    Well for the test I prepared by myself. I would recommend you to go for paramount study material for English and aptitude. For the reasoning go for any standard book( I have followed drishti publication). And just for the interview I joined a local coaching center to brush up my communication skill for GD and interview. This is my first attempt for SBI associate PO and I attempted around 115 questions
