Go through Previous Year papers of IBPS-RRB
We understand that the exam pattern has changed but still, the first activity you need to do is to go through the previous year papers of IBPS-RRB. Make a list of topics which appeared in the Numerical Ability and Reasoning Ability section of the previous IBPS RRB exams along with their weight age perspective. Also, take note the difficulty level of the questions. This will help you align your preparation in the correct direction.
Practice MCQs side by side
As we know practice makes a man perfect. So, consistent and dedicated practice is indeed the key to success in any entrance exam. You must practice MCQs side by side while preparing the theoretical part. This would facilitate better understanding of the concepts and also help you learn application of concepts. Practice different types of questions of each topic from various offline and online sources in order to get exposed to different varieties of questions.
Attempt Online Mock Tests Consistently
Attempting Online Mock Tests will help you boost your preparation level at each stage. This will also make you comfortable with the exam software. You will learn how to stay concentrated on a computer screen for long durations. Review your performance after each mock test and track your strong and weak areas. Work on strengthening your weaker areas. Also, enhance your speed and accuracy by attempting large number of speed tests.
Work on accuracy and Time Management
Time Management is a highly crucial aspect of online exams. Your success or failure in the exam is solely dependent on your Time Management in the exam. In order to learn effective time management, the only technique is to attempt online Mock tests on a consistent basis. Attempt a large number of Topic-wise, Subject-wise and Full-Length Tests in order to learn effective Time Management. While attempting the exam, take note of the amount of time spent on each question and each section and the number of questions that you get wrong each time. Strive to improve your score with each attempt.
Avoid Blind Guesswork/Make Intelligent Guesses
In case of questions that appear completely alien, avoid answering such questions through blind guesswork. Try to answer unknown questions by intelligent guesswork. Go through the question and review the options carefully and try to filter out the ones, which most appropriately satisfy all the question conditions.
Efficiently implementing the above-listed strategy will definitely help you to get through the IBPS-RRB Prelims 2016 with a good score.
Practice and confidence is the key to clearing the exam so stay positive and study hard. Good luck!
