allotted time on each section.
SBI JUNIOR ASSOCIATES (CLERK) 2019: 100 Days
Comprehensive Study Plan and Strategy
You can easily utilize provided time on Reasoning and Quant, but the time allotted for English is
comparatively high so, now it becomes important to utilize that time properly and score good in
English as well.
While attempting exam first target the topic in which you are strong and confident.
If you stuck in any question, puzzle or DI don’t waste time on that, move to the next one and then if at
last you left with time review that particular question.
Time plays an important role in competitive exam so, it is important that you should be in the habit of
doing small calculations and some topics of reasoning should in mind only.
All the above points are very important from exam point of view. But first and foremost thing that you
need to concentrate on is "PRACTICE".
Strategy For Reasoning Ability
This section is scoring one if you have control over basics.
The trick to attempt maximum number of questions in Reasoning Section in minimum time is to attempt the difficult puzzles in the end.
There are some topics go for them first likes Syllogism, Coding Decoding, Inequality, Alpha-Numeric-Symbol Series, and Numeric Series based questions from which the set of 4-5 questions are there so, if you master these topics then defiantly you will be landing on the safer side.
Then try to start with puzzles that appear easy to solve and proceed with moderate and difficult puzzles in a similar way. So, this is how you have to manage to attempt this section.
Practice more and more puzzles because weightage of puzzles is more. Almost every time a puzzle and sitting arrangement comes with 4-5 questions and there are 4 sets. So, overall 60% of the paper comprises of puzzle and sitting arrangement.
Don’t get too engrossed in any question in the actual examination as you’ll have other questions to attempt as well. If you feel they are too time consuming, a smart choice will be to skip them.
Strategy For Quantitative Aptitude
Quantitative section is completely based on practice as in this you required good speed with accuracy, which can only be achieved by practice.

Comprehensive Study Plan and Strategy
Calculation becomes important part to increase speed so focus more on speedy calculation by doing is mentally and by short tricks.
Learn the basic concepts first and start with the easy level of questions. Trick to score marks in Quantitative Aptitude Section is to attempt the questions from the
topics like Quadratic Equations, Simplification and Approximation first and then going for Number Series.
After that, go for Data Interpretation as this is the topic which comprises of approx. 50% of the paper. Also, now the DI is coming which is based on arithmetic topics so it become important to have good command on some of the arithmetic topics like Time and Work, Time, Speed and Distance, SI and CI.
Rest questions will be from miscellaneous topics like CI & SI, Time and Work, Pipes, and Cisterns, Partnership, probability, Mensuration, etc. So if you are good with miscellaneous topics then you can go for this too. Strategy For English Language
English is not a subject but a Language and one needs proper time in order to get used to a Language. So every student has his/her own strategy to score good in this.
As we know English of banking exams is more based on your reading skills so improve it by daily reading relevant thing rather than mastering yourself in grammar as you don’t have that much of time.
If you are good at vocab and reading then attempt the reading comprehension first and proceed with Cloze Test and other miscellaneous topics like Error Detection, Para Jumbles, Phrase Replacement, Double Fillers, etc.
But if you are good at grammar, attempt Reading Comprehension in the end. The Reading comprehension too should be attempted in a way that vocab and phrases based
questions first and then the questions that need a deeper penetration through the paragraphs.
The important topics for cloze test and error detections are subject verb agreement, preposition and verbs. These topics may help you do some other questions too that will be based on grammar.
