IBPS PO Exam Pattern and Syllabus
The first and foremost point to keep in mind is time management and order of attempts. Start attempting questions that needs mostly application of formulas or simple calculations, like LCM, HCF, Average, Percentage, Profit and Loss, Simple and Compound Interest. Most of the candidates consider reasoning as their strength. The trick to attempt the maximum number of questions in reasoning section in minimum time is to attempt the difficult puzzles in the end. The IBPS PO English language section paper is to test a candidate’s understanding and hold over the language. One can easily score good marks in the English language section if one’s basic concepts are clear.
Don’t get stuck in any question, if you are unable to answer question in 30 seconds then start next. For each incorrect answer there will be a negative marking. So guesswork is not at all recommended!
