The secret to improving English for Bank exams

The English section in bank examinations are crucial and if you can score high in that section chances are that you will have an overall enhanced chance of success. Normally every aspirant is expected to be strong in 6 different aspects such as general banking awareness, general knowledge, aptitude, logical reasoning and English.  While it is very important that you score good in other subjects too, most Indian students who aim to appear for bank clerk and PO exams struggle with their command over English. Here we will share 3 simple steps to score high in the English section in your competitive bank examination.

1. Understand what your shortcomings are

Are you generally weak in all aspects of English? Remember, the examination does not need you to be an advanced speaker of the language, this is not as important as knowing basic grammar rules very well. This is what is going to give you more marks. Download the IBPS syllabus from a reputed website and checkout what sections under English you are going to see in your exam. Get a piece of paper and write down which sections in the syllabus you need to improve upon.

2. Get ready to work hard

Make a mental note to prepare really hard for every subject, not just English. If you are not too strong with your general banking awareness then you need to work on that too.  Be prepared to put in more time and effort on your studies. Get rid of all distractions and prioritize imoritanr things in your life. If you can manage without something use that time to prepare for your exam.

3. Find a good coaching centre

Recently many aspirants are of the view that preparing at home is the better thing to do instead of enrolling for a banking awareness coaching centre. The reason some people think that is either because they do not want or cannot spend the money for it, of they are skeptical of how useful coaching classes are. Our observationis that if you can join a reputed coaching class that spends enough time and effort to train their candidates there is nothing wrong with it. You will also get to meet likeminded students and that will help you stay updated on latest information regarding examination dates, notifications, books and that sort of stuff. But the final decision rests on you.  If you can prepare well without the assistance of a coaching center, go for it.

In conclusion, know your strengths and weaknesses, work diligently towards improving your knowledge and skills and practice a lot. Success will be yours.
