With the SBI Clerk exam dates fast approaching, it is essential for candidates to start their preparation with a focused and strategic approach to ace both the preliminary and main exams. Here, we provide a comprehensive guide to the best preparation strategies for the SBI Clerk Exam.
SBI Clerk Prelims Exam Strategy
The SBI Clerk Prelims exam consists of three sections: English Language, Numerical Ability, and Reasoning Ability. As most aspirants are aware, the SBI Clerk Prelims exam is qualifying, and time is a crucial factor in this stage. To secure a spot in the SBI Clerk Prelims cut-off list, it’s important to approach the exam with a well-planned strategy. The Prelims mainly test your speed across various sections, and there is no sectional cut-off—only an overall cut-off to clear. Therefore, focusing on improving your speed and accuracy in each section is key to performing well in the exam.
SBI Clerk Mains Exam Strategy
The SBI Clerk Mains exam consists of four sections: General/Financial Awareness, General English, Quantitative Aptitude, and Reasoning Ability & Computer Aptitude. Once you qualify for the Prelims exam, you have a solid understanding of the concepts, which will play a crucial role in your Mains preparation. Unlike the Prelims, where speed is the primary focus, the Mains exam is more about accuracy and in-depth knowledge. Therefore, it is important to focus on strengthening your concepts, practising with precision, and ensuring you can apply these concepts effectively to solve more complex problems in the Mains exam.
