SBI PO Jobs Written Test – No more Maths Papers !

Candidates interested in applying for jobs in State bank of India have a reason to smile as the bank had recently made changes to their exam pattern. SBI has scrapped the mathematical/ quantitative papers for its Probationary Officers recruitment announced last month leaving more room to test candidates on logical reasoning & data analysis skills.

 

The Test : As per recruitment notice for officer jobs in State bank of India & their associate banks, here is the exam pattern -

1) Test of English Language
2) Test of General Awareness, Marketing & Computers
3) Test of Data Analysis & Interpretation
4) Test of Reasoning (High Level)

 

Test of Reasoning : The recent SBI recruitment for 4500 Probationary officers saw the inclusion of Test of Reasoning paper in place of Quantitative aptitude/ Numerical ability, which is a standard part of many competitive exams in India, including bank exams.This could be due to the change in the test pattern made by SBI, says an article published in Business line.

 

Decision Making : Now, with this change the bank looks to extract & test the reasoning and decision making skills.This seems to be a welcome move by SBI as bank officers will have to choose & decide between various available options for which their analysis, logical reasoning & decision making skills are taken into account in written exams.

 

No Maths.Easy? Although, the removal of maths papers from SBI officer recruitment exams would enable more eligible candidates with no exceptional maths knowledge to apply, it is also mentioned - Test of Reasoning would be of high level !

 

Hence, bank job aspirants will now have to prepare extensively for the reasoning & data analysis tests, as the competition for bank jobs is increasing & SBI remains the first choice for many.

Negative Marks - Tips to Minimise

Every candidate taking up bank exams for the first time are more concerned about Negative marks.Negative marks in bank exams are awarded to each and every wrong answer ,which ranges from 0.25 - 0.50 marks.If you still have no clue on how to steer clear without negative marks,proceed reading to know about the do`s & don'ts.

What you must do to minimize negative marks ?

# Analyze the Question paper in advance by referring previous question papers.This helps to get a clear picture of the type of questions in each section.For this, previous question papers or question paper blueprints would help in knowing the pattern

# Practice is the only key.Since most bank exams expect you to complete 120-150 questions in 3 hours,its necessary for the candidates to figure out short-cut methods,easy problem solving skills so that precious time could be saved.

# Try attending mock tests using sample bank exam question papers,which will help to decide on the amount of time needed to answer each question.Time Management is the most needed skill to answer all the questions in time.

# Prepare short notes of your preparations,formulas,important theorems etc.,so you can refer to it during the last minute preparation rather than reading the books.

# Be cool & calm while writing the exam.Getting tensed on an unknown question or hurrying to complete the exam soon, contribute to negative marks largely.

# Answer the questions that you are confident of being correct ,rather than getting stuck with a question & wasting time trying to answer it.

# Do not guess until you are very sure of the answer.Guessing can drastically reduce the marks without your knowing.

# Do not erase or overwrite frequently.Since the OMR sheets are read by computers,any improper erasing marks will be calculated as wrong answers,leading to negative marks.

In an attempt to avoid negative marks,don't skip all the unknown questions.Take calculated risks & think of the nearest answer,since there is no success without risks
