SBI Clerk 2020 Preparation Tips:
As you all know the SBI Clerk notification is released, you should start preparing for this with sheer
determination. The State Bank of India has released expected 9000 vacancies this year. SBI Clerk Prelims
examination will begin in the month of June. So, it’s a great time for you to grab the opportunity and crack

examination and a large number of candidates are preparing for the same. Additionally, the difficulty level of
this exam increases every year. So, here some important tips and tricks are presented which will definitely
help you preparing this examination:
1. Time management is one of the crucial concerns while attempting this exam. It is to be noted here that
like the previous year, there is sectional timing in the prelims exam. This is the reason candidates have to be
more conscious about the time while attempting every question. Additionally, it is suggested that you not
think that you will attempt your favorite subject as there is no sectional cut off in Prelims. On the contrary,
you should prepare for each of the subjects cautiously as you will be given a sectional timing in the Prelims
exam.
2. Another important point to be kept in mind is that it does not work if you first prepare for the Prelims
examination and start preparing for Mains after you clear the Prelims because there is not much time
14. between Prelims and Mains. So, you might not get enough time to prepare for Mains. The best way is to
prepare for both simultaneously. This way you can get ample time to prepare each of the subjects well.
3. The practice is the key to success. Students should go through all SBI Clerk previous year question papers.
Sectional or full-length mock tests can be taken for the practice. You can also visit www.makemyexam.in for
practice as it provides questions according to the updated syllabus and updated pattern of upcoming
examinations. Some of the benefits of practice are:
By practicing, you will know where you stand and how much preparation is required to crack the exam in a
single attempt.
By practicing, you will also know about silly mistakes you make which can be avoided.
By practicing, you will become habitual of dealing with the questions appear in the exam in a fixed amount
of time.
All in all, the regular practice boosts your preparation.
4. Candidates should know that what the pattern of the examination is going to be. You can have look at the
pattern of SBI Clerk Prelims examination 2019:
Sr. No. Name of Tests(Objective) No. of Questions Maximum Marks Total Time
1 English Language 30 30 20 Minutes
2 Numerical Ability 35 35 20 Minutes
3 Reasoning Ability 35 35 20 Minutes
Total 100 100 1 Hour
There will be three tests – English Language, Quantitative Aptitude, and Reasoning Ability. Sectional time of
20 minutes will be allotted for each test. There is a negative marking of ¼ marks for every incorrect answer
marked by the candidate.
The golden tip to qualify the exam is to keep composure while answering the questions. Since nervousness
