CRACK BANK EXAMS

According to INDIAN BANKING PERSONNEL CHAIRMAN, by 2014 Indian nationalised banks (other than State bank of India, and its associate banks) will recruit almost 7 to 7.5 lakh jobs. It's a wonderful opportunity to those who want to enjoy their career in banking sector.
Merely desire never helps to enter into the banking industry. Three to six months dedication preparation and orientation towards exam will give fruitful results. Here are a few tips on how to prepare for this competitive exam.

Reasoning: Expect the reasoning, other areas of questions are part and parcel of academic career. So it is the new one for all the candidates. Various that are being asked in this area are

? Coding-decoding
? Analytical reasoning
? Inequalities
? Directions
? Data sufficiency
? Questions on calendar, date and time
? Symbols-notations and last but not least
? NON-VERBAL REASONING.
Questions are of simple type. All these can be answered very easily, but here time factor is very important. So candidates need to understand concept clearly and design his/her own technique.

For instance questions from Alphabet test have been given along with short cut method.
Pattern of questions: which letter is 21st in alphabets?
Sol: it's easy to find the answer for the above question. Simply write alphabets A, B, C, D, And so on and now count. The answer is 'U'. But regular method consumes time. In this examination, hardly 40-50 seconds is available to answer. So student has to adopt a shortcut method.

SHORT CUT METHOD: Remember "EJOTY" they are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 letters consecutively. Now one can answer easily if they remember well. If examiner asks 21st letter, no need to count from A. one can directly start from T. because to is 20th letter, and the letter asked was 21st one.

For all the chapters students have to devise their methods and need to practise those methods thoroughly.

ARITHMATIC: the questions in this area are of at the level of 8th to 10th. Such as AVERAGES, PARTNERSHIP, SIMPLE INTEREST, COMPOUNT INTEREST, TIME AND DISTANCE, TIME AND WORK, PROBLEMS ON TRAINS, BOATS AND STREAMS, PERCENTAGES, RATIO AND PROPORTION, MENSURATION, PERMUTATION AND COMBINATION, PROBABILITY.. etc. to answer these questions students are required to understand the concept properly, and they can follow short cuts. Thousands of methods are available, furnished in various books in the market. But the short cuts can be applied well only when one is good at concepts. Hence its better to open school standard books and revising once again before going to short cut techniques.
ENGLISH: Questions will be on COMPREHENSION, ERRORS, CLOZE TEST, JUMBLED SENTENCES, RAPID FILLERS, SYNONYMS, ANTONYMS, PHRASAL VERBS, and IDIOMS. One needs to thoroughly prepare various grammar rules and their application in writing. For this any high school grammar book is sufficient. But its better to read regularly English dailies in order to understand quickly the questions in COMPREHENSION part.
