I am a graduate and working with a pharma co. as Territory Manager. Though I am very inclined towards the Bank PO job. I want to know how can I prepare for the exams? While giving exams of different banks I find out that in QA and DI most of the question are easy to crack but I always face problems in managing the time for other sections. Also, my reasoning solving skill is below average. Kindly, give some suggestions for time-management and enhancing my reasoning ability skill. Regards, Mohit	Mohit	2011-01-26 01:39:09 560
Dear Krishnan, Don't lose hope, But pracice more on QA from Different sources like Aditya , Trishna Series. Apart from these you need to practice the speed mathematics for different short cuts. If poss. go for a coaching.	Raja Vikram - Author	2011-01-27 07:45:29 563
Dear Mohit, Its good to listen from your end that you are working in a proffesion where Time management is very much required, Please apply the same techniques here too but in a different manner. Take some practice papers and fix the time, do not get up for anyother work while doing these. Finish the paper and then turn on to other works. Practice for at around 50-75 tests for perfection and to get an entry as P.O.	Raja Vikram - Author	2011-01-27 07:51:13 564

Dear Mr. Arun Kumar, Practice more , work on the books from R.S.Agarwal which will clear your confusion in it. But practice more with understanding . You can acheive good marks in QA too.	Raja Vikram - Author	2011-02-16 07:24:55 601
Dear Animesh, It depends upon different criterias to get a call from a bank. But you need to clear the required cut off in each section which you are doing. If you can work something more on English and reasoning you may get a call easily leaving behind good marks in QA.	Raja Vikram - Author	2011-02-16 07:27:40 602

Dear Jasdeep, Do not get down, work tactically with QA and English. As you are good in other sections so try to work some more on QA to handle the things in a better way. But Banks always look at Reasoning and QA score, because it shows your analytical ability. Try to do good in those areas.	Raja Vikram - Author	2011-02-26 21:25:10 634
