REASONING

Topics for Reasoning:

  1. Statement and conclusion (syllogism, which conclusion is true)
  2. Statement and conclusion (based on inequalities, mathematical equations)
  3. Statement and conclusion (which conclusion is true)
  4. Sitting arrangement (circular, row, building floor) – These are the tough ones. My approach was to attempt them at the last once I have gone through rest of the questions in the reasoning section.
  5. Input-output machine – Practice a lot. It will help in recognizing patterns quickly. Target full marks in such questions.
  6. Statement and inference
  7. Statement and assumption
  8. Blood relations
  9. Data sufficiency (can you answer the question with one, two or three statements)
  10. Name-place-color-thing mapping – Again time consuming. Should be attempted at last.
  11. Direction test
  12. Series completion – pictures

Prepare topic wise quick problem solving tips and tricks and practice a lot of questions of each topic.

GENERAL AWARENESS:                                           

This part is highly factual and you need to cover questions related to banking sector. Those preparing for civils tend to ignore this part, assuming that they know enough current affairs which is very risky as the kind of facts asked in this exam are very different from civil services exam. You will definitely clear the cutoff but it is highly likely that you fail to score really good. So, keep in mind that scoring high in this section assures you that you clear the overall cutoff even if you are marginally above cutoff in comparatively tougher sections of Quant and Reasoning.

It is for this reason that we would recommend going through at least previous 6 months current affairs. The factual nature of current affairs makes them very confusing, so make sure you revise them plenty of times. This will make sure that you score above average in this section.
