For acquiring knowledge related to aptitude, English, reasoning, and current affairs different sources and hard work is necessary. Mock test is one of the sources of acquiring knowledge but which test series is best to opt is the big question as there are various test series available on websites. Some of the test series have good question quality but the exam pattern is different while others have similar exam pattern but the questions are not up the mark.

2. Paper Level- Find whether the paper level available on the website is similar to the exam pattern and IBPS examination level. The level of questions should not be very easy or rigid.

3. Questions Updated According to New Pattern- This parameter is important before purchasing any of the test series. See whether the test series available on websites have updated questions, if not then don’t purchase it, as there are such test series also which provide 2–3 good test series and after that they start repeating the same questions or the questions accessible are outdated.

4. Number of Tests- For thorough practice solves the number of Test Series so that one can attempt the most difficult question in less time span and have a good hold on different subjects and types of questions.

5. Error-free- The mock test series should be free from errors such as spelling error, grammar error and contextual error as these errors create confusion while in practicing time.

6. Mock Test Analysis- Check analysis provided available by Mock Test series after finishing the test whether it is good or not. If it is helping in understanding the preparations made and is giving complete information of yours’ related to the strength and weakness then surely purchase the series as this will help in raising the scorecard

7. Price- The cost of good mock tests should be reasonable. Never think that high price tag of any mock test series consists of good quality questions.

Practicing through mocks test series is indispensable as one gets an idea of what is the exam pattern and will get swift within the exam as RBI has shifted the exam pattern from factual to conceptual. The ability to move quickly and easily is one of the crucial factors in government exams because the time duration given is limited and one is expected to attempt an appreciable number of questions within the time frame provided. Prepare at the minimum 20-30 mock test for phase I or prelims and analysis them and the performance in each section which will help in preparations. The main objective of giving mock tests should be assessing the level of preparation, improving scorecards with each test and learning how to manage time. Time invested in giving the mock test important as this helps in the judgment of difficulty level of question and will learn types of questions one can face during the examination. When the analysis is done it helps to identify and improves the score. Exam analytics will help in identifying which questions should be attempted first, which should be skipped, improvement in speed and accuracy in the chapters which are stronger for oneself. The most important is explanations of answer as the ultimate aim to improve learning as answer explanations help to learn short-cut methods in reasoning and quantitative aptitude and improving the General Awareness, English, ESI (Economics and Social Issues) and FM (Finance and Management).

Analyze performance thoroughly and scientifically to improve the score of practice tests/mock tests. For evaluation and analysis identify weak and strong points section-wise, compare scores obtained in each section and compare the time taken in solving per-question as speed and accuracy are required to crack any exam which helps in time management. Identify areas of improvement and score more by more practice and learning fundamentals. Instead of attempting questions related to weak points, skip them as these questions will waste lots of time in solving and may lead to more mistakes as attempting the right question is more important. For the clearing phase, I focus mainly on improving speed and accuracy to score sectional cut-off. While in Phase II score maximum for final selection. As in Phase II time is no a constraint, what matters is the knowledge of the subject. One to two weeks prior the exams try to attempt one mock test daily but beforehand complete entire the syllabus. Focus on improving the score by analyzing the performance. Spend time in learning the subject while preparation and give section-wise test.
