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.

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.

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.

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.
