to the 35\/35 landmark. It\u2019s not even the case where questions are too hard to be solved but our deep-rooted fears about the subject or topic are what block us from learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s the solution? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Start fresh with these subjects or topics. Learn from the very beginning. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Get your concepts strong <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Choose a teacher or a friend who can personally guide you. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Devote your time accordingly. Don\u2019t leave these topics for the last hour. Try to solve them first when you self-study. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Keep repeating to yourself that you can\u2019t score 35\/35 if you don\u2019t address these challenging questions. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- If you are done with your concepts and topics now, you should start taking sectional mocks to evaluate your sectional performance. You can take them bi-weekly. Try to finish the sectional test before 45 minutes as you progress. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Don\u2019t leave any topics of puzzle or seating arrangement. These two are going to carry the maximum marks in this section. However, this doesn\u2019t mean you should be easy on another topic. Practice a few puzzle related questions daily to boost your confidence. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Critical reasoning isn\u2019t as hard as you think. All you need is proper guidance. A step-based protocol for attempting such questions. You can read our detailed blog on \u2013\u00a0Critical Reasoning Tips and Tricks (Bank Exams)<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
English Language Strategy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- 2-3 Reading Comprehensions will improve your overall English preparation <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Error detection questions are a must. You should practice 10-15 questions daily. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Practice cloze test questions as they may come with a good weightage of marks. They can be hard to understand conceptually, but enough practice will make you comfortable. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Other topics, including sentence arrangement, para jumbles, etc., are also important. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Measure your language skills & improvement at regular intervals. For example \u2013 You can evaluate your reading speed (words read per minute) by noting your speed every week. Similarly, you can track your average time taken to solve the English section by taking free mock tests<\/a>. You can even take bi-weekly mock tests and even mini-mocks to evaluate your performances. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- For any banking aspirant, a healthy reading habit is a must. You may start slow but eventually, help yourself to grow further. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Quantitative Aptitude Strategy <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Divide your attempt strategy on the basis of category of questions <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Approach Quant section with the mindset of reasonable attempts <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Divide your time as per the category of questions <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Speed Maths <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You can\u2019t crack the numerical ability section without mastering speed math techniques. Speed maths will eventually help you in staying within the time limit and will also give you the freedom of attempting all the questions efficiently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOther General Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t focus too much on one subject <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Never make the mistake of sticking to one single subject. Yes, you should be putting extra effort into your weak subject but don’t neglect it altogether because you are afraid of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Identify weak areas early-on <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As mentioned, you need to cover all your subjects well; you should quickly identify your weak subjects or topics under various subjects. It is logically impossible to predict the number of questions of a specific topic that will make it to the exam. Give some extra time to such subjects so that you are able to attain the basic level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nTrain Facebook and Google algorithm for your preparation <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This way you will be able to be in regular touch with the updates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t fall for previous year cut-off <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It is in the hands of the examiner of how he or she chooses to set up the entire paper. Just prepare like you should in the first place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
