IBPS CWE PO/MT V (2015-16)

anyone here given Practicemock Mains test series? If yes, How was the difficulty level?

How was today's exam ? Was it  so easy , everyone is doing 65+ or am I dumb to attempt only 66 yesterday 😞

Kuch yaad aya??

I)  x^2 + 4x-21=0

(II) y ^2 + 2y -35=0

roots are x= 3, -7  y= 5,-7 wht should be d relation...?

Which is a good "website" for Finance/Banking related current affairs. Questions like "SBI Life insurance has lauched "Smart Humsafar"". What are the features of this app??

Yesterday I was happy with my 62 attempts but now I am seeing that almost everyone is doing 70+............it's really disappointing...

 preliminary over..

Koi jara ye bata do ke mains me english ke liye kese prepare kare. Reasoning aur maths me to marks aa jate hey ache khase. Bus ye english me  Bus 15-20 bich me aa jaye mains me bahot hey.. 

Pls suggest good book , plan for english section 

IBPS walo thoda to pattern change kar dete questions ka. Let alone pattern, mujhe to questions bhi jaane pehchaane lag rahe the. Ye over attempt ka concept samjha do mujhe. 

Buddies who made 1pm today. Please share your error correction experience. I made it quick wanna make sure i made it sound there. I remember there one question with  has/ have error and wanna know others. and thanks to peoople who shared close test its heck exact same

Waiting for that post jo yeh kahe ki USNE AAJ APNA EXAM REVISE BHI KIYA HAIN.....

Puys i have seen candidates here attempting 60+. me too attempted 67. i just wonder what could be cut off ? will it be high or low than sbi-po? i am asking this question because someone said that cut off will not cross 45. but looking at no. of attempts i think cut off will be high. should i worry or start preparing for mains? want suggestions from @aviswati @Gobuaa @raring_utk @rahul.rks9 @CRICENDULKAR @rahuldhote17 @mailmishrar  and all others. Plz give a review of yours.

one small doubt do questions repeat or completely different from todays next week say english ?? passages or cloze

Anybody remember cloze test asked in 4th October 2nd slot?

Vibhor can do as much work in 2 days as Suyog can do in 3 days and Suyog can do as much as in 4 days as Kamal in 5 days. A piece of work takes 20 days if all work together, how long would Suyog take to do all the work by himself?

in today last slot, english jumbling,
after 1st line,2nd line on america,then 3rd on greek,4th on china,then 5th line isnconclusion and last line has question. Am i right?

All the connoisseurs of series, could you kindly share some ideas on what approach should one take towards series? some basic structure that i can mug up or so? Assume that the speaker here has got no idea about the subject matter and has till date never bothered to attempt any, for fear of loss of time. (each, even the easiest of them all consume atleast 5 minutes).

Somebody remembers parajumble from 1st slot today

So we till now we have seen many who have crossed 70 bar and few even touch the 90. But see they are rare. People on PG are real competitor and serious aspirants, even in between those are few who attempted that much. There is hardly 3k people on this thread and more than 60% are dormant. So, people with those attempt in rest 40% are really few and when we talk about total number of aspirants which will be around 19 lakhs, this figure is almost negligible. Apart for 5-6 post on PG, rest all said they attempt around 60, which is quite decent attempt. Don't get panic with those post, instead prepare for mains. PG is meant to help each other, don't get frustrated due to it. I am pretty sure that all those 40% are already in mains, so let's start preparing for next phase.

Best of Luck

Apologies for being this late in providing review as I reached home just 15 mins back

3:30 pm slot-

Reasoning:

Pretty easy (barring the puzzles), atleast 25 questions were easily doable. If one's good at solving puzzles and also willing to invest time, go for them I'd suggest (Attempted 30 in 20 minutes)


English:

RC was killing, tried reading the 1st few lines, by then only I knew it won't be a good pay back so didn't continue, even the syno-anto weren't very easy. Parajumble took long to solve but was doable. I did NOT find the error correction ones or cloze test easy at all! They were enough to make one perplexed whether to mark the answers which you (read as 'I') think to be correct, or not. Unless someone's intuition goes well with English section in exam hall, attempt minimum in it would be my suggestion. (Attempted 15 in 17 mins. I know its horrible as I wasted too much time deciding what to do only to leave most of the questions finally)

Quantitative aptitude:
DISCLAIMER: I'm extremely weak in this section hence the review might not match with the ones given by others.

I was left with around 23 mins which indeed was a bad decision for someone so clumsy in Maths. Started only to leave 7-8 questions unanswered. Could start answering only when 15 mins were left. The inequalities, one DI and surprisingly few of the series were the ones I could solve. The miscellaneous questions were NOT AT ALL direct, atleast the ones I could decipher with my panic-stricken eyes. I literally thought I will be out owing to not clearing sectional in QA but the mentioned parts helped me attempt 17.

Total 30+15+17=62

Note: Paper was NOT easy (or may be I underestimated it's level). People attempting high are either genius (which I genuinely believe in) else may God help their accuracy in English.

Note 2: Do strategize which section/questions to attempt first and where to invest time the most. The pattern stays more or less same as that of yesterday.

Wishes!


For Geo/Mensuration guys (If it repeats)

(r+h) = 20 

TSA = Given

Volume asked.

Just put in formula and u ll get r and then h and hence Volume
