Inspiring success story of Rakesh R

I started my preparation in 2019. I cleared many prelims exams and also cleared the SBI PO Mains last time but couldn’t clear the interview. So, I fully focused on clearing SBI JA and succeeded.

Subject-wise preparation strategy

English

For English, it’s all about reading. I read the daily newspapers (The New Indian Express) for at least 30-45min. I also read some novels also.

Quantitative Aptitude

I followed the book “Quantitative aptitude for CAT by Arun Sharma”: and did lots of mock tests.

Reasoning

Initially, I watched some YouTube videos to get a basic idea. Then I did a lot of mock tests.

General/Financial Awareness:

I followed various sources for it. Daily newspaper reading too helped.

Role of Oliveboard

The quality of questions in mock tests from Oliveboard is amazing. It’s on par with the actual exams. My preparation with Oliveboard started with SBI PO 2020 and I qualified both Prelims and Mains. The next exam was SBI JA which I also cleared prelims and mains. So, I would thank Oliveboard for this success.
