Exam Tips

  • ●Know the exam pattern and syllabus: Candidates must know the exam pattern and detailed syllabus for IBPS PO examination before kick-starting the preparation. By going through the IBPS PO syllabus, they will understand which sections and topics are used in questions.
  • ●Time Management: Create a time-table to allocate 5-6 hours of daily studying across topics. Allocate more time for topics that you need improvement on and relatively less time for your strong sections. It is important to make a realistic timetable so that you can follow it well.
  • ●Make Reading a Habit: Reading and writing are critical skills for succeeding in the IBPS PO exam. The English Language, General Awareness and Computer Aptitude sections require a lot of reading. Read newspapers, magazines, books and yearbooks daily which will help not only to build GK for the General Awareness section but also make you accustomed to reading passages for the English Language section. You must also take down notes as you read- a new word you have come across, points about an important event, etc. which will help you later for revision. Practicing writing is important because the IBPS PO exam has a descriptive English section as well.
  • ●Clear your Concepts: The key to excel in the IBPS PO exam is not just remembering formulas, important information, etc., but also the ability to apply your analytical skills. This means that candidates must have the basic knowledge of every concept and topic in the syllabus- understanding concepts and not just formulas for the Quantitative Aptitude section, understanding the theory behind every chapter of the Reasoning Ability section, and having the knowledge of basic English grammar for English Language section, are very important.
  • ●Practice IBPS PO sample papers and previous year question papers: Your IBPS PO preparation will be incomplete if you do not practice regularly. Solve IBPS PO practice questions once you finish preparing a chapter, and then move on to solving sample papers. While practice questions, mark the questions you find difficult and revise them later. Solve previous year question papers, in a time bound format, to understand the balance between accuracy and time management.
  • ●Revise regularly: While making a preparation plan for completing the syllabus, you should allocate time for revision of chapters and topics as well to ensure that you retain what you have learned.
  • ●Take full length IBPS PO mock tests: Appearing for full length mock tests will help you get used to the pressure of taking an exam in an allocated time. Taking mock tests will help you to assess your performance and guide you to work on your weak areas.
  • ●Choose the right books: Considering the different sections for IBPS PO Prelims and Main examination, it is important that candidates choose the right selection of books to ensure that they cover all the topics well. The following section provides a list books recomended for preparation for IBPS PO examination.
