How to Prepare for SBI PO 2017 Mains: A Last-Minute Guide

Thank you for your question. With only 15 days left before the SBI PO Mains, it is crucial to focus on honing your existing strengths rather than learning new material. This last-minute guide aims to help you make the most of the remaining time before the exam.

Key Points to Focus On

Practice and Master Your Strengths: Continue practicing your strong areas and perfect them. Avoid introducing new topics that could throw you off balance. Understand Basic Concepts: Ensure you have a strong grasp of basic concepts. Even complex questions can often be simplified using fundamental knowledge. Mock Exams: Participate in mock exams to get used to the exam environment. Set a realistic time constraint during these sessions to simulate the actual exam conditions. Ignore Mock Marks: Don't pay attention to the scores in your mocks. Instead, focus on your performance and consistency. Enhance General and Banking Awareness: Regularly read and revise general and banking awareness topics. Utilize resources like the BankersAdda Hindu monthly review and their banking awareness capsule, and consider reading RBI’s FAQs if you aim to go beyond the basics. Avoid Static General Knowledge: Focus on current committees, indices, rankings, and new schemes rather than outdated general knowledge. Read Daily: Read the The Hindu daily newspaper to stay updated with current affairs. This will not only help in your SBI PO preparation but also in your overall awareness. Write Daily: Practice writing a letter and an essay daily to improve your descriptive skills. Gather relevant data on trending topics before the exam to be better prepared. Consistency: Maintain consistency in your preparation. Analyze your mistakes and avoid repeating them. Join Mock Test Providers: If you haven't joined any mock test provider yet, consider joining reputable ones like PracticeMock, Oliveboard, and Testzone. Exam Day Strategies: Familiarize yourself with tricks to manage the exam. If a question seems too difficult, move on to the next one and return later if time allows. Focus on accuracy over speed.

Remember: The key to success in the SBI PO Mains is not just knowledge but also managing your time and stress effectively. Good luck!
