Mantra to achieve success in SBI PO Prelim exam is
One thing that everybody should know - 2000 * 20 = 40,000 candidates will be selected so cutoff will be decided on the basis of marks secured by all the candidates. If 60 minutes are not sufficient for you then this much time is not sufficient for any candidate appearing for the exam.
Many of you might be over-confident about this exam, let me make it clear that at least 15 lac candidates will appear for SBI PO preliminary exam. So approximately 1 out of 40 candidates will be selected in the Preliminary exam.

1) It's all about right selection of questions
Forget about solving 100 questions within 60 minutes, an average candidate can't even read all the 100 questions within 60 minutes. Cutoff should be around 45-50, so you made make your plan accordingly.
2) Skip Sentence rearrangements
Yes I said this!
I have seen dozens of my students appearing for bank exams. They waste lots of time in solving sentence arrangement questions but most of the times their accuracy remains very low.
So my suggestion is - Skip these questions.
3) Time allotment
Optimum time allotment :-
English - 15 minutes
Quantitative aptitude - 22 minutes
Reasoning - 23 minutes
4) Art of choosing easy questions
This exam demands candidates to choose easy questions and skip hard questions. Answer this simple question :-
Can you solve two reading comprehensions within 12 minutes ?
If your answer is no then attempt only Cloze test and vocabulary questions from one RC and solve second RC completely. In case there is shortage of time then attempt just Cloze test and vocabulary questions from both RCs.
5) Practice
What will happen if there is an easy exam ?
Cutoffs will surpass the roof!
So if you practice daily, you will quickly make out that whether you can solve a particular question within 1 minute or not.
Can answer a question within 1 minute ?
If answer is NO then skip the question.
Can answer a question within 1 minute ?
If answer is NO then skip the question.
