Hi fellows ,
My preparation start with Strategy Formulation. I pick the previous exam papers and make a list that have questions which usually comes in every exam,
Reach the conclusion that instead of going from one side of RS Aggarwal to other side, it’s better to concentrate on the chapters which play imp roll or have higher weightage in the exam
I came to conclusion that in Quantitative Aptitude, If I work on my calculation speed it will cover the DI part by default, which is enough to crack the exam it comes in 15 marks and cut off as even not that much. So quantitative aptitude sectional cutoff covered by by DI.
Marks allocation in SBI PO
- Quadratic, linear and probability ----5 marks
- Calculation based questions ---10
- Series - 5
- Time and work, Time and distance, Alligation - 4-5
- Data sufficiency - 5
- Data interpretation - 15
Reasoning
- Syllogism 5 questions are always there
- Machine input is always there - 5 marks
- Sitting arrangement - 5 marks
- Coding Decoding - 5 marks
English
I spent much time in practicing the comprehension part as u don’t need to cram any grammar rules to crack it ………………..15 marksPlus jumbled sentences to be arranged in serial numbers ………5 marks
In GK I follow Economic Times ,and mostly concentrate on the news related to banking
As I m from IT background I never prepare for the computer section, but for the people from different fields I want to tell that it is just the basic knowledge of computers don’t afraid of it.
So according to me planning is the key ,concentrate on the chapters which contains more marks rather than spending much time on others from which less questions are asked
And revision is must , I seen my friends not revising the things at regular level, revise everything u studies before exam
Practice the sample papers solved many exam papers and evaluate myself , in start i as only able to score 20 marks but with practice i very soon start getting good marks
540,50,70,90,100 ..you have to fail many such exams at practice level to get to success and finally get crack the sample paper before cracking the real online exam.
On the day of exam in exam hall :most imp thing is to back yourself,if exam is tough that is so for all the candidates s ,just do the questions which u have practiced at home and never compare number of question with last yr cut off...judge the exam paper on its merit only,keep baking yourself that u ill definitely get success..:)

ReplyDeleteMr Ramandeep singh,
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to say but you don't seem to actually look at or comprehend what you are publishing as 'articles' in your blog. This article is another such example. This so called strategy plan by Mr Bains is a sure shot way of getting yourself booted out of the SBI PO exam. Author doesn't seem to be acquainted with the current format of the examination which is not what he formulated strategies for. This looks to me strategies for IBPS PO exam which is vastly different from SBI's one. Author just replaced IBPS with SBI. Now that could prove lethal for gullible souls which unfortunately are so many in our country. Its a shame really that you let all this happen. I come here for quality advice from you but you seem to have lost the touch.
yes I had just share it for ibps ....i hav never given sbi po....i guess sir ne galti se sbi po naam rakh dia dost

ReplyDeleteHi Raman
ReplyDeleteI was going through the cut-off marks for SBI 2013 and it mentioned 151 was the marks of the last candidate who qualified for gd and interview so how do say that it is 115-120 marks?? Bit confused
Raman Sir, i just want to clear 1 doubt... in SBI PO quant section it is written that " Data analysis n Data Intepretatn"... does Data Analysis mean other topix of QA? coz in this article u hav mentioned marks allocatn of other topix of QA also... whereas SBI PO 2013 contained ques of only DI, although it was notified "Data analysis n Data Intepretatn".
ReplyDeleteSir plz clear this... maths me kewal DI aega ya sab kuch... plz rpy !!!

ReplyDeletePlease reply
I am attempting the SBI PO 2014 exam for the 2nd time this year I think I lost out earlier due to time management also i feel i took lot of time in reasoning I also need to work on my general awareness. I am quite comfortable with concepts just need to brush up few areas of reasoning. I am planning to join test series of career power and focus more on giving tests rather than again going through all concepts. Kindly recommend me what kind of strategy i should follow considering just 2 months are left and I am working also so I can devote time early in the morning about 2 hrs. Kindly suggest what should be done to crack the exam
ReplyDeletesir plz provide ibps bank po general eligibility criteria. how much % required in graduation.plz give me informtion
