I cleared the RBI Grade B 2023 exam in first attempt. Oliveboard has played a crucial part in my journey. I have given all Oliveboard mock tests and mock interview. The mock interview added immense value to my preparation. I am extremely grateful to the team and I can actually vouch for the Oliveboard Mock Tests. If you even score decently in the Oliveboard Mocks, it will do wonder for you in the actual exam.
Oliveboard's mock tests, both for Phase 1 and Phase 2 are comprehensive and contain relevant questions. It helped me approach questions in a calm manner during the examination, which enabled me to clear Phase 1. Sectional tests for Phase 2 were also well-curated. It enabled me to revise important topics in a much more efficient manner.
AIR-1, Anil Sir was the guiding light behind my preparation. Whatever I did was based on his recommendation. First & foremost, he gave me the clarity on how to approach Phase I & what to change for Phase II. Specifically, his tips on current affairs (the 4-pillar approach) & descriptive writing were immensely helpful as these were the areas where I was lacking the most.
Your videos, especially the explainers and the MCQ series on reports, budgets, & economic surveys, provided me with great practice. I also extracted key content from those explainer videos to include in my notes. I also appeared for mock tests which helped me immensely.
