Choose to attempt the questions on Quadratic Equations/ Inequalities (Quantity 1, Quantity 2), Simplification/ Data Sufficiency/ Approximation, and Number Series first. The total number of questions based on these topics will be 10-15. If we talk about the previous year Examination of IBPS PO Prelims Exam, there were 5-6 questions on the topics like Number Series, Quadratic Equations, Simplification, Approximation, etc.

If we talk about this year’s SBI PO and RRB PO Examinations, questions based on Data Sufficiency and Quantity 1 and Quantity 2 too were asked. This took everyone by surprise as these questions were never seen in any Preliminary level examination previously. After having attempted all these questions efficiently, go for Data Interpretation/ Caselet.

There is a possibility that a Caselet can be asked along with 2 DI’s as it is being asked in the preliminary stage of many banking examinations this year. 

Attempt questions based on Arithmetic in the end. There were a total number of 12-15 questions from miscellaneous topics in IBPS PO Prelims Exam 2017, so, we can expect 10-15 questions from this part this year, out of which, at least 6 questions from Arithmetic Section will be doable.
