WORRIED ABOUT HOW TO PREPARE FOR REASONING SECTION FOR SBI CLERK 2018, don’t know where to start preparing from- take it easy on yourself don’t panic just follow up the following tested methods and you will surely secure higher than your expectation. So let’s get started
HOW & FROM WHERE TO PREPARE??
1.Start from the basics: I have repeated it ever since always start from the basics. Besides reasoning is a very interesting subject. It will increase your thinking ability. And when you start from basic you do not get confused on the latter stages.
2. BOOKS TO FOLLOW: There are number of books in the market but out of them the best books for reasoning are:
Arihant- This book is great as it will help you learn from the very beginning, and when you progress with time it will help you gain confidence. This book has lot of examples and tests too. Though the book is big but it is the best in market.
R.S Aggarwal: This book is also very famous. It’s has good study material and examples too but there are few pass worthy errors.
Kiran publication: I have not personally read this book but I have heard that it is a good one
3. Study according to syllabus: If you are a beginner then Please! Do not waste your time on reading and preparing the entire book because that’s not even going to be in exam. You only have to prepare Logical reasoning and verbal (no need to cover non-verbal). Correct me if I am wrong
4. Marking system: Every topic has different weightage so if you are in a hurry, start preparing from the topics which have more cookies attached to them- Sitting arrangement (linear , circular) , Puzzle, coding decoding and other
5. Previous year exams papers: After you have completed most of your syllabus or even not you should solve previous year question paper, it will not only help you practice but also increase your ability to solve the paper.
6. Mock test: I have said a number of times for any computer aided test attempting mock tests is must. By taking mock test you will get the feel of real examination hall, your time management will improve, you will get the result as soon as you submit the test its 21st century come who won’t use this beautiful creation. Respect to the person who so ever made it.
7. Keep revising: Do not make the mistake of leaving preparation as soon as you are done with the syllabus, because this type of exam is above syllabus and same pattern we are used to follow till graduation. This exam is all about hard-work and practice.
KNOWN USEFULL, DIFFERENT AND TESTED TIPS (from the students who- cracked the exams last year) & TO GET SURE SHOT SUCCESS IN REASONING- UPTO 80% score)
a) TIME MANAGEMENT: The most important and most herd about method is time management. Now you must be thinking we know that is important for every exam so what’s different in the SBI CLERK exam, yes there is a huge difference normally the pattern of paper we are used to give us time limit of up to 90minutes for every 100 question but in SBI the time given is 60minutes for every 100 and trust me if you don’t have time minute this time is gonna fly like nothing. So follow me up on this one blindly.
Correct Division of time: As you are aware the time limit in preliminary examination mere 60 minutes. So start with
English - maximum time 15 minutes
REASONING- maximum time 20 minutes
Maths- 25 minutes or the remaining time
NOTE- you can change the series of subject in accordance to your priority but this has to be the time division you keep in mind at the exam time.
b) DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME: Normally what we have seen is that student waste too much time on one question, even if they have prepared well for the exam due to limitation of time they lag behind by a number or two. Please it is a request do not repeat this mistake. Go for the question if it strikes in your mind in the 1st go, do not read it again and again. Every second counts and perhaps SBI conducts this exam once a year so you surely do not want to mess up with your future.
c) Skip the question even if you are 99.9999999999% sure: There are going to be 5-options for each questions and there are high chance that you get confused between 2-options which will land you in dilemma. Securing no marks is any day better than -0.25marks.
d) Mark for review: So here is a solution for your 99.9999999% surety answer just mark the up for review. In this way if you get time in the end you can review the question and the if you are 100% sure you can go for it (but normally you don’t get)
e) Negative marking: By now you must have got used to with this poison NEGATIVE 0.25. This poison can land you in serious trouble if you carelessly mark your answer so be-awake while marking.
f) Concentrate: Yes! Concentrate while you are in examination hall. I know you have a lot of thoughts in your mind while you are taking the test- like when will it get over, I have to leave early go for shopping then, go for movie yah yah, but please don’t distract yourself it is once in a life time opportunity because every year it is going to get tougher and tougher. Better now than late.
