Take Mock Test

During the last days leading to the exam, minimise the number of mock tests. It is not that candidates will completely stop taking mock tests rather take one mock test in a day just to add the much-needed finishing touch to their preparation. Take a mock test to practice time and topic management before the actual face-off. Analyse the performance after the mock test and if candidates score less, do not get disheartened. Focus on the weak areas and in the next mock test, try to improve the score.

Be Careful While Choosing Questions

Candidates should be very careful while choosing questions to attempt in the exam as your every move and decision can make or break your deal. Do not spend too long in any particular section or question. Do not take anything on your ego, candidates may feel that they know the concepts to solve a question and yet unable to crack it during the exam. In such a case, just skip it and try another question. Candidates can skip a question if they feel it is time-consuming. In the end, candidates have to score enough to clear the sectional and overall IBPS RRB cutoff.

Spare Some Extra seconds to carefully read questions

Instruction or directions for a question are very important and candidates should read them for every question they are about to attempt. Candidates can actually save marks by reading directions carefully.

Divide time for each section

Candidates need to keep in mind that they have to attempt a decent number of questions in both sections. Therefore, plan the time accordingly to solve the maximum questions in both sections.

Solve questions with accuracy

Avoid making silly mistakes as they will cost them. Solve and analyse questions carefully, do not presume things, read the directions and be careful as candidates will have negative marking.

Keep calm and be confident

Candidates' confidence will sail them through. No matter what difficulty level candidates will face in the exam, just stay calm and believe in themselves. With a composed mind candidates will be able to crack through. So sleep well and do not stress themselves.
