Dear students, now that the SBI Clerk Prelims Exam has already been rescheduled, the dates being 23rd, 24th and 30th of June, you would have already started to prepare the ground for the same. The major changes in the pattern of SBI Clerk Examination that were observed this year were the introduction of section timing for the Prelims exams too and elimination of sectional cut off.
Earlier students used to spend a maximum of 15 minutes on the English Section and the time they would save this way was spent on solving the complex questions of Reasoning Ability and Quantitative Aptitude Sections that are supposed to be more time-consuming. But now, to the aspirants’ dismay, this strategy won’t be working anymore as they are all bound to spend 20 minutes on each of the three section. Thus, 20 minutes out of the total 60 minutes have to be given solely to English Section as per the SBI Notification. But then, there is a silver lining in every dark cloud, isn’t it? So, why look at the dark side of something and ignore to look at the bright side of it instead? This may help you score better marks in English Section as you will enough of time to deeply analyze the questions and thus attempting the questions with a higher percentage of accuracy.
Students, an optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty and that is what we suggest you to follow. You used to plan a strategy as per the conventional pattern of examination and now you have to plan a different strategy for a slightly changed pattern of examination, after all, there is always a way out. So, all that you have to do is to plan a strategy and prepare accordingly, that’s it. In the English Section, you have got enough of the time to solve the questions efficiently, i.e., 20 minutes for 30 questions. Here are a few tips on how to work on how to prepare English Section for SBI Clerk 2018 Examination:
- Practice more and more questions with the Adda247 Mobile App.
- You still have 2 and a half month to grasp the maximum of the basics of this language so, make the best out of these 2 months so as you manage to attempt the maximum number of questions in this section in the examination.
- Do keep in mind that accuracy should be the priority while attempting this particular section, as, many of you would try to attempt the maximum number of the questions in this section that kind of gives you the maximum average time for each question (20 minutes for 30 questions).
- Those who think they are weak in English can choose to attempt Reading Comprehension as they will have enough of time to read and understand it thoroughly. The good thing about the RC is that it doesn’t test English grammar, and one can do it easily by making use of her/ his common sense.
- The Reading comprehension too should be attempted in a way that you attempt questions based on vocab and phrases first and then the questions that need a deep penetration through the paragraphs.
- The important topics for cloze test are subject-verb agreement, preposition, and verbs. These topics may help you some other questions too that will be based on grammar. So make sure that you have these topics at your fingertips when you are to attempt the examination.
