J&K Bank PO Main Exam Strategy
For the main exam, you will still have enough time to prepare, so we are not giving you a day wise schedule, however, it should be noted that, after completing 2-3 chapters, it is necessary that you take a mock test on those topics to see how far you’ve understood the chapters.
All the sections from Prelims are a part of the J&K Main exam as well, so along with reading books for J&K bank Prelims exam preparation, you need to learn two more sections for the J&K Main exam. So here are some preparation strategies for those sections:
Computer Aptitude
- Make sure that you cover the entire syllabus
- If you don’t understand any chapter, seek help from an expert but don’t simply memorize
- Expect to apply practical knowledge into your theoretical paper
- Solve sectional mock tests to get an idea about the type of questions to expect
Banking Awareness
- Learn all the banking terms
- Make sure, you cover the full syllabus
- Write down all the tough or confusing terms in a copy and revise them daily for an hour
- Do not write an answer based on assumptions
