IBPS PO Mains Preparation Strategy

Reasoning Section Approach 

• If you are done with your concepts and topics now, you should start taking sectional mocks to evaluate your sectional performance. You can take them bi-weekly. Try to finish the sectional test before 45 minutes as you progress.  
• Don’t leave any topics of puzzle or seating arrangement. These two are going to carry the maximum marks in this section. However, this doesn’t mean you should be easy on another topic. Practice a few puzzle related questions daily to boost your confidence.  
• Critical reasoning isn’t as hard as you think. All you need is proper guidance. A step-based protocol for attempting such questions. You can read our detailed blog on – Critical Reasoning Tips and Tricks (Bank Exams) 
• Computer Aptitude can act as a decider between aspirants who qualify and the ones who don’t. It is not wise to undermine the computer aptitude questions. You can read our detailed blog on– Frequently asked Computer awareness questions 

English Language Mains Strategy 

• We hope you haven’t stopped with the regular reading practice.  
• For many aspirants, the clerk exam would have given them a reality check about English that it matters. You might crack the prelims without doing good in English, but the mains exam will not be that kind. You will have to give time to the English section.  
• 2-3 Reading Comprehensions will improve your overall English preparation 
• Error detection questions are a must. You should practice 10-15 questions daily.  
• Practice cloze test questions as they may come with a good weightage of marks. They can be hard to understand conceptually, but enough practice will make you comfortable.  
• Other topics, including sentence arrangement, para jumbles, etc., are also important.
