SBI Clerk Mains 2019 Exam Pattern

The Mains Examination (Online Objective Test): 

Main Examination consists of Objective Test of 190 Questions for 200 marks. There are four sections in the objective test, General English, Quantitative Aptitude, Reasoning Ability, and Computer Aptitude, General/Financial Awareness. The total test is of 2 hours 40 minutes.

• The trick to scoring maximum in the Reasoning and Quantitative aptitude section is to attempt a maximum of puzzles and DI’S. These topics are the saviors in any competitive exam.
• Do not spend much time on a particular question. You should know which question is to be attempted the first and which can be skipped for later.
• Attempt the easy question first in Reasoning like coding-decoding, alphanumeric series, syllogism, direction sense, and other random topics.
• Similarly, attempt simplification and approximation first and other easy topics and then move to easy to moderate and then difficult level.
• The trick to scoring in the English section can vary from one person to another depending on his/her strengths and weaknesses. 
• If you are good at vocab and reading then attempt the reading comprehension first and proceed with Cloze Test and other miscellaneous topics like Error Detection, Para Jumbles, Phrase Replacement, Double Fillers, etc. But if you are good at grammar attempt reading comprehension first.
• So much is happening every day that unless you keep yourself abreast of these changes you cannot adjust yourself to them or tackle the GA section of any exam smoothly and easily. 
• Avoid the habit of ignoring everyday news, telling yourself that you will do it in the end when the examinations are close, you only end up lying crushed under a pile of news. 
• Computer Aptitude is a subject that many students are already familiar with. Although in SBI PO Mains there were no questions from computer aptitude but as an aspirant yearning to score maximum in the exam, you should revise this subject as well. So in case if there is a set of questions in this section from computer aptitude; they will help you score.
