I have completed my MA in English in 2016. At first, I was pursuing my academic career and at the same time sat for IBPS CLERK VI. In my 1st attempt, I cleared the preliminary exam. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That gave me enough confidence to shift my career from the academy to the banking sector. But due to the lack of General and Banking awareness, I failed the main exam. From then on I started taking <strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/sbi-po\/?ref=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">preparation<\/a><\/span><\/strong> seriously.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Exam_Preparation_Strategy\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>My Exam Preparation Strategy<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Quant Section:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> During my college and university, I got detached from math so I had to start afresh. I started to solve R S Aggarwal one chapter at a time. To improve my calculation speed I started solving simplification and approximation. But my focus was also on the Data Interpretation part. From there, around 10 to 15 questions were my main target.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Oliveboard<strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/sbi-po\/?ref=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Mock Tests<\/a><\/span><\/strong> were a big help.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Reasoning Section<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: &#8211; <\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Puzzles are my favorite part here. I used to practice them every day. But in exams, I always avoided those where &#8220;in a line, some people face north and some south&#8221;. They take a lot of time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>English section<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: &#8211;<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I used to practice error correction every day from various grammar books. Reading the newspaper is very important. At least try to read the editorial part loudly and speedily. At first, while reading you won\u2019t get the meaning, but don\u2019t waste time over understanding a single word or a single line. Then read again. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the second reading, you will get most of the idea. After doing this for a few days you will start to understand in your very first reading.

I failed to recall the events. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then I started taking print out of monthly GK Digest and read them thoroughly.
