J&K Bank PO Prelims Exam Strategy

General

The Preliminary round has 3 sections which are English, Quantitative Aptitude and Reasoning Ability. The time for the Prelims round to take place is also very less from today’s date. We will have 12 days only to revise all the sections. This is how you can proceed:

• Give 3 days per section and you’ll end up using 9 days from the remaining 12 days
• For each section, utilize the first 2 days to learn new concepts and chapters
• Use the last day of the 3 days to revise all the chapters that you already know
• Use the final 3 days of 12 days to solve only mock tests, one section per day

Section-Wise

English

• Learn 5 new words with their meanings daily
• Read English newspapers every day without fail
• Allot one hour daily to write on any random topic
• Learn the rules of Grammar very carefully
• Focus on synonyms, antonyms, jumble words etc
• FInish each section by taking a test

Quantitative Aptitude

• This section is based on Mathematics and will need you to understand the chapters
• Avoid rushing to a conclusion, solve without missing any step
• Memorize all formulas and tables without getting confused
• Focus on sections like Ration and Proportion, SI and Ci, Mensuration, Speed-Time, and Distance sums

Reasoning Ability

• Practicing will help you ace this section easily
• It is necessary to think analytically before answering questions in this section
• Be very careful about selecting the right answer, you can often choose the wrong one if you don’t focus well

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
