Preparing for PO Exam : Candidates will have to answer
200-250 objective questions within 2 hours & this makes it a necessity for fast mind
calculations.

1) Allocate maximum time for preparing Aptitude & Reasoning sections.

2) Quantitative aptitude will deal with basic maths – algebra,profit loss,percentage problems,arithmetic problems etc.Books of Std.10th would help in preparing for this.

3) Practice is the only key to crack Reasoning questions.Questions would be based on diagrams, statements,analysis etc, & will test your problem solving skills.

4) Test of English will have questions on grammar, vocabulary,synonyms,antonyms,fill-in-the blanks,sentence formation etc.,Books on basic english language would suffice.

5) General awareness -Read newspapers with special focus on banking & finance,money markets,global business.
