Hello everyone, I’m S L Lavanya, I started my preparation in 2018, When I started, I knew nothing about banking,like everyone, I started watching YouTube videos for preparation strategies, some helped, some just wasted my time, because of which it took me a bit long to crack.

Which exams did you appear in till date and what were their result

I appeared many exams since 2018, all the banking exams which were held, and cleared more than 16 prelims since 2019. When it comes to mains, I knew that I was lacking, and only consistency can help me to crack mains.

Section-wise Preparation Strategy

English Section Preparation Strategy

English section is my strongest section, but still I prepared for it every day. Since I cannot lose marks on something that I know I can score the most. For this section, I suggest aspirants to RELIGIOUSLY FOLLOW practicemock’s Minimock section(3-4) a day. In the beginning, you will feel boring and not Continuing it, but I ASSURE You that this is only what you need to do, to ACE this section. I regularly attempted minimocks and attempted full questions in Both the exams that I cleared. And this was the game changer for me to crack 2 exams. Since all the other sections are more or less same for everyone I believe.

Quantitative Aptitude Section Preparation Strategy

Quants was my weakest section, and I cannot say much about it. I felt lazy while attempting arithmetic questions, and eventually used to leave it. For preliminary, it’s always about simplifications, QE, DI and number series, but for mains I only Did data interpretations questions from PracticeMock’s mains mocks, and this was sufficient for me since majority of questions in this section are DIs only. So if you’re also weak in quants, you can rely on DI, but you have to be very strong in this approach, and must know how to crack any DI that comes before you in the exam.

Reasoning Section Preparation Strategy

For reasoning, I Religiously followed Mr. Dhruva dhanker sir ( virtuous YouTube channel) Regularly. He cleared my advance reasoning skills that I used to solve wrongly earlier. Many people usually leave reasoning section since they THINK they are strong in this section, but in reality, they are doing it wrong. So you can blindly follow him, and for the practice questions, I again followed practicemock’s mains mock + affairscloud’s reasoning quizzes. Also, I would suggest that, while doing reasoning section in mains, be very calm, so that you solve every question correctly in one go.

General Awareness Section Preparation Strategy

For general awareness section, I followed affairscloud weekly pdf, I could not do general awareness on daily basis, so I did it on weekly basis. But followed it regularly and consistently.

Overall Strategy, Study Schedule & Challenges Faced

I did not followed any routine, or time tables, instead I used to make daily targets. I used to make 5 to 6 targets and tried to complete it before going to bed. It usually included small targets like “English minimocks-3 no. ” “Quants 2 mains DI” Like this only, which seemed easier for me to complete before the days ends. Yes!! Since it took me a bit long to crack, many of my friends used to think that I’m wasting my time and will eventually end up doing nothing. They used to taunt me whenever I used to talk to them, which usually never bothered me, since I knew I can do it. Apart from this, failing 16+ prelims made me think that maybe I’m knocking the wrong door, maybe this is not for me and many such things. I used to dream about having this job and had MANY sleepless nights. But I ALWAYS HAD the feeling that I Will definitely achieve it. And finally I’m working in my dream organization, state bank of India 😉

How did PracticeMock help you?

Yes! I only followed practicemock and Oliveboard during my preparation and insisted everyone to follow this mock only. Since there are few mock tests which lacks quality and they’re are erroneous as well. You should trust only quality mocks for your preparation.

Message for the Fellow Aspirants

The message which I want to share to my fellow aspirants is that, please be very dedicated to the preparation, And don’t underestimate this, please be consistent in your efforts, do small things consistently, don’t worry if you studied for only 4 hrs, but make sure you learnt and practiced “something” That day, which would eventually make a big difference. Take small targets and try to compete within the day. When you take too much difficult targets, it makes you lazy to start and eventually you will end up doing nothing. Always remember, “the man who moves mountains, start by carrying small stones”. All the best everyone. Sab bankers banna, bad me decide kar lena kuch aur banna hai toh, par pehle banking ke liye mehnat kar lo 🙂
