Inspiring Success Story Of Vishal Khanapure

Hey folks, I’m Vishal Khanapure from Karnataka. I did my Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical from UVCE College, Bengaluru in 2018. I cleared SBI PO 2019 in my first attempt and which was my first ever bank exam.

I started my journey towards the banking industry by joining an institution where I got to know about the syllabus and of course few tips to crack where they taught me how to reduce our mental stress by seeing the number of vacancies and the number of applicants. The wonderful tip was “We need only one job among any number of vacancies”

My Section-Wise Exam Strategy:

Quantitative Aptitude

First I had gone through Arihant Publications – Fast Track Objective Arithmetic book. I revised it twice but I did not observe much improvement.

Then, someone suggested that I should take mock tests regularly from Oliveboard, after a few days there was a huge improvement, both in my subject knowledge as well as in my speed.

Reasoning Ability

I read RS AGARWAL and along with this, I used to take OLIVEBOARD quizzes (free quizzes from the app).

After a few days when I got some grip on the subject, I started solving high-level puzzles from different sources as well.

English Language

The word English can be replaced by newspapers. I referred THE HINDU paper and used to read about 1hr (only editorial) and used to make notes of vocabs. Take Free English New Pattern Topic Tests to test your understanding of topic
