All of you guys, finally the SBI Clerk prelims result is out and you guys are getting so many messages that finally you got selected, after so many years the first prelims came out or after so much hard work finally we got selected in the prelims, so many messages are coming and super super happy but the biggest shocker do you know for whom it happened. 

 

Introduction : 

It was very shocking for the students of two-three states, especially West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar and UP where I was shouting from the first day that the cut off will not be high in these four states, exactly the same cut off was declared which we had predicted by Alpha Banker and the same thing happened with most of the states that the cut off was declared as we had predicted and many of the children in West Bengal, especially in West Bengal and Orissa, were sitting with the belief that if they do not score 70 plus then there is no need to prepare for the mains, everyone is sitting and what happened there was 61.25 and there it was 64.25, that means Majority of the students in West Bengal, Orissa did not prepare for the Mains. Same thing happened with Bihar. In Bihar everyone was saying brother 55 plus will go, 52 plus will go, same thing happened with UP 57 plus will go, 60 plus will go. Then I was shouting from day one that the cut off will not go high, and especially the children from these four states are looking the most worried now because they did not start preparing for the Mains here brother. 

 

Syllabus : 

Now in the last days, you have roughly 11 to 12 days left. So, in these 12 days, you will decide whether you will get selected in SBI Clerk or not. Now in 12 days, you will have to study roughly according to the hours, so your target should be 100 to 525 hours minimum. You have to put in these 12 days.Meaning, you will have to devote roughly eight to ten hours every day from now onwards. I am giving you a very brotherly advice here that do not try to do anything too much.


Generally, people here will guide you that take this course, do that, study this one from third, these teach differently, there is no need to study. Whichever teacher you are following, follow that teacher, brother. I myself am an educator, but I will also tell you that if you have not followed me from the beginning, then in the end, there is absolutely no need to change the educator in the last 10-12 days. Whoever you are studying from, if he is teaching you Mains, then study from him. 

 

Eligibility

Yes, if you do not like Mains, let's say English Mains, you do not like any teacher or you feel that his level is not high, then you can study from me, but if there is nothing like that at the last level, then you do not need to change the educator in the last 101 days. Follow the same teacher whom you are following, the source which you are following. Do them, do the PDF you are following, there is no need to do anything new, just add some basic things here, brother, if you have been reading current affairs till now, well and good, but if till now you are that type of Supreme who has not read current affairs at all, then there is no need to cover five to six months. I am giving you a very idealistic target, start with two to three months, brother, if you have not read it at all, if there is absolutely zero silence, then do March and February for two months, if you have read a little bit, then I would say target three or maximum four months, that means the maximum you should target should be December, January, February, March, if you have not read it at all, then I would say read March and February at least by heart both well and then go ahead, don't be misled that someone has read four months, five months, six months, if you read two months well and go ahead, then you will be able to reach an ideal respectable score, okay, if you have read a little bit, then I would say push it for three months or it can be very good, then four. Push it for a month but more than that if you have read it then it is ok.

 

Exam Pattern

There is no need to push beyond that or do not try to study November at this time because the one thing that will be a big hamper for you at this time is revision and I am telling you one thing from my very big experience, years of experience after seeing thousands of children getting selected in front of my eyes, I am telling you that only that student gets selected who at this last time does not follow the teachers or the sources and instead revises whatever he has studied, so I am not talking about current affairs alone here, I am talking about every section of yours, brother, if you have understood a meaning in quant, understood a trick, understood a shortcut, same in reasoning, understood a trick of puzzle or you have come across a new strategy of input output, learned a new way of making a syllogism or in English you have studied vocabulary, studied sentence formations, the basic things of grammar, the five-six things that we study, studied concepts in grammar, apart from this, high level You are reading editorials, start revising everything, see I am telling you a very simple thing, what happens in the end during this time, our preparation gets scattered, I mean we follow many sources, we follow teachers, there are PDFs,, so so much of our preparation gets scattered, so use the last 101 days to gather the scattered preparation, gather them, bring them to one place, when will you bring them when you will give proper time to revision in a proper way and will not consider it a burden, brother, I want to tell you the same thing again, I have said it many times before, do not consider revision a burden, do not think that who will do it because whoever does it will get selected this time, whoever does it will prepare diligently in revision, you take my words in writing today, I am ready to give it in writing, only that person will get selected, this time only that person will get selected, who will give time in revision.

I am telling you some basic topics, focus more on them Starting from reasoning brother, if you have not yet read input output in reasoning, I will tell you to read some basic topics once, which is a very small topic of input output, it definitely comes and you can get five marks, if you understand the basics, meaning its concept, then the second topic which is most important and this is the most important topic is critical reasoning brother, I myself am an English educator, still I say that if you want to make critical reasoning and you want to master it, start making it in Hindi, there is no need to get influenced by any teacher, if you have doubts, then once on my advice, try it in the next mock test or sectional mock, in sectional mock, as soon as you go to the reasoning section, change the language to Hindi and try to make it in Hindi, 90% of the time you will be able to answer critical reasoning with 100% accuracy, this is the biggest cheat code which I can give you this in this or in any other, pay attention to critical reasoning because it is a simple topic, it is a bit of a buzz in the market, you can easily make it, plus input output, do both these things well, apart from this, the miscellaneous topics like coded inequalities or coded directions, slog coded blood relation, prepare for them very well because these also come in the exam, because in the mains, you should assume that the level of puzzles is increased a bit, double variable, triple variable will come, it will take time to make them, your confidence will not come that much, the main confidence will come in miscellaneous, it will come in critical reasoning, it will come in input output, do these topics well before you go, okay, next let's talk about quant, see what happens in quant, generally before this time, what are maximum children who run away from arithmetic, do they think that we will do DI well or do our speed maths well If you take it, you will clear the paper but this same case does not come in your mains because you will definitely make DI in mains but your DI will be arithmetic based only, so now I am not saying that you should start reading new chapters at the last moment, if you have not read probability then read it, no I am saying this.

 

Whatever 4 5 6 8 10 12 whatever chapters you have read till now brother you say brother I have read only five chapters brother percentage ratio proportion averages mixture alligation profit and loss and brother I have read a little bit about time speed distance and time and work from the top I am saying these chapters are enough everything will come from these only practice them thoroughly finish these chapters to such a level that if DI comes from these chapters or arithmetic questions come data sufficiency questions come or quantity based questions come then you should not miss any question and these questions will come on these four five six chapters majority paper comes at this time do as much as you know but there is no need to experiment anything new that brother you have not read simple interest compound interest till now, I did not study mensuration; not P & C probability; do better on what you have studied, leave what you have not studied completely; that's it; this is the strategy you have to follow in quant; and if we talk about English, then brother, I will be very honest, very honest with you in English, at this time you should start reading of the highest level, improve your comprehension level, the topic of inference, which also comes in critical reasoning, inference, assumptions, conclusion, cause and effect, which we continuously study in the editorial show class daily in the morning at 7:00 a.m., improve that part because you will see that the better your comprehension part gets, all the topics in English will start appearing easy to you, then whether it is parajumble, cloze test, any topic, now if you have a doubt thatyou do not know parajumble or cloze test, then elder brother listens to me on my saying, right? Take my suggestion, I have taught the foundation batch, these are the topics which will come in the paper 1000% and their weightage is quite good but the level is not high, if you understand the basics of these which no one has explained to you on YouTube till date, which no one is giving in the paid batches, I have taught them, there are one-two hour classes, take them as per my instructions, after that just practice, don't take any class, don't do anything, just practice, that's it, the more you practice in English, consider that it is your key to success, this is your key, the key to success is just practice, what do you have to do with this, take mock tests of 


 

Practice:


English, Quant, Reasoning, these three every alternate day, sectional mock, the more time you give to sectional mock at this time, the more it will benefit you, okay, but while solving sectional mocks, we should not run away from full length mocks here, actually my health is not good right now, my eyes are paining a bit, so you must be feeling a little Your eyes are blinking separately but I am not feeling well, so to be very honest, close your eyes a little so that I am trying my best to speak well, then you have to take sexual mocks on alternate days, for example, today take Quant, tomorrow take Reasoning, then English, then Quant, in this way you have to take one or two sexual mocks every day, plus in the next 12 days you have to take at least three to four full length mocks, yes you have to take full length mocks, that too in single single, there should be one single mock test, it should not happen that just took the mock test, submitted the English, then got up, then did Quant and then submitted half of it again, no, you have to take single single mock test and at least three to four full length mocks have to be taken.

 

Will it work even if you don't attempt full length mocks?, it will work even if you don't attempt any, but what is the benefit of attempting them, because look at your condition today, generally our brain cannot focus on one place for two, two and a half to three hours, and specially till now we have been preparing for prelims, where the entire paper was of one hour, now if we have to push that one hour to two and a half to three hours, because in the mains, you will not be able to get up, you will have to sit there, in the final exam, you will not be able to get up to resume, I will come later, otherwise you will have to sit there, there is no pause, so to get that brain used to it, to put pressure on the brain and to get rid of the fear of the timer, you have to attempt sectional mocks on alternate days. Within the next 10-12 days, at least three to four full length mocks have to be attempted and I am saying this with full responsibility, I am not saying that something like this will happen,, or it is not a big deal, I am telling this when thousands of children have already appeared for the exam. I am telling you about the selections after analysing all the things and you must have understood one thing even after today's result that if I have said anything then I do not say it without data and without analysis.

Whatever I am saying, do it the way I am saying for the next 12 days, it is guaranteed that your score will start improving continuously. Well, there is one more small thing that brother what score should you target in the last day. I had told you earlier also that the score you should target in the last days should be 90 plus including current affairs, that means your score including all the four sections should start going to 90 plus in the end and if you have not completed current affairs yet, then after removing current affairs your score should be in the range of 72 to 75. I am assuming that in the end you will not do some big feat that you get 20 or 25 marks in current affairs. I am assuming 15 to 18 marks, so you have to go to the range of 90 plus because here the maximum The cut off is the maximum cut off, I am saying this is for sure that you get selected, target 90 plus there, if you are doing that much and don't want to do current affairs, then target 70 to 75, combining English, quant, reasoning, now how will you do this, ideally I say that by combining quant and reasoning, try to score around 50 and score the same in English, try to get 20 to 22, these two will add up and your score will automatically reach this range, if you have read a little bit in current affairs, then I would say brother you should target 17 to 20 marks, if you have read, if you still haven't read anything, if it is nil divided by zero, then I would tell you, at this level where you are, try to get 12 to 15 marks, even this much is enough, this much is enough because then you will be able to pull through in the section, how will you prepare for current affairs alone, read PDFs, take, but this is the last time.

 

Along with this, a very good source of current affairs that you can use is mock test. Take sectional mocks of all the current affairs topics, that is, mock tests. Or assume that you must have some mock tests left that you have not used yet and you know that they will not be used, submit them all. Submit them all and go to the current affairs section and open the mocks and solve the paper of each mock. If you solve even five or six mocks, then you will have 250-300 marks, that means you will have 250-300 questions, six or seven mocks alone will have that many.
