3. English Language
SBI PO English paper is tough, if we compare with other competitive exams.Focus on English
grammar & its deep concepts like verbs, adverbs, adjectives, noun, pronoun etc. And a good
command on vocabulary would help you overcome the questions asked in the paper.
Which questions you should attempt first:
1. Fill in the Blanks.
2. Cloze Test
3. Common Error in Sentence
4. Para Jumbled
5. Passage Based questions
We recommend you to read comprehensions, if you have time at last, because if you are not able to
understand in the middle of the passage, your time will be wasted. If you want to answer early, dont
spend too much of time for it. Set some time and follow the same.
Many candidates spend too much time to read passage. If you are not good in reading
comprehensions so it is better to skip it. You can answer the questions just by reading the option and
eliminate the option by reading the passage. You will get idea which answer is too close to the
question.
We strongly recommend you to learn the grammar part as much you can. If you are good at grammar,
you can answer easily within less amount of time.
It is very important in PO exams that you have to know which question you have to leave and which
question you have to answer first. There will be 20 questions from grammar section. If you can
answer at least 15, you will be in safe zone.
4. General Awareness/Marketing/Computer Knowledge: This is the easiest section in SBI PO
Exam.
For GK, please read the newspaper daily and make a notebook for that and note down the important
news which is relevant for exam. Read the Daily Gk Updates on daily basis which is posted on our

Note: In Gk section questions asked in a detail way. So you have to study the banking awareness
