sponsored links

Hii,  My name is Deepak and I attended SBI PO exam today here in thane, Mumbai.

My center was about 90 minutes far from my home so left very early and reached at center around 12 in noon, though we were allowed to enter in center at 1:30 exactly since morning session paper was going on.

To start off with, we all candidates were asked to sit in one common classroom at 1:30 where our ID cards, along with admit cards were verified. (one ID card along with xerox copy, remember to carry original)

So, we were asked to enter in our respective labs around 2PM. Our college was an engineering college so needless to say that we got best of the machines where we had LED monitors and size of monitor was also big, around 20 inches. So I dint required to scroll much horizontally or vertically.

Our exam started at 2:30 exactly. After reading reviews of people here, I had already decided to attempt DI section at last keeping 45 minutes for it.

I started off with GA and could able to manage answer 21 questions accurately in 12 minutes

Some questions were

1. Private bank who launched branch in shanghai china - Axis bank
2. Srilanka won Asia cup by beating - Pakistan
3. India at risk author - Jaswant singh,
4. Full name of IDFC
5. Leander paece has been awarded - Padma bhushan
6. Wheels on chair system launched by which bank
7. NATO summit will be held at - UK in sep 2014

I don't remember much now, some basic questions from computers, being engineering graduate, this was cake walk for me. Could able to answer almost all questions.

I was not good at all with marketing and neither had much preparation so I avoided questions on it. Students with preparation in it can easily attempt i guess.

I then switched off to English section and answered 18 questions, I started off with last 10 questions which are fill in the blanks of passage. You can easily attempt 10/10 of it if you get overall idea of passage, just read it once or twice with good understanding and 10 marks are yours. I attempted 8 of that.

Rest questions i attempted from synonyms and antonyms from passage. i guess 2-3 were there. I then attempted 1 small passage.

After attempting 18 questions i had total 85 minutes with me so i switched to reasoning section.

I started with syllogism questions 41 to 45 since i was very comfortable with it. mix of questions in it like "possibility" , either 1 or either 2 follows like that.

I attempted all correct.

Then i solved one small puzzle like 7 subjects organized by university on 7 days of week. after arranging them correctly I could attempt 5 more questions on it.

Then there was one question like M is shorter only than L, P is shorter than q and taller than s. Height of tallest is 20feet, height of 2nd smallest is 8 feet something like that, then 5 questions on it which was very easy.

so total 15 attempted so far. I attempted 2 data sufficiency questions after it. One was finding the code for word ( coding decoding). Second was based on sitting arrangement and this is where i made mistake in attempting this question for 1 mark sine it took more than 5-6 minutes of me to arrive at conclusion. After that 1 question on inequality which was easy based on given data. (total 18 so far)

Meanwhile, other questions were from sitting arrangement. 8 people along CIRCULAR table with in and out sitting with their designations like doctor and blaa blaah....

I skipped it.

One on 8 people sitting in line with north south....I skipped it ;)

Then when i checked my clock it was around 42 minutes left so I jumped to DI .

I just went through all questions in mere 3-4 minutes to check which to attempt and which to leave. DI was very very difficult with loads of calculations in single question. You will find 1-2 question in every DI simple (comparatively I mean...like normal questions) so I attempted these questions first. I could attempt 13 questions only but with accuracy.

My total attempt was 70 only :D

21 GA, 18 eng, 18 reasoning and 13 DI

And people who are saying they have attempted more than 120 question with accuracy, hats off to them :D
