10 Time
Management Tips for IBPS 2017
  1. Decide the
    sections
    that you are going to attempt first in the exam.
    Ideally, you should pick up the one that is easy and you are most confident at.
    This will build up the confidence as well as help you complete the paper faster
  2. Do not waste
    more time in a particular question. If you are not confident, skip and move
    on
    to another question
  3. Try
    attempting the General awareness and English section first as these two
    are considered easier and less time consuming
  4. Plan slightly
    more time for quant and reasoning as both the sections need time and
    more complex
  5. Remember
    quant formulas and practice mental math so that you don’t waste time in
    scribbling or calculation on paper
  6. Attempt as
    many IBPS mock tests you can before the exam. After each mock
    test analyse
    not just your performance but the time needed as well and
    focus on your weaker points.
  7. For English
    section, pick up one comprehension first and attempt it carefully and if
    only time permits attempt the other one
  8. In reasoning
    and computer aptitude, solve the easy ones first like inequalities, data
    sufficiency, blood relations, number series etc.
  9. Choose seating
    arrangement question
    over puzzle as it is relatively less time consuming
  10. For quant
    plan maximum time and attempt the easier and more confident question
    first.
All the best
for the exams!
