Q & A

What is the suggested timeline for preparing for the SBI PO and Clerk exams?

The recommended timeline starts from November, with a focus on current affairs and general awareness. The speaker suggests starting with daily current affairs from November 1st and covering previous months (July, August, September) using monthly batches or recorded sessions.

How should one approach the preparation for current affairs?

The speaker advises following daily current affairs updates from November onward, ideally by joining a 7 AM daily class or reviewing PDFs. Previous months' current affairs can be covered through monthly batches or recorded classes.

Is it necessary to make notes for current affairs preparation?

The speaker suggests that making notes is not essential. Instead, candidates should print out PDFs of the current affairs material and focus on revising them multiple times to ensure better retention.

What resources are recommended for financial and banking awareness?

The speaker recommends using the 'Saarthi 2.0' series, which is designed to cover financial and banking awareness in-depth. Additionally, topics like fiscal deficit formulas and government schemes should be studied through classes rather than books.

Why is it important to stay updated with financial and banking topics?

Financial and banking topics, such as fiscal deficit, RBI policies, government schemes, and UPI limits, are frequently asked in SBI PO and Clerk exams. Staying updated ensures candidates are well-prepared for both the written test and the interview.

What should candidates do if they cannot attend the daily 7 AM class?

If candidates cannot attend the daily 7 AM class, they can follow monthly or weekly current affairs batches. These batches cover all relevant topics and provide a structured approach to current affairs preparation.

What are the benefits of following the Saarthi 2.0 series?

The Saarthi 2.0 series is designed to cover both general awareness and financial awareness topics in a systematic manner. It includes all necessary information for SBI PO and Clerk exams and provides candidates with an organized, easy-to-understand approach to preparation.

How can candidates balance the preparation of current affairs and financial awareness?

Candidates should prioritize daily current affairs and, in parallel, focus on financial and banking awareness by using classes or resources like the Saarthi 2.0 series. The key is consistent revision and ensuring both areas are covered thoroughly.

What is the importance of focusing on financial awareness during the SBI PO preparation?

Financial awareness is crucial because SBI PO exams often test knowledge of economic policies, government schemes, fiscal deficit formulas, and monetary policies. These topics are regularly included in both the written test and interview stage.

What should candidates do if they miss the daily current affairs sessions?

If candidates miss the daily sessions, they should catch up by reviewing the relevant month's current affairs through recorded sessions or monthly current affairs batches. It is essential not to miss any critical updates, especially for the interview stage.
