If you are preparing for the IBPS Clerk exam, you might be wondering how to plan your study effectively. The IBPS Clerk exam is one of the most popular and competitive exams for banking aspirants in India. It tests your knowledge and skills in various subjects such as Reasoning, quantitative aptitude, English language, general awareness and computer knowledge.
To crack the IBPS Clerk exam, you need to have a clear and realistic study plan that covers all the topics and helps you revise them regularly. Here are some tips on how to create an IBPS Clerk study plan that works for you.
The first step in creating a study plan is to understand the exam pattern and syllabus of the IBPS Clerk exam. The exam consists of two phases: Preliminary and Main. The Preliminary exam has three sections: Reasoning Ability (35 questions, 35 marks), Numerical Ability (35 questions, 35 marks) and English Language (30 questions, 30 marks). The total duration of the Preliminary exam is one hour. The Main exam has four sections: Reasoning Ability and Computer Aptitude (50 questions, 60 marks), Quantitative Aptitude (50 questions, 50 marks), General/Financial Awareness (50 questions, 50 marks) and English Language (40 questions, 40 marks). The total duration of the Main exam is 160 minutes. You need to qualify both the phases to get selected for the final merit list.
The next step in creating a study plan is to analyze your strengths and weaknesses in each subject. You can do this by taking mock tests or previous year papers and checking your score and accuracy. This will help you identify which topics you are good at and which topics you need to improve on. You can also check the weightage and difficulty level of each topic and prioritize them accordingly.
Based on your analysis, you need to allocate time for each subject in your study plan. You should divide your time into three parts: learning, practicing and revising. Learning means understanding the concepts and formulas of each topic. Practicing means solving questions and problems of different types and levels. Revising means reviewing what you have learned and clearing your doubts. You should allocate more time for your weak subjects and less time for your strong subjects. You should also balance your time between the Preliminary and Main subjects.
To execute your study plan effectively, you need to follow a daily routine that suits your schedule and lifestyle. You should set a fixed time for studying every day and stick to it. You should also set short-term and long-term goals for yourself and track your progress regularly. You should avoid distractions such as social media, TV, games etc. while studying and take breaks in between to refresh your mind.
One of the most important parts of your study plan is to take mock tests regularly and analyze your performance. Mock tests will help you assess your preparation level, speed, accuracy, time management and strategy. They will also expose you to different types of questions and patterns that may appear in the actual exam. You should take mock tests at least once a week and review your mistakes and weak areas after each test. You should also compare your scores with other aspirants and improve your rank.
The last step in your study plan is to revise thoroughly before the exam. You should revise all the topics that you have learned and practiced in a systematic manner. You should focus on the important formulas, concepts, tricks and shortcuts that can help you solve questions faster and accurately. You should also revise the current affairs and banking awareness topics that are relevant for the General/Financial Awareness section. You should avoid learning any new topic or concept at the last moment as it may confuse you.
