Tips on how to plan your preparation for upcoming mains exam together

When it comes to preparing for Bank/Insurance mains exam one has to be very strict with his strategy and study plans that he has made. It is important to feed your concentration to boost up your knowledge. Remember speed, accuracy and time are the main factor to clear the mains examination. How you can attain all of the three mentioned? PRACTICE..!

Talking about the Reasoning Ability section, Puzzle and Seating Arrangement requires much of your attention and practice as they would carry the maximum weightage in the exam. This part would be asked in all the above mentioned exam hence your focus should be to clear the topic, which will benefit you in all four. Rest of the topics like, input-output, Syllogism etc should also be given preference.

Moving to Quantitative Aptitude section, which is common to all the aforementioned exam can be your saviour if you are very good at solving complex and tricky equation. In this section maximum weightage is given to the Data Interpretation And Analysis which may or may not be based on the miscellaneous topics like profit and loss, boat and stream, compound and simple interest etc. Thus if you have practiced even the complex questions in the miscellaneous part then DI would be no nightmare for you.

English Section is the one where some students fear the most due to its raising bar with each examination passed. Now a days, banking has raised the difficulty level of the section but nothing is impossible to achieve. If you practiced with firm determination you can easily score good marks in it. Questions asked and topics covered under this section are similar for every banking examination hence you can easily prepare for each exam together with ease.

Moving on to General Awareness section, it either can be your best or worst part in the exam if you have not paid any attention to it from the begining. Well, current affairs of last 4-6 months are being asked in almost every exam. If you have a habit of learning CA part on daily basis, you are prepared for all the four exam simultaneously. Besides preparing CA, one should also prepare banking awareness, financial awareness (for Insurance exam) from the date when you start your preparation for it.

Also prepare for the descriptive part, for the mains examination. LIC aspirants have the advantage of having no descriptive in the exam.
