English Language – Vocabulary, Grammar and Comprehension

• Though generally English language is one section in almost all the jobs related exams, the level, the types of questions, the stressed topics, vocabulary type and the basic structure of the paper differs.
• The candidates should know that they cannot rely on the prelims for the SBI PO Mains Preparation for English section.
• The questions are going to be more challenging and the type of questions asked in the exam will also be different.
• To prepare for the Vocabulary the candidates can make their own FLASH CARDS on which they write the words with the meanings and phrases to depict the usage.
• Revising these flash cards the first thing in the morning study session or while on the go (coaching classes, office, any other place) will make learning a bit easier. Give them a look while going to bed and you don’t need to learn the vocabulary books for the exam.
• Another effort will be to read the online journals on financing, banking, news on business, finance and banking sector. This will make the SBI PO Mains Preparation better. As these articles and news will have words which are specific to the recruitment and will be a help for the final rounds of GD and Interview.
• To prepare the Grammar, needless to say, you should refer to some of the established names such as Wren & Martin, TMH publications’ books for the high school grammar. They are full of comprehensive exercises which will prepare the candidates for the exam.
• Comprehension can be practiced in the online mock tests.

General Awareness, Marketing & Awareness

• As suggested in the previous section, the articles and news on Business, Banking and Economy will prove helpful for SBI PO Mains Preparation for this section too .
• The candidates should note that though the section name is General Awareness, the higher probability is for the questions based on the general knowledge which is relevant to the banking and economy.
• It is very important that the candidates are well versed with the latest trends in banking, economy and market as the knowledge will prove helpful for clearing so many rounds.
• Reading the newspapers, following forums, joining online discussions, installing apps and customizing the news briefing on your smart phone will make the learning less mundane.

Reasoning

‘To reason with propriety is the only reason we are here’ is said by none, but sounds good (just for laughs).

• See, the performance in the reasoning section will be largely dependent on the IQ level of the candidate but there is nothing in the world that is unattainable for a devoted and determined mind.
• Hence, refer to the previous year papers and you will be able to sort the topics on which the questions are generally asked. Practicing the reasoning section from a good aptitude book will also be enough.
