You must be really careful with the choice of questions you attempt as each mark can make or break your goal of securing a job in the Bank. And don’t panic if you encounter a tough question, just maintain you calm and concentration.
We’ve observed in the recent exams that the tough questions make many students trip. This simply means that many students get panicked on getting difficult questions. Patience plays a key role in dealing with such situation. So while attempting the exam your choices of questions attempted and your accuracy will matter a lot. And be patient and if you feel that you are unable to get the answer to the questions then move on because, in the end, the accuracy of your attempts matters more than a high number of attempts.

You must be careful of negative marking. Do not take chances while attempting questions because if you do not maintain accuracy, then your high number of attempts might go in vain. Do read the instructions. First read the questions carefully than work on the answer, as sometimes we skip the rules of questions like – in questions examiner is asking for ‘not follow’ but we go with ‘follows’ option as we have done practice with ‘follow’ option. And also do go through the Memory Based Paper of previous year as it can help you a lot in understanding the pattern and type of questions that you’ll encounter tomorrow.
These are some general instruction which you MUST follow, you don’t really want to be stressed tomorrow on The Day of Examination.

At first attempt the questions you find easy to approach and solve. Finishing them off will boost your confidence and keep you at bay from any stress.

4. Be careful while choosing what to attempt and what to skip.
Your every move, your every decision will make or break your deal so it is very important that you choose very carefully what you are going to attempt in the examination. Don’t be tempted and get engrossed in any particular section or question for too long.

5. Don’t take anything on your ego
Well, it is quite probable you may feel you know the concepts to solve a question just too well yet you are unable to crack through it in the exam time, so just skip it, and take another question. Skip a question if you feel it is too time consuming or you might not be able to get it right, at the end you have to score enough to clear sectional and overall cut off. Let nothing kill your speed! so keep a track of your time and don’t get stuck anywhere.

6. Be wise and spare some extra seconds to carefully read the instructions.
It is good to be fast and save time when you can but you have to be wise and careful as well. Instruction or directions of a question are very important and you should read the instruction of every question you are about to attempt. What if it was something you’ve already practiced but asked in a twisted way! You can actually save marks by reading directions carefully.

7. Do not ignore simple questions; they may require you to be cautious.
Simple or easy level of questions can be your savior in SBI PO Mains, so don’t just get engrossed in the difficult ones. Read the instructions carefully, and attempt simple or easy level questions to gain plus points in your scoring bag.

8. Avoid making ‘silly mistakes’, they’ll cost you a year.
You’ve been longing for this opportunity to be a probationary officer in the most sought after, State Bank of India. So tomorrow keep at a bay from making silly mistakes. Carefully solve and analyse question, do not presume thing, just read the direction and be careful as you will have negative marking.

9. Get the thought of ‘cut-off for SBI PO Mains 2017’ out of your head.
If the examination is of an easy level, it will be for everyone else appearing tomorrow, so is the case even if it turns out to be of difficult level. Tomorrow is not the day for you to think of cut-off. First, concentrate on the exam and making a decent number of attempts according to its difficulty level. Rest things will fall into places. So don’t overburden yourself and refrain from diverting your concentration.

Your confidence will sail you through tomorrow. No matter what is the difficulty level you’ll face tomorrow just stay calm and believe in yourself. With a composed mind you’ll be able to crack through the examination, so sleep well and don’t stress yourself out. If you’ll say ‘I Can and I Will’ nothing can stop you from achieving your aim.
