Points to Ponder For Exam Preparation
•    First of all, clear your basic concepts for numerical ability section. Then, refer some high quality books like R.S agarwal to solve problems.
•    For Test of reasoning preparation, solve as much as verbal and non-verbal questions. This way, you can easily crack the answers in the examination hall.
•    Buy last year question papers of bank exam from market or download from online and solve them within time frame.  By doing so, you can not only know your current position, but you can quickly solve the questions.
•    While practicing the question paper, you must attempt every section of the paper as in the bank exams, passing with minimum qualification marks in each individual section is essential. So prepare yourself accordingly. If you attempt one section well and you don’t get much time to attempt another section, you will not be eligible for the interview call.
•    Also, you should never attempt the question for which you’re not 100% sure as there is negative marking too for every incorrect answer.
