Last Minute Tips For IBPS SO Mains 2017-18

IBPS SO Main Examination is scheduled to be held on 28th of January. As it is going to be the Examination for the post of SO, you all must be very anxious about your performance. Bringing it off in this examination will determine your final selection as a Specialist Officer in a public sector Bank. So, all that you need to do two days before the examination is a proficient revision and efficient management of the stress level that you all might be going through because of the examination.  Your best bet would be to be to make the best use of your knowledge and you can only do that if you are unladen.  A little amount of stress is healthy and necessary too for your exam. So students, here are a few revision tips for all those who are going to appear in IBPS SO Main Examination.

Plan:

Go for the examination with a proper plan so that you aren’t barking the wrong trees while attempting the examination. Know what subjects you are good at and where you lag. Attempt the very section first that you are good at and weakest subject in the end. Doing this will ensure that much of the time is not wasted on solving the questions that are difficult to you and in the end, you don’t fail to attempt the section that could get you a higher overall score. Do not stick to a single question if you are not able to solve it. Move forward with the questions that you are able to solve easily, without wasting much of your time on them.

Revision:

It’s high time to revise all the topics that you need to be tremendous at. Sort the important topics into a checklist and settle on how each and every point is to be revised before appearing for the examination. It might sound preposterous on a day just before the examination but trust me, it will help you focus your learning and you won’t be like, “Gee! I was so good at this topic. I could have done better had I revised it well.”

Do not Stress:

Much of stress won’t let you fathom out the questions asked in all four of the subjects. So avoid anything that can stress you out, keep calm and stay focused for the day after tomorrow. It is important for the students to have a positive mindset.

Sleep well:

Take a nap before the exam as it improves memory recall and the ability to concentrate. Do not pull an all-nighter before the day of examination. If you wouldn’t sleep for the whole night, you likely won’t remember much of what you studied anyway. To make the best use of your knowledge, you should try to get at least 8 hours of sleep before the exam especially when it is going to be IBPS SO Mains Examination.

Now take a print out of your admit card and photo identity proof in advance as waiting for the last moment will not in your favor. Do reach the exam center well ahead of time to avoid any unnecessary tension. Confirm the location and all other important things that you need to know about your center in advance so that you don’t waste much of your time in search of your center.
