When did you start preparing for the Competitive Exams and how was your Preparation Journey
I began my preparation with PM free quizess for all sections. I have almost solved all free quizzes of prelims puzzle available. Along with that I also solved Quants and English free quizess… After completing free quizzes I decided to give PM paid mocks of previous years and then went on to give the current mocks too. The specialty of PM is hidden in the framing of their questions. The puzzle section is tougher than what is asked in exam so it helps aspirants in getting ready even for worst case scenarios . The English section gave me confidence as I knew that if I excell at PM English section, I will easily excell in exam too. The most beautiful part which very people know about PM is the free GA quizzes. It’s wonderful. It’s crisp and I chose its quizzes for last minute revision. I would thank PM mocks for helping me clear SBI PO exam. I would ask aspirants to use PM mock and get exposure to latest pattern of questions.

Did you face any hurdle as well? How did you overcome it?

To overcome that I made self notes of silly errors that I generally make and tried to not repeat then while solving other questions.

Keep improving yourself, with time Percentile will also improve.
Did PracticeMock help you in your success? Please elaborate
Yes, 100 %. I took an edge in English section primarily due to PM quizzes and their mocks. And final GA quizzes of PM helped me recall current news quickly before exam. Their questions are same either in free or paid quizzes. In paid ones one gets latest updates questions but the free ones are no less than paid ones. So I would thank PM that they have maintained consistency in quality of questions.
