Hello Students,
SBI Clerk Mains 2016: Exam Analysis – 26th June Shift I |_2.1

Here we are with the Second Day, First Shift Analysis. Yesterday was the day when most of you got to know the actual pattern of the questions being followed in the exam. Students who had the examination today got some benefit from yesterday’s reviews as unexpectedly no computer questions were asked in the exam. So now, lets have a glance on today’s exam.
Friends, the sections were arranged in the same manner it was published in the recruitment notification and as it was asked yesterday. The Order of section was like GA > English > Reasoning > Quant.


But the sections were named as “test 1”,  “test 2”, “test 3” and “test 4” following the same pattern as it was yesterday.

The story remained exactly same as it was yesterday. Today’s first shift exam was also of moderate to difficult level and it was not a typical clerk exam as was conducted earlier. The Quant Section was Difficult and English was bit Moderate. There were no questions from Computer in any Section. Everyone said that Reasoning and GA was only savior in the exam.
