Hi Friends, this is Bhargav Kartik Tunuguntla. I had my SBI PO Online Exam today (28-06-2014). I really curios to share my experience here coz I'm one among those aspirants who waited for others' exam reviews over here. :))
My attempts are : 97 (90% accuracy..hope so)
- English : 32
- General Awareness : 35
- Reasoning : 19 (100%)
- Data Interpretation : 11
Descriptive questions:
- Letter to friend who failed in univ exam, suggest him to apply for re-evaluation..blah blah!
- Big essay topics: what's more imp to empower women, education or employment? risks and risk management in banking and some other one
- Short essay on taking loans and investing in share market is irrational
Don't bother about the questions.. after all these questions wont be repeated for the next days for sure!! really really sbi has got a huge database of questions..not even a single question in general section got repeated, I came across some 50 questions on various websites, not even a single qn came from that previous ones!! Smart SBI ;)
Exam will definitely reach ur expectations :P many ppl said..DI is tuf..hard..very difficult! yes all these are absolutely true, even with calculator you'll need more than 1 and half hour to solve all the questions. Trust me..it will blow your mind!
You don't call a question as tough which you cannot solve it..You'll call them as tough if it takes more than 90 secs to solve it! so I'll say..DI is undoubtedly tuf.
Reasoning is full of puzzles..tried one..left it in middle! solved all the remaining questions which I'm perfect in. I'm absolutely perfect in arrangements..but I couldn't solve them, as I thought of giving some 45+mins to DI.
Di: 45+mins..11 questions! rest you imagine :)
All the Best to all
Ya .... I too felt paper was very time consuming...especially DI & Reasoning.
ReplyDeleteGeneral Awareness and English was all-right.
My Attempts-
ENG-46
GA-42
Reasoning-16
DI-15
Accuracy should be about 80-90%.
For people appearing tommorow and the next week ,concentrate on English & GK coz these 2 sections will be the game changers as DI & Reasoning will be difficult for all.Also try to put in good efforts for the descriptive part.
All the best.
P.S. Brush up IT and Marketing basics...can be very helpful in scaling past cut-offs.
Deep.
ENG-30, GA-43, DI-17,REASONING-27
DeleteI dnt know why SBI is making DI section so tough..!! Reasoning evalutes the logical power and IQ of a person but DI has nthin excpt vast calculations n nly calculation..! is there any logic to make this section so tough..!! attempting 10 to 12 questions in such a constrained time limit is like climbing everest in a day..!! Does SBI POs have the job of calculating manually in office..?? i think they are saving money on calulators.. :P
DeleteU just read my mind
DeleteM content with ur comment. I too appeared for the exam on 28th in Bangalore..i have completed gk,English in 20min as I attempted 30 questions from each of these two section thought of giving much time to reasoning and DI but m sure even calculator will not help u to solve those questions within limited time frame whole lotz of calculations were there n in descriptive part I was totally shuttered as objective was not good so there was no point in giving my best in descriptive.
Deletei felt gk section little confusing, math was full of calculations,reasoning section was confusing but managable and final english section was ok.

ReplyDeletetomorrow s my xam......
ReplyDeletesom wat tensed.....
give som suggestions..... to get ready with DI & GA plzz
For DI, nvr try all questions. Just attempt 10-20 sure answers. Means, u dont have to run after all the qstns of a single section. Just attempt easy qstns like ratios and totals. Dnt try to do percentage if it involved two data both in numerator and denominator.
DeleteGA . revise all the committees and various sanctions of RBI from jan onwards. Sure u cn get 30-35 easily.
Fr eng., plzzzz dnt waste time to read the three biggggg passages cmpltly. Jst attempt antonyms and synonyms those wud be bolded by reading the sentances in which they are invlved.
Reasoning, its luck. For me, i cud get the arrangements in my first trial itself. So sorry, no suggestions.
All the best dear.
just first attempt 10 question from di.Then do other 3 sections.If time left attempt rest di.
DeleteRead a marketing book,otherwise you willn't able to answer.
Only 2-3 easy qs from computer.
I think the cut off will be around 60-70mrks..........and DI will be between 6-10.....am damn sure..........
ReplyDeleteAttempted 170 questions.
ReplyDeleteDI-40
RES-40
Eng-45
GA-45
with 90% accuracy
u r sure 2 b directly absorbed as chief general manager
Deletei will replace arundhati
Deletefeko mat jindgi bhar fekte hi rah jaoge
Deleteghar pe apne pitaji ko tune bola hoga ki tu 210 karke aaya hai.
Deletetum to superman ho........muje bhi tora apne powr share karo na..
DeleteTumlog 24*7 facebook karte ho,all bollywood movie 1st day 1st show jateho,all cricket matches enjoy karte ho,gf sath bhi bahut time spend karte ho,daru pk time waste karte ho,examcentre pe bhi laundiyako line marke apna concentration khote ho.You guys study after downloading callletter.To mark kahanse ayega.Leave above things for 1 yr. and study hard.Then you will be also be able to attend a healthier no. of question.
DeleteAnd you willn't be called for interview with less than 120marks.
I agree with u. Just every one need to focus on the preparation for exam, for this Your smartness is more important than your excellence to get the call letter for GDPI.
DeleteBest luck to everyone!
how u have prepared.wich book u ve followed for gk bcs i did not get even single question form notes
Deleteand you say " willn't " be after studying for 18+ years????? lolz
DeleteAttempted 180 with 100 percent accuracy :p lol jalo ab
ReplyDeleteI attended today's exam.
ReplyDeleteExcept DI all othes were comparitively good.
Suggestions to friends...
Eng I attempted 35 questions and am sure all are true. While u hav to attempt essays, plz dont read it completely. Only attempt questions regarding antonyms and synonyms. Leave those asking the themes etc.
Resoning 38 (95% acc)
General 41 (I am sure all are true) for grneral plz refer http://currentaffairs.gktoday.in
All qstns asked regarding banking sections like committees, white label ATM, kissan credit, NEFt etc. Only some like pulitzar and dada sahib falke etc were asked outside banking section.
DI was really very time consuming. I could attempt nly 17. Last two was not sure.
Writing part are really easy. Dont bother about it. If u hav a good habit of reading hindu, u can easily crack writing section easily.
All the best dear friends...
Di was mind blowing . Three minutes to read the long question .find the ratio if percentage of literate females of stat x and y of year 2005 and 2008 over the ratio of male graduates of states p and q during years 2002 and 2006 . When you understand the question , these will be the figures
ReplyDeletePercentage 48
Ratio 13:12
Number 45345800
All the best to all .
i have attempted 200 with 0% accuracy
ReplyDeleteThts cute . :-)
DeleteIn Di section, there were questions from simple interest, profit and loss, distance and time? Or only there were Di problems? Please somebody let me know who have given the exam
ReplyDeleteTHr was qstns based on smple intrst. But it was smwht tuf. Dnt attempt time consuming qstns.
DeleteHi this is Rohit, I would like to share my experience of the exam here.
ReplyDeleteFirst time i have given this exam and find it a bit difficult only on the time management side. If one can manage time better and attempt accordingly can succed and that is where fails here, I couldn't manage time properly. My attempts were 121.
GA- 42
ENG-37
DI-13
RES-29
DI was time consuming and a bit difficult and lengthy.
My accuracy wud be 85%.
But due to low DI score I would fail.
Rest I could suggest the people taking exams in the coming days to attempt atleast 20 questions in every section. 20 in DI and res should be marked Correct.
Thanks and all the best :)
bhai abhi dekh comments me log teri kaise bajate hai woh... :P
ReplyDeletehello I have my exam tomorrow. Can anyone please tell me the format of "Letter" and other type of questions asked in descriptive writing
ReplyDeleteattempted-84
ReplyDeleteDi- 8
Baki yaad ni..
NOw lets concentrate on SBI Clerk
in DI the magazine question gave data for A-F magazine but in its first question they asked about magazine K
ReplyDeleteand in the hr finance and marketing students question the first question was about arts science and one more stream..
i thought the question is wrong and hence left them....
did anyone else felt the same or it was my reading mistake
What do you think would be the expected cutoff for today evening paper.. I did 85 with 100% accuracy..What are the chances?
ReplyDeleteI guess cut,off
ReplyDeleteeng-30
reasoning-20
general awareness,marketing,computer -35
di- 10
so prepare accordingly
descriptive is easy so - 20
I attempted 87 qs in all,paper was lengthy and time consuming,did attempt the gk fully,while the guy sitting next to me solved 199qs...lol...he did not use any rough work,while i used 2 sheets of rough work still was unable to solve all.
ReplyDeleteMam,if this toughness is going on how can we get chance..?Our future will be blocked
ReplyDeleteif review question are attempted but not pressed saved and next button..will it be valued or not...????
ReplyDeleteKoi batayega ki pwd ki kitni cut off aane ki umeed hai section wise

Yeah I agree with you
ReplyDeleteDI : 10
ReplyDeleteReasoning : 34
English : 44
GA : 50 (Was not prepared for this section much, just knew 9-10 questions. Hence, attempted it full)
I think who ever attempted more than 40 questions in GK! 40-50% of the answers will be wrong...You'll always feel the ans u r marking is right and u can gain the marks you'll lose in other sections! but ul realise the truth later..
