Ans – Every person has their own strategies so the best advice would be to make your own strategies and not follow anyone in particular.

We at Banking Dreams would suggest the bank aspirants to start their preparations by solving topic wise questions and cover the question types and topics which comprise most of the marks in prelims. Next tip will be to learn the concepts and smart ways to solve questions, especially in which you are having a tuff hand. Purchase the test series and practice well enough before appearing in the exam. Practicing mock test is really very important as many aspirants despite having all the key knowledge of craking difficult problems, often fails to comply with the time limit given in online exams and sometimes also end up wasting their time on the wrong question. If you are weak in any subject, then do focus on it and give some of your quality time to make an improvement. Learn speed maths tricks for faster calculations or learn to do calculations in your mind while solving problems. Last and the most crucial advice would be to stay updated with the current affairs, as the general awareness section in the mains examinations plays an important role for scoring good marks and getting selected for the next stage.
