Re: How to prepare for Bank PO exams? There is much competition for bank PO exams these days. Preparing for the exam with proper planning makes you to get success in the exam. For bank PO jobs, the selection procedure will be by -Written test -Interview. The written test consists of questions from the following categories -Reasoning -Quantitative aptitude -General awareness -General English -Computer/ Marketing knowledge Focus more on general awareness. Because this is the section which most of the candidates feel a bit difficult. Be good enough in current affairs of last 6 months prior to the exam. Be good enough in Grammatical points Practice previous papers so that you may know the kind of question to be asked. Practice aptitude problems in the early morning session so that you can understand them easily. |
