IBPS RRB PO Mains 2021 Study Plan 

  • Now that you have less than a month to go before the exam, it would be prudent to revise your entire study plan. 
  • We know you have been working quite hard already, but now you need to increase your efforts manifold. In case you have been taking it easy or procrastinating for some reason, you need to devote more time to your studies now. 
  • Mock tests are an indispensable resource for any examination. You must routinely take mock tests from time to time to understand where you stand with your preparation. In these last few weeks before the exam, you should take at least 2 mock tests a week. 
  • Take a look at the IBPS RRB PO Mains exam analysis. It will give you a clear idea about the standard of assessment, which topics are more important, cut-offs and such. 
  • Take a look at some of the IBPS RRB PO previous years’ papers. It will help you understand how the papers have been set in the past and will give you a fair idea of how you need to approach the exam as well. 
  • The best way to prepare for Reasoning and Quantitative Aptitude is by practicing sample questions. Once you are thorough with the theory part of it, you must practice some questions every day. Practice is the only way to ensure you can solve these questions quickly and correctly during the actual exam. 
  • For your language paper, if you have opted for English, you must practice questions on error detection. 
  • Also, for your English section, read the comprehension carefully and thoroughly. This can be a very scoring topic if you use it to your advantage. All the answers are already present in the passage. 
  • For those of you who have opted for Hindi for the language section, you will see that the syllabus is quite basic. The questions will be based on topics like synonyms, antonyms, idioms/proverbs, tenses, sentence correction and parts of sentences to name a few. 
  • Finally, for Computer Awareness, you must make yourself familiar with technical terms on which questions are often asked. 

General Tips

  • Don’t wear yourself out. Take proper routine breaks. 
  • Manage your time well. Distribute the syllabus for the remaining weeks so that you can ensure you cover all the topics.
  • Keep some margin for accommodation in case you fall behind in your preparation. 
  • Don’t get worked up. If for any reason you have fallen behind in your preparation, you have a fair amount of time left before the exam, so use your time wisely. 
  • Although a decent amount of stress will push you to work harder, don’t let your worry or nervousness get the better of you. 
  • Dedicate all your time to your study. Leave all other thoughts for another day. 
  • Remember, this opportunity may or may not knock on your door again. So, rise to the occasion and make the most of it.
