SBI Clerk Preparation

Check out important tips and tricks for your SBI Clerk preparation:

Be thorough with the syllabus	It is important that you know which topics are included in the SBI Clerk syllabus. Once you have an idea about the syllabus, you can plan your SBI Junior Associate preparation accordingly. You must also remember that certain topics are more important than others. This means you have to spend more time on them in order to achieve mastery over them.
Create a realistic timetable	Now that you have an idea about the syllabus, you have to create a timetable and stick to it. Allocate time-based on your strengths and weaknesses, i.e. spend more time on subjects/topics you are weak at. If your Numerical Ability is weak, spend more time solving numerical questions. Having a smart and realistic timetable will make your SBI Clerk preparation easier.
Read regularly	Reading regularly plays a crucial role in competitive entrance exams like SBI Junior Associate. Your SBI Clerk preparation timetable must have a separate time allocated for reading newspapers and magazines. Spend two hours daily on reading. This will help you the most in your SBI Clerk preparation for English Language section, General Awareness section and Computer Aptitude section. Note down important points and new words as you read.
Understand the concepts and the theory properly	Rather than learning the shortcuts to solve a problem, it is important that you understand the related concepts and theories first. This is very important for sections like Numerical Ability (or Quantitative Aptitude) and Reasoning Ability. Once that is achieved, you can learn the shortcuts. Your SBI Junior Associate preparation must not have any loopholes or gaps. For English Language section, learning the theory, i.e. the basic grammatical rules is very crucial.
Remember the formulas thoroughly	The Quantitative Aptitude section has innumerable formulas to remember. Also, it is important that you learn the derivations of the formulas too and practice them regularly. Doing this during your SBI Clerk preparation will help in better retention. Also, this will help you to derive a formula in case you forget it during the exam.
Practice diligently	Every time you finish a chapter or a topic, solve SBI Junior Associate practice questions from that chapter/topic. The more you practice, the better. Start with the easy ones and slowly move on to more difficult questions. Mark the questions you find difficult to solve/answer and revise them later. Regular practice is a must in your SBI Junior Associate preparation.
Improve your time management skills	High level of accuracy alone cannot guarantee a high score. Accuracy at the cost of loss of time will lead to a low score. So, your SBI Junior Associate preparation must look after your time management skills as well. There must be a balance between speed and accuracy. Once the basics are cleared, try to solve practice questions in a time-bound manner. If you are spending more time on a particular question, you must revise and learn the related concepts.
Revise regularly	Like any other exam, SBI Junior Associate preparation too needs regular revision. Otherwise, you will forget what you have learnt. Allocate 2 hours daily for revision.
Take SBI Clerk mock tests	Once you have finished the entire syllabus, take full-length SBI Clerk mock tests and assess your performance. Identify your weak areas and work on them to improve. Embibe gives a detailed analysis of your tests which makes it easier for you to know where you need to focus. Also, your SBI Junior Associate preparation will be incomplete if you do not solve SBI Clerk previous year papers.
