Friends, we've already discussed about the basics of Precis writing for bank po exams (you can read that post here). In this post we shall discuss important points / rules which you should follow to write precis. Lets have a look...


In writing a precis just proceed as follows :

  • Read Carefully, sentence by sentence, the passage to be summarized. Try to grasp the writer's main point. Spotting the topic sentence will help. As you read, take brief notes to be used in your writing.
  • When you have finally decided what the author's main point is, write it out in your own words. Do not use the wording of the original except for certain key words which you may find indispensable. If you cant translate the idea into your own language, you do not understand them very well. Be especially careful not to rely too much on the topic sentence. Do not add add any ideas or opinions of your own. 
  • Revise your writing until you are sure that you have given an accurate summary.
  • Usually you will find your precis is too long, if it is more than one-third the length of the original. Continue your revision until you have reduced the precis to the proper length  In this careful revision lies the principal value of the precis as a composition exercise.
