Hello Friends,

I am Rushabh Jain from Gujarat.

2) Reasoning section some question ware okay n other ware tricky approch.

3) D.I : is like speed test . if the candidate have a speed in it so he/she crack this section. No doubt over there.

4) English is very easy

Descriptive was also good.  it`s topic on some I.T related n other economic.

Review shared by Naga

Hello this is Naga. I attempted my SBI PO exam on June 29 th evening shift. Exam was started at 2.30 pm, I started my exam with General awareness area really easy. I attempted 46 questions.

Questions from: 

GA         : 25 (20 Questions very easy, 5 questions hard)

Comp      : 15 (13 Questions very easy, 2 question little bit hard)

Mktg     : 10 (you can answer 4 questions by “Standard marketing” and 6 questions by using “common sense “)

English also easy (Little bit hard to me, because I’m little bit poor in English)

Passages: 10+10 = 20

Close test: 10

Errors: 5

Jumbled: 5

Word arrangement: 5 (I think new method)

Suitable words: 5

Reasoning: Moderate level, but time taking

Puzzles: 5+6+6

Inequalities: 3+2

Syllog: 5

Cause& Effect: 1+2+3

Input Output: 5

Data Sufficiency: 5

Course of action and Misalli: 8

DI: Really rally really really really really really really .. … ….. … …… Hard

Each individual problem has at least 4 sub calculations and each problem takes at least 4 to 7 minutes. 

My attempts are :

GA- 46 (15 minutes), Reasoning: 40 (30 minutes), English: 25 (25 minutes), DI- 12 ( “50” minutes)

Review shared by Vishal Rathi

The exam started at 2:30, I usually follow a certain pattern in the exam, to begin with Reasoning, shifting to GA, then to English, and Finally DI in Banking exams.

Last time in SBI, I missed the cut off by a very short distance, and secured 37 marks in DI, and in IBPS I secured 24 marks in DI.

This time, SBI made sure that no one scores a 37 in Reasoning or DI, the paper was far tougher than the last time.

I attempted 21 Questions in Reasoning, majority should be correct, in some 40 minutes, then shifted to GA and finished it before the clock could tick 3:30, then shifted to English and with 40 minutes left, I shifted to DI, (I attempted 47 in English and 31 in GA).

Now the beginning was okay in DI, and I thought I will easily manage 20 Questions by the time 2 hours duration gets over, but the paper turned ugly soon, and i could manage only 13 questions in DI.

All should be correct though, and total attempt reached 112, accuracy is okay, but the paper, as everyone else said, was far more tough than the expectations, so those who are left with their exams, make sure that you have a strategy, and make sure that 15 (with full accuracy) be your attempts max in DI, Reasoning 20 will do, English and GA only will take you through.

The cut off should not cross 90 according to my experience, with sectional cut offs, Reasoning 13, DI 10, English 15, GA 15, for the general category students.

The theory exam should be a cakewalk for those who have a Good Command over language.

I hope the Review Helps :v

Review of SBI PO Exam on 29th June (Evening Shift)

Review shared by Nitin Pandey

Hello my name is Nitin Pandey. I am from Delhi. My exam was on 29th June (evening) at Faridabad.

 I had given IBPS PO-3 exam and i qualified it , but today exam was the toughest exam among my all examination which i had given. It was like the nightmare came true.

My Strategy before giving exam  : I thought i will first attempt all GK/MARKETING questions within 15 minutes. Then I will move to the English and will finish it in 25 Minutes. The rest 80 minutes I will give either 40 minutes to the reasoning or will attempt 40 questions and at last i will attempt DI. I thought of attempting 20 questions from DI. I made a target of attempting at least 150 questions.

SBI PO 2014 Cutoff Analysis

Friends, I am Abhishek Reddy, an SBI PO aspirant. Following is my analysis of this year's SBI PO Online Exam explaining the cutoff! Hope it will help you clearing your doubts. 

For people who are concerned about cutoffs and difficulty, I will share a simple logic based on which you can get the basic idea about the cutoffs! though many websites have already put cutoffs for all categories.... I will try to provide a rationale behind it! I will do this by comparing this year's paper with previous year paper! and I disclaim that this may not be true but I hope it will be 90% true atleast!

Detailed Reviews of SBI Po 22-06-14 (Evening Shift)

Review shared by Dharmesh Neelratna

English : Comprehension was tough and confusing,, no direct question,, understand the whole then answer... paragraph jumbled was easy and so as cloze test.... Fill in the blanks with two words,, but it was easy... In rest,, 5 Words were given with 5 pairs of options,, you have to tell whether they are similar meaning or of oposite....

Reasoning : It was kind of moderate but time taking,,, Input Output was easy,, I was so happy to see sitting arrangment with all facing inwards after a long time,,, but it was tricky,,, i didn,t succeed in breaking it... Syllogisms- all questions of possibilty cases,, neither-nor,, or negative nature... Some questions of passage and conclusion.. Analogies were there,, these are what you search to solve quickly.... Besides these one puzzles was also there....

In this quesion you can find  some portion which can be easily solved within time limits,,, try to find those....

DI : Jo sab bol rhe h wahi haal h iska,,, It was too hard and time taking,,, Pie chart with combination of table containing ratio values,,, Line graph,, 2 Bar graphs,, 2 or 3 tables with so much variations,,, A paragraph about some 1600 childrens somwhr,, then ration of boys:girls,, In both 2 courses B.Sc n BA,,, in each course 3 subjects,,, students with single subject,, 2 subjects,, 3 subjects,,, find all these then answers,,,

A table was given with some blank values,, first find those values if required,,,

Questions asked were of nature % change,, ration b/w one value of sub sub part to total,,, % of sub value to total,,, ration of one sub value to another of separate field,,, Average and ratio or % combined together....

But the gud news there were some questions in each figure question that can be solved easliy,,, dun try to solve all questions of a figure just because you became familiar to it..

GA : This section was best among all... Lots of Marketing questions but a few were direct,,, rest depends on your understanding of marketing,,, Current awareness was easy and direct,, Computer questions were few around 10-13...

Some questions of current asked today are:

1. CCI Billards Title?? Pankaj Advani
2. Death- founder of Leela group hostel?? Krishnan Iyer
3. Milk brand from Gujrat opening plant with 5ltr one day capacity,, where??? Varansi
4. Pakistan batting coach?? Grant Flower
5. Accidental PM,, Author?? Sanjay Baru

Review shared by Shilpa

I am Shilpa from Haryana.
I have attended today's PO Exam in evening batch. I am sharing my experience of the exam and questions which i am able recollect.

First of all thanx to gr8ambitionz team for your support.Your study material was extremely helpful.

GA
I started exam with GA.I was able to attempt only 30 questions. :(
No of computer questions was less which was a bit disappointing for me as i am an IT student.
But overall dfficulty level of this section was easy.

Some questions are:

1. 4C's corresponding to 4Ps of marketing
2. Interface between CPU and user
3. Some question related to Amul Anand gujrat
4. Why RBI ban ECB
5. which team appointed a Zimbabwean coach(i dont remember the name)
6. Author of "Accidental Prime Minister of India"
7. what is a folder in computer
8. In how much time a bank have to transfer money to beneficiary in RTGS

English
This section was very easy.i attempted 30 questions from this section.
Error spotting,Fill blanks with suitable words,synonym antonyms all were easy.

Reasoning
This section was moderate.I attempted 23 questions from this section.

DI
This section was undoubtedly villain of the show.
Very very lengthy.
Although I saved 45 minutes for this sections but i was able to attempt only 15 questions.
Dear friends,I advise you to first attempt last questions because they were comparatively easy or first have a look on question paper only for DI section.

Descriptive test

It was really fun to attempt descriptive exam :P

Precis: About money investment
Comprehension: Functions of government
Letter
to your friend whose child wastes time in mobiles and computers :D
to newspaper editor regarding a complaint
to your friend who lost his/her pet
Paragraph
How real are reality shows
you are what you think you are

i attempted first one :P

essay
if you were minister of banking industry...
how to stop farmer suicide
there are no permanent friends or enemies in politics
i attempted last one with lots of examples ;)

So in total i attempted 98 questions with gud accuracy.
I hope there is a chance  :) ;)

My suggestion to all is to first attempt GA and english in 30-40 minutes.
Then reasoning in 30 minutes.Save at least 50 minutes for DI
All the best everyone!!!



Review shared by Rajeshbabu. D
Hi frnds am Rajesh, I gave my xam on 21 st evng @ hyderabad..

I was Attmptd 142 qstns in all wid 85% accuracy..

D.I was very lengthy n tym cnsumng...
Remaining all the sctns r easy - mdrte..

I strtd wd g.a ansrd all the qstns wd 80-85% accuracy as I was MBA mrktng graduate I find dis sctn very easy..
Den went fr English, Left out 2 cmprehnsns and atmptd all other qstns As Dey r tym cnsumng.. Find dis sectn also very easy..

Total atmptd 80 qstns in 30 mints...

Nw jumpd to reasoning section n left out all the puzzles, got 3 in total and atmptd all the other qstns... Atmptd 32 qstns in 30 mnts...

Nw war started as went fr DI sctn.. It was so lengthy, full of caluculations, I strtd di, n ansrd slctvly as gnrally 2-3 qstns in a di sctn was easy, bt dat is also not comes gud in dis xam, I was able to solve 26 qstns in next 58 mnts...

In last 2 mnts able to atmpt 4 mre qstns frm English atmptd synonyms n opste words Which makes my atmpts to reach 140 mark...

My advice is avoid comprehension n puzls as dey r vry lengthy n tym cnsumng especially puzzles r so dfclt.. Atmpt dem if n only if u r a genius in slvng dem...
D.I is very tuf in all sessions as shared by our frnds here, so the sectional cutoff will be low, slve it lastly n try to solve 15-20 qstns wd gud accuracy, n solve dem slctvly, instead of selectng a diagram n trying to solve al qstns under it, go through all the qstns u will find at least 10-15 questions with minimal calculation even in dis tuf paper, so it wil sav lots of tym, if u stl hv tym go fr other sectn wch may ans quickly so dat ur overall score will be imprvd...

Coming to dscrptve paper, it was easy can atmpt vry easily... Evry type qstn consists a qstn from banking...
Lyk write a ltr to ur br. Managr about loss if TDR n ask wat to do...

Precise writng is about I.T efct on banking...

U can attempt it very easily with common general knowledge

Finally a big thanks fr the support of gr8ambitionz team n all the best to all of u frnds cheers....
