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.
