Kokila Chokkanathan
The sbi PO exam is highly competitive, and even a few marks can make a difference. Experts suggest avoiding common mistakes and focusing on quality rather than quantity. Here’s a step-by-step approach:


1. master Reasoning Through Daily Practice

  • Dedicate 2 hours every day solely to reasoning.
  • Practice continuously for 6 months without skipping.
  • Focus on solving problems accurately and quickly, rather than covering too many topics superficially.
  • Consistency is key: The more you practice, the stronger your reasoning skills become.

2. Use the Relaxation Technique Before Studying

  • Before starting your study session, close your eyes and relax for 15 minutes.
  • Clear your mind of distractions and past thoughts.
  • Study in 1-hour focused sessions, followed by a 15-minute break.
  • Repeat this cycle to increase productivity and retention.

3. Stick to One or Two Quality Books

  • Avoid buying and referring to too many books; it only wastes time.
  • Choose 1-2 standard books for each subject (Reasoning, Quant, English).
  • Read and revise these books 20–25 times to gain complete mastery.
  • Depth is more important than breadth—mastery over a few books is better than skimming many.

4. Improve english with The Hindu and a Single Magazine

  • Read The Hindu newspaper daily, focusing on the editorial and opinion sections.
  • Make short notes for vocabulary, phrases, and important points.
  • Buy one quality magazine for the month, read it thoroughly, and revise regularly.
  • This builds reading comprehension, grammar, and vocabulary over time.

5. Apply the Same Technique to Quantitative Aptitude

  • Select 1–2 standard books for Quant as well.
  • Practice and revise them repeatedly (25–50 times).
  • Focus on accuracy and speed, not just attempting more questions.

✅ Key Takeaways

  • Consistency > Quantity: Daily practice in small focused sessions beats cramming.
  • One subject at a time: master one or two books thoroughly for each subject.
  • Relax and focus: Meditation or relaxation improves study efficiency.
  • Newspaper and magazine reading: Builds english skills and current affairs knowledge.
By following this simple 5-step approach, your preparation will be structured, focused, and result-oriented, increasing your chances of clearing the sbi PO exam in the first attempt.
