Hello and welcome to exampundit. As the opportunity, in the name
of IBPS 2017, is already on its way to knock your doors, it is better we
prepare ourselves to welcome and make the most of it. IBPS is changing its face
and coming out with new challenges. Today we will be putting out a strategy
about how you can catch hold of that one job from the pool of jobs that IBPS is
offering. Of course, there might be some changes here and there because the
strategy varies from person to person but this will definitely help you plan
out yours.
Once a wise man said, “A good warrior always knows what is waiting
for him in the battlefield.” So,
it’s important we know the detailed pattern of the IBPS PO as well as IBPS Clerk
2017 exam.

The exam will start with one
section and you cannot skip to other section until the sectional time is up
neither can you decide the order in which the sections will come to you,
although last year it was in the same order as given in the IBPS notification
but you should be mentally prepared for any surprises.

Negative Marking in IBPS

There will be negative marking
0.25 in both the IBPS PO and IBPS Clerk exams for each wrong answer you mark so
you need to be extra careful while choosing the answer. To our relief, there
will be no mark deducted for the questions you leave unmarked.

Now, that we are aware of the
challenge ahead of us we need to determine the strategy step by step. But
before walking over to that, there are two things that we need to be very clear
about.

1) IBPS does not expect you to be the master of all
subjects. Rather a jack of all would be way better.

Step 1: – Take a mock test!
Regardless of whether you are a new entrant to this competitive world or an old
player, you need to see your weak and strong points clearly before digging into
the pool of preparations for IBPS exams. And do not take this test as exam.
Just go through every question in every section and solve only the ones that
click in first instance and analyse your speed. Also, go through the detailed
analysis/solutions after you complete the test. And note down whatever score
you got. This is just the start and there is no looking back.

Step 2: – Make a list of
topics in all sections according to most important (the ones you cannot
afford to skip), important (the ones that will help you increase your merit),
least important (the ones you can give a shot but not obsess over if they seem
to be a bouncer).

to be a bouncer).
Step 3: – Set a time table.
It’s important to be organised if you want to achieve your goals. IBPS exams
demand a lot of dedication. Discipline has helped countries conquer wars. This
is just an examination for your dream job. So, figure out with which subject
you want to start your day or what is the best time for you to study and fix a
time table accordingly and be sure to follow it.

you want to start your day or what is the best time for you to study and fix a
time table accordingly and be sure to follow it.
Step 4: – Track your time. For this, you should make a habit of attempting a quiz of the topic you’ve
studied earlier that day. Let’s just say that 3/4th of your preparation time
should be dedicated to studying a topic and the rest 1/4th should be for taking
the quiz. Just put a timer in your phone and try solving all the questions of
that small quiz.

Step 5: – Accuracy is more important than speed in any IBPS exam. Now, let us put it this way. Suppose
you do 80 questions out of hundred and you are 99.9% sure that all the answers
that you have marked are correct, there are very high chances that you secure
75 or more marks for sure. On the other hand, if you attempt 100 questions but
40 of them are guess work then your marks will come down to 50 or less than
that and that too with no surety. So, avoid guess work in any IBPS exam.

Step 6: – Start learning the short
tricks of the topics you have already aced. This will help you save time
and put you ahead of your competition. IBPS exams have become all about smart
work over hard work over the years.

Step 7: – Revise daily! With the increasing pile of GK, we kind of
forget the importance of revision. Can you forget a thing you read daily for 60
days or 40 days or even 30 days? For learning a thing by heart, 15 times reading is more than enough and it
is scientifically proven. And we never get any current affairs of the last 10-12 days prior to the IBPS exam. This
just makes the point crystal clear.

just makes the point crystal clear.
Step 8: – Mock tests are essential to keep a track of your progress
and also encouraging yourself when you see a hike in your marks. Pat yourself on the back for every hike or
treat yourself with your favourite chocolate. The motive is to keep
improving day by day. Trust us, even a slight improvement test after test will
result in huge results in the actual IBPS exam. Not to mention, it helps you to
figure out sections or topics you still need to cover.

Step 9: – Keep up with the
modifications. The new patterns of almost every question are being
introduced with each IBPS exam. You need to keep up with the changes so it does
not come as a surprise for you in your next exam. Also, IBPS tends to follow
SBI PO exam pattern. So to ace IBPS PO one should go through the SBI memory
based papers, the new types of questions introduced and the level of questions.
It will help you triumph half of the IBPS battle.

With all the steps above being

this coming exam season. So, without wasting time let’s get to work because our
dreams are calling us!
