“The expert in anything was once a beginner”

Efforts, efforts and efforts… The never ending saga for success.

In my student life, there was a continuous push forward from my parents to work hard. But, I guess, in the shadow of innocence and immaturity, I was not that interested to pay attention to their statements. It was a misconception that life is easy without hard work. But then after a few years, I was mature enough to realize the importance of hard work as it definitely pays off. What I am trying to convey is attitude for that hard work and dedication should be cultivated from the very beginning in order to develop the right ethics in the direction of success.

The following break up of questions will help you in efficient time management:

We would suggest to attempt English first followed by Reasoning because this approach will keep you in the right track of time management. 20- 25 minutes can be an ideal allocation to this section which implies approximately 35 seconds per question. Try to figure out the questions which are less time taking and attempt them first and attempt the time taking ones at last. On the contrary, if you are among those people who are not that good at reasoning skills, we would suggest you to go for this section at last and ideally allocating 15 mins.

• Solve time consuming questions at last: The questions from the topics given below are the most time consuming ones. Try to attempt these questions at last:

• Seating Arrangement
• Complex Puzzle
• Floor Puzzle
• Input Output Machine

• Solve sample papers: Solve different standard sample papers and mock test which will give you an idea of the pattern of questions asked. Moreover, you will get to practice and this will increase your pace and accuracy.

“Good time management is a good motivator, from my perspective”- Charles Smith

In the exam hall, I was all set to start with the paper. The examination was of 1 hour and the first thing which came to my mind was “One hour is more than enough. I can complete the entire paper”. I started with the questions which seemed tough and lengthy. As the questions were really tough, I was stuck at many points and ended up wasting a lot of time gazing at the diagrams of the questions, randomly guessing the solutions and scratching the head of my pencil on the forehead. The remainder from the teacher which was “Last 10 mins” was like a last minute monster. I was very confused of what to attempt and what not. I still recall the experience as one of the “worst time management” experiences.

Time management: An essential tool for giving your best performances in any field. Sensing the importance of time management in crucial examinations like IBPS PO Prelims, we have got some of the most promising time management tips for you.

“Behind every brilliant performance there were countless hours of Practice and preparation”.

In my college days, there was a friend of mine who used to score the highest in “Quantitative Aptitude” section in the entire classroom. I used to constantly wonder how she could solve the Quant questions so effectively when I was not able to do so. I tried to mug up all the formulae and was still unable to attempt the quant section like she did. When I asked her about the secret, the answer was ‘a few hours for dedicated practice’. We believe that ‘practice and practice’ can be the only strategy which can help you overcome all anxieties regarding aptitude questions.

We come across many dialogues in our day- to- day life like: “The Aptitude section is the toughest one”, “If I had a 10 mins more I would have cleared the paper”, “I wish the aptitude section was a bit easier in every exam”.

We have come up with a few tips which will help you to score outstanding marks in the “Quantitative Aptitude” section of the IBPS PO Prelims examination.
