This will be a long post on how I tamed SBI PO 2016.
Before I actually start, I'd like to tell you that this was my third attempt in as many years. I've not done any coaching, and I've prepared for Banking, while working in an IT company.
Exams that I've appeared in-
1. SBI PO 2014: 69/200. Didn't qualify.
2. NICL 2015: Didn't clear Quants cutoff.
3. NABARD 2015: Didn't bother to check the marks.
4. SBI PO 2015: 101/200; 131/250; 34/50. Total: 56.xx. 2 marks less than the final cutoff.
5. RBI Grade B 2015: 90/200. Couldn't clear Quants cutoff.
6. UIICL 2016: Qualified for Interview, Couldn't make it to the final list. Marks awaited.
7. RBI Grade B 2016: Scored 136/200 (70 in GA, 29 in English). Couldn't clear Phase 2, as I didn't know a thing about the FM paper.
8. SBI PO 2016: Cleared! Total: 60.78/100. Sectional- GA: 30; English: 21.25; Reasoning: 27.25; DI: 19.75. Descriptive: 41; GD: 12; PI: 26.
I'd want to let it out in the beginning itself that this strategy may or may not work for everyone. I'll keep it section wise, so that it is easy to comprehend. And, this will be of what I did, and how it can help anyone, I hope you find it very simple.
Also, know it right away that to crack any bank exam, you have to be master of some trades, if not all. That means, you've to make any two sections strong, any two. My two strong sections were GA and English, in DI/Quants I just think to clear the cutoff and in Reasoning I try to clear the cutoff somehow, and then try to add as much marks as possible.
1. General Awareness-
Since my childhood, I've had this habit of reading newspapers, so I've always been aware about the world. If we talk about Banking Exams' perspective, it is important to have a great grip on Current Affairs. There are various sources, but I'd suggest the following-
A. Bankers Ad_da Daily Updates
B. Aff_airs Clo_ud Daily Updates
C. Gr_ade_stack Daily Updates
D. GK_To_day Daily Quizzes
E. Aff_airs Clo_ud Daily and Monthly Mock Quizzes.
F. Test_book App Quizzes.
G. Newspaper (Most important),
Current Affairs should be read of last 100 days from the day of exam, not less and not more.
You can choose The Hindu or The Indian Express. There is no need to go for a separate Financial newspaper. If you follow the above diligently, I bet you'll get 100% marks in your Current Affairs part of GA. Also, this won't take more than an hour for you to complete it. Also, it is really important to know what to read and what to ignore. I'd come up with a different post on this (If you want me to).
The other part covers Banking Awareness. For this, it is a must to go through the FAQs on the RBI website. The list of FAQs which I’d suggest you to read has been given below, you can go through it, if you want to.
Once you're done with this, go through the Banking Awareness Modules of GK_Today (the link is given below), it is freely available to read online on their website. There is no need to buy any Arihant book. If you have this OCD of having a book, then you can go through Disha Publications, which I believe is freely available on the internet as a PDF.
For revision, you can go through any capsule, from A_f_f_a_i_r_s C_lo_u_d or Gr_ad_es_ta_ck. Please avoid Ban_ker_sAd_da Capsule of any kind and its Banking/Financial Awareness Quizzes. There are more errors in them than the questions (Personal Opinion).
The other source that you can use in addition to RBI FAQs and GK_Today Module (these two are compulsory if you ask me), is the Mrunal Videos on Banking which are available on YouTube. You should go to the Economics Playlist and watch the lectures from L1/P2 to L1/P9. This will be more than enough.
The next part of this section is Static GK. For this two sources I'd suggest - Wikipedia, and any Static GK Capsule from either of these – Exa_mp_un_dit or Aff_ai_rs Cl_ou_d or Gr_ade_sta_ck. DO NOT go for Ban_kers_Ad_da, please. You should focus on Indian Static GK. Like Dams and rives, National Park and WLS, Nuclear, Thermal and Hydro Power Plants, CMs and Governors, Capital and Currency of Countries, HQs of major Organizations.
This is mostly 4-5 questions out of 40 or 50. So, you can guess the cost benefit ratio.
P.S. I don't believe in notes making especially. But, it is a very personal thing. If you are comfortable with that, you should follow. I've never made any notes, for any subject for that matter during my preparation.
2. English Language-
You may or may not relate to this. I've a very sound basic, as I studied in an English medium school. I don't know no rules, I just know if the English is right or wrong, when I read it. For people who don't have their basic set right, I'd suggest you to follow Wren & Martin/SP Bakshi.
Also, read either The Hindu or The Indian Express. I used to follow The Hindu for news and Editorials. And, The Indian Express for Editorials and the "Explained" section (These will help in GA, Descriptive and Interview too).
Vocabulary is something that is built over a period of time, and not overnight. It requires patience and hard work. The best way to widen your vocabulary is reading. Read anything. A newspaper, a magazine, an article on lipstick, a food blog, a novel. It will just increase your vocabulary.
If you read a word, say, "unequivocal", go to the internet and search the meaning, and try to learn it. Trust me, you cannot learn it in the first go. I bet, that you'll come across that particular word again in the next 2-3 days. Learn it again, make a sentence using it in a context that suits the word in your head and then you'll never forget it, all your life.
For English, it is really important to practice questions. You can opt OB or PM, but never opt Ca_reer Po_wer. I opted both OB and PM, and these two mocks were my only source for English.
3. Reasoning-
There is a total change in this section as majority of the questions now being asked are Puzzles/Seating Arrangement. So, someone, like me, who is not good at solving them, has to rely on other miscellaneous questions, like Syllogisms, Inequality, Blood relations.
In SBI PO Prelims, I couldn't solve a single puzzle, but I made sure that I do all other questions with cent percent accuracy, and that alone, helped me sail through the Prelims. I'd suggest you to attempt as many questions as possible for this section. Practice and practice alone will help you in solving those puzzles.
You can follow OB and PM Mocks, Af_fa_irs Clo_ud questions, Exa_mpu_ndit questions. Also, I've heard a lot about this "Kaashvi Puzzle PDF", I cannot say much, because I've not gone through it.
For Analytical Reasoning, I can suggest you MK Pandey.
4. Quantitative Aptitude/DI:
I, personally, just try to clear the cutoff, somehow! So, my target is just to go for DI and Quadratic, and while I skip and next, I keep one of my eyes closed as I don't want to get distracted by those easy-looking word problems, which I am never able to solve. I simply go to the DI part, and start solving.
Also, it is important which question to choose and which to skip in DI. Try to solve questions which have minimal calculation. A set of 5 questions will have 2 easy, 2 moderate and 1 difficult. Try to do those 4 only, and skip the difficult one, as it will take a lot of time. Follow this in all three or four sets of DI available in the Exam, and you can easily score 12-13, which is generally the cutoff. So, the people who just want to clear the cutoff, this is the easiest way to do so. The sources for DI are mocks. The best sources you'll find. OB and PM mocks have very good DI questions.
Now, for people who want to score good, I'll suggest just one book, Quantum CAT by Sarvesh Verma. Anyone, who has no understanding of Quants can also read it and learn Quants. It very lucid and to the point, with many questions. Stop following books like RS Aggrawal, it is of no use, at all.
And, please, practice as many questions as you can, because Quants is something where you'll forget your concepts if you don't practice.
Special Mention: MOCKS-
I'll recommend OB and PM again. They're the best in the market. Please DO NOT opt for Career Power, it is full of mistakes. Same goes for Mahe_ndra's. Don't waste your money of CP, Mahendra's and Test_book.
Also, please do not get disheartened by less marks in mocks. Mocks are for 2 reasons only- One, to see how many can you attempt in a pressure situation in one hour, and two, to know different types of questions that can be asked. Marks in mocks matter nothing. Nothing at all. Just don't let these mocks dent your confidence.
I'll give you an example. I took OB mock one day before my UIIC exam, and all I could score was 87/200. Next morning, I attempted 177/200, and cleared the written. Had I been demotivated with my mock score, I'd have never attempted that much. Mocks, sometimes, are unnecessarily tough.
Have faith in your abilities, please!
P.S. I’ve not used any book during my preparation, so the books that I’ve mentioned are based on others’ experiences.
