[Raman Vij]

As you asking for the tips to crack the bank examination here are some tips that may be helpful to you in cracking the Examinations

Reasoning Section

If you are good at reasoning, you can allocate 20 to 25 minutes for it -- 35 seconds per question to attempt all the questions.

Focus on your accuracy, as there is negative marking and you will be wasting time if you don't prioritise the right questions.

If reasoning is not one of your strengths, reserve it for the end and allocate no more than 15 minutes to it.

Verbal/ English Section


If you are good with English communication, you will be able to complete this section with flying colours in 10 to 15 minutes.

I would recommend that you always start your IBPS PO exam with this section only.

An attempt of 18 questions with good accuracy is enough to clear the cut off.

This section should not require more than 15 minutes.


For Reading Comprehension questions, you should first only take a cursory look at the paragraph, then while solving question, read that particular portion of the passage carefully.

For Cloze Test, if you are confused between two-three options, then simply move on to next question.

By the time you complete the passage, you should be able to figure out the right answer.

For 'Fill in the Blanks' type of questions, process of elimination is the best method.

For Spot the error /Sentence Correction, speak the sentence in your mind, whichever sounds perfect is your answer.

Quantitative Aptitude Section

How to attempt

If quant is not your strength area, you should attempt it after the Verbal section or in the end and allocate around 20 minutes for it.

Your aim should be to clear the cut off.

Types of questions

As have been said before, you need to start with easy and scoring questions.

You can easily find 15-18 questions of this type.

Some topics which fall in this category are Simplification, Problems on Ages, Percentage, Average, Simple Interest, Profit and Loss, TSD, Ratio & Proportions etc

Then there will be time consuming questions.

You should attempt these questions only after you have attempted the easy ones.

These questions can decrease your accuracy and eat away your precious time, however there will be 12 to 14 questions of this type, so you need to attempt them as per your comfort level.

Data Interpretation

Use approximation as much as possible, especially if options are not close.

Do as more mental calculations then using pen and paper.

Round off the numbers wherever possible.

Avoid doing long calculations; they can eat up lot of your time, without giving that much reward.
