Top 8 mistakes to avoid for SBI PO 2022
- Don’t start preparing for SBI PO just a few months before the exam. Start preparing as early as possible so that you have enough time to revise the entire syllabus and prepare well for the exam.
- Don’t try to mug up the entire syllabus. Understand the concepts and then solve as many questions as possible to test your understanding.
- Don’t neglect the current affairs section. This section is very important and can help you score well in the exam.
- Don’t attempt too many questions in the exam just for the sake of attempting. Attempt only those questions which you are confident about and can solve correctly.
- Don’t lose your cool during the exam. Stay calm and focused throughout the exam.
- Don’t forget to revise all the topics before the exam. This will help you in recalling the concepts quickly during the exam.
- Don’t rely on guesswork. If you are not sure about the answer to a question, leave it and move on to the next question.
- Don’t forget to attempt the sample papers and previous years’ question papers. This will give you an idea about the exam pattern and the type of questions (and their level) asked in the exam.
