Read the success story of Abhay, a B.com graduate, who has joined BOB after clearing the IBPS PO exam. During his preparation phase, he realized that to clear any banking exam, speed and accuracy are the two most important factors on which the aspirants should work.
Inspiring Story of Abhay Shinde Patil
Hello everyone, my name is Abhay Shinde and I am a B.COM graduate from Savitribai phule Pune University. Becoming a part of BOB is a great feeling and in my case, it took a little longer to be here. Although I graduated in 2018 then I started preparing for these exams which was the best decision I took.
During my preparation, I realized that accuracy and speed are two things that matter the most in banking exams, and I was on the bad side in the case of speed and English. At the start, I couldn’t clear some pre-exams because I lacked practice. So, I started giving Oliveboard full mock tests and mini mock tests available on various platforms. These two things helped me to score good marks in pre exams.
Abhay’s Subject-wise Strategy
English:
I started reading one newspaper editorial on a daily basis, attempting quizzes based on English comprehension.
General Awareness
Gave a birds-eye view on GK updates, thoroughly read six months GK before mains, gave mock tests, and analyzed my performance.
