The difficulty level of banking exams has increased this year. This can be reflected in all bank exams since SBI PO and followed by BOB PO, etc. Since IBPS formulates the exam paper for these exams, we can also expect the IBPS exam to be difficult.However, the good news is that this difficulty can be easily solved with good preparation strategies. Since you have a lot of time, you can easily do proper justice to each section . This is important because there will be sectional cut off in this exam.Let’s see each section in Preliminary exam of IBPS PO individually.English:The questions in this section can be broadly divided into four groups that evaluate different skills. These are:Reading Comprehension: Passages focused on topics like Banking & Economy, Business, Social Issues etc. Fact. Inference and Theme based questions.Grammar: Error Spotting, Phrase Replacement/ Sentence Correction, Fill in the Blanks.Vocabulary: Error Spotting, Phrase Replacement, Cloze Test, Fill in the Blanks.Verbal Ability: Para Jumbles.To successfully answer questions in this section, practice each topic separately so as to give your full attention.In Reading Comprehension -Keep your reading speed to the maximum. This is because you should aspire to completely solve all comprehensions in the exam.Don’t shy away from difficult questions. Some questions do not have direct answers and are more inference-based. However, they will make you completely ready for the actual exam.Reading Comprehensions are time consuming but you can easily solve if you have enough practice.Make sure you are familiar with all types of questions that can be asked.In Grammar -Practice learning to speak English the way you write it. In Spoken English, it is easy to commit grammatical errors without noticing. Additionally, Speaking English the writing way makes you more conscious and you are better able to find out your own mistakes.Ensure you are familiar with the parts of speech since they are the basic blocks guaranteeing a proper structure to any sentence.Also use sentence diagrams for remembering all the knowledge of grammar you have.Cover topics such as Tenses, Articles, Prepositions, Subject Verb Agreement, Parallelism, Degrees of Comparison, Sentence Construction, Phrasal Verbs, Pronouns, Adverbs, Non-Finite Verbs, Common Errors, etc.In Vocabulary -Increase your vocabulary daily by learning, whenever you are bored or have nothing to do, to read as much as you can memorising spellings.Make use of flashcards since they are very helpful.In Verbal Ability -Having a good vocabulary is beneficial. Therefore, you should work on your vocabulary since it is useful for multiple topics in the English section.The key to solving these questions is to spot the theme of each jumble. Understanding the context makes it easier for solving verbal ability questions.Reasoning:Since there are no grammar rules and formulae as such in this Reasoning, you can score a lot of marks here. All you need is a number of tips and tricks to provide you sufficient tool-kit for your studies.Coded/Mathematical InequalitiesIn Mathematical Inequalities, know what each symbol means.Focus on the details because you can lose marks otherwise.Coding & DecodingPay attention to the numbers and alphabets in the given code.Check whether the sequences in the questions are in an ascending or descending order.Look for rules or patterns that the questions might follow. This will give you definite answers due to conceptual understanding.Seating Arrangement (Circular & Linear)In Circular, do questions of Uni- & Bi-directional problems on circular, square, rectangular, hexagonal tables.In Linear, do questions of Single or Double rows facing each other/ away from each other/ in the same direction.Developing a good grasp of concepts is what you can do to ace this topic.Blood RelationsQuestions related to Blood Relations are very easy if you pay attention to the details. Hence, all you need is properly analysing given information.Directions & DistancesThese types of questions are less time consuming but there is a possibility of high accuracy.Before solving, consider all eight directions. Because this will be helpful in solving easily.Assume you are facing North since this will simplify the sum for you.In rotation based questions, rotate the person in clockwise or anticlockwise direction relative to the direction they were facing last according to the question.Data SufficiencyModerate accuracy is possible. Hence, you need intense practice here.Questions in this topic can be about Ordering & Ranking, Blood Relations, Coding in Fictitious Language, Circular Arrangements, Directions & Distances, Ages & Birth-dates.Arrangement & Pattern, Double Lineup, Scheduling, SeriesThey can be quite time-consuming sometimes. Therefore, have a proper time management strategy.Practice clean-charting and a step-by-step methodology for all these questions.Additionally, do the questions you are familiar with first because your time will be saved.AnalogyThe task in analogy is to compare to infer similarity in the given components.Practice many questions since they will help you in knowing how to identify relationship between two elements by using their similar aspects.Also give sufficient time to solving these questions since they can be tricky and the relationship will not be straightforward.ClassificationEnsure your vocabulary is good enough because you will have to differentiate between the given concepts.Pay attention to the words.Quantitative Aptitude:While preparing, as will be understood by the tips below, there are too many topics in IBPS PO Quant section.
