 Dear Students

After the horrifying experience of SBI PO Mains 2016 Exam now it is extremely important that you maintain your focus on IBPS PO and do not let your attention distract from your goal.

SBI has taught us a lesson, showed his superiority once again.

All the Strategies broke down infront of the questions.

There was a complete silence after the exam was over.

We all know SBI is followed by IBPS so now it’s time, to rise up again and fight back. So, we are providing you strategy to Crack IBPS PO 2016.

“Self-Study is the best study”. You must have listened to this famous phrase often from many people. But can this phrase be justified everywhere, especially when there is a subject matter of competitive exams like Bank exams? Certainly not!

We usually came across many coaching centers at nearly every side roads providing their intelligent knowledge to more than 15 lac students per year. “Is it possible to crack bank exam without coaching classes?” Every other person, in INDIA, is found as a victim of the ‘tug of war’ in the competition.

This competition race has compelled aspirants to spend thousands of money and join a number of coaching centers so as to get proper direction to achieve their respective goals like IBPS Exam.

But what happens to those, who legs behind in the race of competition just because of the lack of money or time. Those, who are however well knowledgeable and intelligent students but due to lack of proper guidance via experts, they deprive of to get jobs.

Let’s have a look on Exam Pattern IBPS PO Pre & IBPS PO Mains 

Come to The Zone

Banks are changing their pattern of selection, from previous year it had introduced two tiers Examination (Prelims & Mains). The levels of questions are getting tricky and tougher day by day. So don’t ever dare to repeat your college life experience of one night preparation before exams in these banking exams.

Some of you plan to prepare for the banking exam in 15 to 20 days before exam date. As of now this is not going to happen. Yes, it is true that there are many who will tell you that we have prepared in only 15 days or a month, but you know yourself better than anybody else so prepare your own strategy, think twice before get set go.

Don’t get demotivated or afraid as only 10% out of 100% candidates managed to get into the final selection. This is not at all the matter of concern, which is, IS WHY?

Many candidates doesn’t even know what is their aim?, what they want to do? They simply fill the form and appear in the examination.

During preparation for competitive examination, some candidates focus only on 1 or 2 sections as many are afraid of ENGLISH Section or any other section like QUANT.

Many join coaching institute for time pass and engage themselves in social networking websites.

Candidates buy Online Mock Test but do not take it seriously and never analyse their performance in online test.

Few fails, because of their over confidence. So beware of all these barriers.

 

How to Crack IBPS PO 2016 Exam?

With proper planning, preparation, and the right strategy you can crack IBPS PO 2016 Exams in 2 months.

Know where you stand!

Firstly, in beginning of the preparation process, sit down and with a focused and methodical approach, start with an honest analysis of yourself. What are your strengths? Where are you good at? What are your areas of improvement? Where do you need more time to practice? This analysis can be done by taking up an Online Mock Test.

Take the test as though you were answering the real one. Take it seriously. And then, when you are done, see the patterns of your results. What key points come up? Are you weak in vocabulary? Do you take more time in reading comprehension? Do you have mastery of quantitative fundamentals? Are you able to complete the mock test by the required time? Do you blank out and get nervous?

Key factors to watch on –

1. Yes, mock tests do help in your own way.
2. Take every mock test as if it’s the actual exam.

Mock Test score doesn’t matter much. The biggest myth that candidate have in their mind is that if they are not scoring good marks in Mock Test, they feel that it’s waste of preparation and it is end of road for them. They cannot qualify the actual exam with such low scores.

Mocks is just to analyse where are you lacking and how can you improve. One of my friends who prepared with me never qualify section test in any mock. But, he never stop and keep practicing. Today he is a Bank PO in a Bank of Baroda.
