Wondering how to increase your calculation tips - here are a few tips.
Hello everyone,
Just wanted some feedback. Yesterday I started bookings for an online course for SBI PO Prelim Exam for 999 Rs. The course includes a mock test series with 20 mocks in new pattern (100 questions). A few students on PG said that they would prefer if there was an option to buy just the mock test series - say priced at 499 Rs.
Please let me know your feedback. Would you be interested in such an option of just the mock test series?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Albert and Bernard just became friends with Cheryl, and they want to know when her birthday is. Cheryl gives them a list of 10 possible dates.
May 15 May 16 May 19
June 17 June 18
July 14 July 16
August 14 August 15 August 17
Cheryl then tells Albert and Bernard separately the month and the day of her birthday respectively.
Albert: I do not know when Cheryl's birthday is, but I know that Bernard does not know too.
Bernard: At first I don't know when Cheryl's birthday is, but I know now.
Albert: Then I also know when Cheryl's birthday is.
So when is Cheryl's birthday?

One of the most common questions that goes through a student's mind
is, "Do I have enough time to prepare?" And if the student is
preparing for SBI PO 2015 exam, it becomes of paramount importance,
primarily because there is only 1 month left for the exam. SBI PO
exam preparation is a tough task but it can be accomplished with a
little bit of practice and a little bit of effort. May be, I am being
lenient when I am using the phrase 'little bit'. Probably the phrase
should be 'a lot of effort' because the SBI Bank PO exam is less than a
month away. In this post, I would like to discuss some of the key
things that you can do to enhance your preparation for SBI PO.
Marketing Aptitude, Banking Awareness, General Knowledge and Current Affairs
Marketing
Aptitude is an important aspect of SBI PO exam. There will be 10 to
15 questions on this topic and it is easy to prepare for. Just look
for some of the previous year papers to identify the kind of
questions which get asked. In my online SBI PO Coaching course, you get
a bunch of questions to practice from.
Questions on Banking
Awareness are also very common. You need to quickly run through the
history of the Indian banks and also the go through their current
heads. Good knowledge of commonly used terms will also help a lot.
For
General Knowledge and Current Affairs, it is recommended that you are
well versed with the events that have taken place in the last 6
months. That will give you the additional edge required to crack SBI
PO.
Data Analysis and Interpretation
I am sure that any
SBI PO exam aspirant is aware of what pie charts are and what bar
graphs are. Where they lose out is when they take too much time to
solve these questions. The most important idea for these questions is -
you don't need to calculate the answer. You need to approximate and
eliminate the incorrect options. You will get to the answer a lot
faster this way. For SBI PO exam preparation, we have included 50+
videos on this topic.
Reasoning
Reasoning is probably the
section that takes the most time. The best way to crack this section
is to identify the sets that you should solve. Once you figure out a
set, you will be able to solve all the questions involved in that
particular set. There are a variety of concepts covered in our SBI PO
preparation course.
English Language
This is the section
that you can run through very fast. The chances of making an error in
this section are quite high. So while you are attempting this section,
mark only the questions that you are sure of. Otherwise, you might
end up with a below par score in this section because of negative
marking.

This is in response to a query by @sumit6971 where he said:
"sir i just want to know about the coaching in detail,like what and how much will be available as study and practice material and how will you guide us to prepare for the descriptive exam"
The SBI PO 2015 Mains Exam course has the following features:
The course has approximately 200 video tutorials which cover Quant, DI, Reasoning (low and high level), English Language, Reading Comprehension, etc.
The course has a bunch of documents for Banking Awareness and Marketing Aptitude. It also has a monthly update on current affairs. There are some practice questions available in PDF as well, but not much. We rely on the test series for that.
It consists of 5 full length mock tests. All questions not only have the answers but detail solutions with them. It also has various tools for analytics which help you figure out your strong and weak areas.
Every weekend I will conduct live classes to clarify whatever doubts a student might have. These will contain difficult questions that students might get stuck in. Let me add, it will not be limited just to doubt questions but will also cover concepts that students find difficult.
There will be a bunch of video tutorials on tips for writing essays, letters, etc. Also, I will evaluate the essays and letters that students send in and provide individual feedback.
Approximately 60% of the content is already added in the course. Rest will be added in the coming month. The complete course will be available by 15th June The mock test series for SBI PO Mains exam will start once SBI PO prelims is over.
