The First day Third slot of SBI PO prelims exam is over. Here we bring you the Third Slot Analysis which will help you understand the composition of SBI PO Pre exam. There are 3 Sections in SBI PO Pre exam namely English, Reasoning and Quantitative Aptitude.
We have seen that there were many similarities in the questions asked in Ist and IInd slot. In this IIIrd slot we have found that the overall difficulty level of the exam was moderate . The pattern of this paper was similar to last year’s SBI PO prelims exam and also to the first two slot’s paper today. As the paper was moderate we can say the paper was also very tricky. There were 5 puzzles asked in this third slot just as the previous two slot papers, that is an important point to note. But those puzzles were of moderate level with a tricky approach i.e. you need to pay attention while solving the puzzles and choose wisely.
The total time is 1 hour, so clearly Speed, Accuracy and Planning is surely needed to have good attempts.

With good accuracy students will score well.There were no coding decoding question asked in this slot and also there were no questions from Syllogism. Just as the previous slot 5 Puzzles were asked and they were tricky as in no direct information can be easily inferred from the directions given in them.
