SBI PO 2015 Preparation & Discussion

it takes 8 hours for a 600 km journey, if 120 km is done by train and the rest by car . It takes 20 minutes more if 200 km is done by train and the rest by car. The ratio of the speed of the train to that of the car is
A. 2:3
B. 3:2
C. 3:4
D. 4:3

Guys is there any way possible that sectional cut off cross 15.         My attempts: Eng- 21, Res- 25, QA- 20, Total= 66

English: Started with 2 antonyms and 1 syn, found other syn tricky so left. Then moved to 5 sentence completion, 5 error finding and 5 close test. In para-jumble sentences did 3 as I was sure about 1,2 and last statements only.

Res: Moved to reasoning. Very easy, must say. 5 inequalities straight forward, 5 blood relations, again easy, 5 syllogism (easy), 5 seating arrangement in a row was again easy. 3 coding and 2 direction sense. Left 5 floor puzzle and 5 circular seating arrangement.

Last QA: 5 simplification , can't be easier. 5 equations, 10 statement based. Can't get time for 5 series and 10 DI. QA was moderate. And yes, about accuracy, don't know how to measure. But 95% sure about reasoning and QA , english may be 85%.

Hoping for the best.... 😃

Slot 2pm-3pm  : No. of attempts?

Nipat gaye sab??

Mega SBI Prelim Survey 

How many questions did you attempt in SBI Prelim All slots all days ......

bookmark this question if you slot is on Sunday , also to see the stats after we have a sizeable data . and plz be serious 

Mathematics, physics, and chemistry books are stored on a library shelf that can accommodate 25 books. Currently, 20% of the shelf spots remain empty. There are twice as many mathematics books as physics books and the number of physics books is 4 greater than that of the chemistry books. Ram selects 1 book at random from the shelf, reads it in the library, and then returns it to the shelf. Then he again chooses 1 book at random from the shelf and checks it out in order to read at home. What is the probability Ram reads 1 book on mathematics and 1 on chemistry?

1) 3%

2) 6%

3) 12%

4) 24%


3rd shift...27/6 !!

Reasoning-24, Maths-24, English-19 total 67 !!

started wth english !! left reading comprehension!! its not my thing !! synonym antonym was not easy, couldn't do 2 of them !! sentence correction was easy, para jumbles you cannot be sure about 5/5 !! i did 2 !! cloze test was easy !! so was spotting the error !!

Reasoning was easy but puzzles were not !! one more thing, direction sense question was lengthy, try not to attempt if you want sufficient time for maths !! inequality was easy, syllogism was damn easy !! linear arrangement you can solve easily , but do not touch puzzles until and unless you're a master in puzzles !! they are made to waste your time !!

last was quants !! I would sincerely request you to attempt chapter questions later like ci,si,ratio etc they're lengthy,calculative and tricky, doable yes but will definitely take lot of time !! DI was easy, 9/10 easy, one was calculative !! inequality was again easy, but don't get freaked out if you're getting answer x=y or relation cannot be established !! number series was easy, like you can get the logic in maximum three steps(steps as in first subtract all then out of that again subtract etc) , simplification was easy as well !! very easy I mean 😛

I had 5 minutes 45 seconds left and I did a mistake that I gave it to a puzzle, in and out puzzle, couldn't be sure at the end, because 2 answers were none of these option so left all 5, wasted that time, wish I had given it to reading comprehension may be it would've fetched 4-5 marks !!

Slot 3rd 1 pm

English 23 Skipped RC altogether. Easy in all

Quant 20 Could have done better In terms of attempts

Reasoning 20 Played the spoiler. Silly mistake in the floor arrangement question, had to skip after wasting 5 minutes.

I think for those who were acquaint with oliveboard tests would manage 65+ with good accuracy. 

27th june,slot-2

ENG-29,QUANTS-23,REASONING-24. TOTAL ATTEMPTS-76 Overall accuracy betn 92%-94%..What are the chances,anyone??

Eng 22 reasoning 22 quant 17 but not sure abt english rest is ok with 98% accuracy total attempt 61 just hope fpr d best 

I kind of feel that guys attending prelims today and tomorrow will have upper hand over people who wrote the exam last week. It's just unfair and the least SBI could do is atleast change the topics in quant. Well, it is clearly unfair for the person who took the first slot on 20th June. Last week the total average was like under 50. Today people are posting as they have attempted 60+. This really is making me tense. Seems the cutoff does go beyond 55. :/

10:30 slot today. Total attempts: 74.  Quant:25, English 25, Reasoning 24. Paper was easy to moderate. Moderate because of time constraint. Now waiting for the result. Hopefully it will be a positive one.

3rd slot  27/06/15

Total attempts - 72

english -21

apti   -21

reasoning -30

Total 72. Paper was on the easier side.

Aaj saare Rajnikanth ke relatives ne exam diye hai, 😏 60 ke niche to koi baat hi nahi karta. 😛 hum 20th-21st wale bachho ka kya hoga re baba 😨 

3rd slot
