Success Story of Ritik kumar| Cleared IBPS PO

Ritik kumar’s Success Story

At first I started my preparation for SSC CGL around January 2021 but later on after knowing about the delays in SSC exam results I shifted towards Banking examination. And around April 2021 I started devoting my whole time for the banking topics and concepts preparation.At first I was having difficulty solving puzzles . There were many times I got stucked in simple puzzles and even after 2- 3 days I was unable to solve these.I was hardly able to solve 3 to 4 pre level puzzles/sitting arrangement in 4- 5 hours.Many times I thought of quitting banking preparation because of puzzles but didn’t quit. I kept practicing and after 2 months my puzzle and sitting arrangement solving time got reduced. In quant section at first I covered all arithmetic topics after that I started solving DIs .Overall I daily used to study about 8 hrs.

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

During my preparation I at first appeared for SSC CGL pre examination which I qualified and I had also taken its mains and descriptive paper . After that I appeared for RRB PO examination conducted in August . I was disqualified in pre by 7 marks. Later on I appeared for SBI pre which I disqualified by 3 marks. But after that I appeared for IBPS PO and IBPS Clerk and by God’s grace I cracked both the pre exams. I took both the mains examination and qualified IBPS PO in my first attempt and got selected but I missed the clerk mains by 1.25 marks. That’s my whole preparation journey.

Section-wise Preparation Strategy

English Section Preparation Strategy

As I was an SSC candidate initially so I had covered the grammar by Gopal Verma Sir. But the question pattern of both the examinations are different so I started reading The Hindu editorial for getting a better concept for solving Reading Comprehension. I used to write all the words new to me in my notebook and revise them regularly every day . After that I used to attempt sectional mock for English from PRACTICEMOCK test series.

Quantitative Aptitude Section Preparation Strategy

I was good at mathematics and I was able to solve questions by assuming x i.e. the basic method which was quite time taking. So for learning some short approach I purchased Rakesh Yadav sir’s maths course and covered all arithmetic portion and made a proper notes. For simplification, quadratic equations I followed other teachers on YouTube. At first I used to practice only the questions which were in my notes after that for increasing speed in arithmetic and other topics I regularly gave Quizzes and sectional test in PRACTICEMOCK.Around September I purchased pdf course for practicing more questions on arithmetic and DATA INTERPRETATION. I used to solve atleast 30 arithmetics and 10 DI daily.

Attempt Free Topic Wise Quant Quizzes

Reasoning Section Preparation Strategy

For Reasoning section I followed Ankush Lamba Sir on youtube. To learn new concepts to solve puzzles and sitting arrangement I watched his 1000 puzzle series which is available freely on unacademy. To improve speed I used to attempt sectional test and quizzes in reasoning daily on practicemock. For solving questions I purchased guidely pdf course and adda puzzle book.

General Awareness Section Preparation Strategy

You will not believe but i started preparing General awareness after my IBPS PO pre results. I watched monthly current affairs by Ashish Gautam sir. I covered the 500 + expected questions on current affairs by practice mock and some 6 months capsules. I used to attempt and memorise all qustions in PRACTICEMOCK PO mains test series. This helped me a lot.

Computer Awareness Section Preparation Strategy

I am a B.Tech graduate so I have my computer section very strong. ( However I didn’t need it)

Overall Strategy, Study Schedule & Challenges Faced

Yes ofcourse I followed a proper schedule. And I believe that no-one can crack any examination without following a proper schedule. I used to wake up around 6:00 and after my daily activities I used to read WORD POWER MADE EASY for half an hour daily. For 1.5 hour 7-8:30 am I used to read The Hindu editorial and revise its vocab . After that I practiced reasoning daily for 3 hours starting from 10 a. To 1 pm. Then I practiced quants for 3 hours from 2 to 5 pm. After that from 6 to 8 I used to teach as a home tutor for class 10 students. And in night I was solving quants for two hours and before going to bed I used to revise all the vocabs I learnt in the morning.

Every aspirant faces some sort of problems in the beginning and I think they all have the common problem that is the speed and marks in the mock test. I was getting very low ( 9 out of 40 ) marks in RRB po sectional qaunt test which was quite demotivating. But i kept on practicing and later on I was getting more than average marks in about all sections in practicemock test.

Practice Current Affairs Topic Wise Quizzes

How did PracticeMock help you?

I will not give my complete credit to practicemock because some credit goes to the teachers whom I learnt various topics from. But as I have written in above answers that for mock tests , sectional tests and daily quizzes i was completely dependent on practicemock. This test series i used only for improving my speed. And the more interesting thing about this test series is that it gives you somewhat exam level difficulty pattern.
