Marks Rich Chapters for SBI PO Preliminary Exam

March 29, 2016
Many readers asked me a common question that how to pick 60 easy questions from 100 questions. I gave many subjective and vague answers. As marks in SBI PO preliminary exam won't be considered for final selection. I am listing few easy and marks rich chapters. By preparing and attempting these sections, you can easily score 50+. Expected cutoff for SBI PO Prelim is around 45.

I am not asking you to skip difficult question types but as there is limited time and you have 60 minutes for 100 questions, it's a smart decision to skip few difficult question types.
