Navigating IBPS PO 2020: Preparing for a Competitive Exam
Given your past performance in the IBPS PO Prelims 2019, securing just 61 marks, it's natural to wonder about your chances of success for the 2020 exam. While your previous results provide some insight, they are only one part of the equation. Your preparation for this year is independent of last year's performance, and there are numerous success stories to support this.
Many candidates have improved their performance significantly after multiple attempts, while others have achieved their goals in their first attempts. The number of available vacancies in 2020 is lower than in previous years, but the critical factor is your level of preparation. With the right approach, improving your chances of success is within reach.
Focus on Your Preparation
The success of your preparation is reflected in your mock test performance, particularly your percentile rankings. These tests are crucial as they simulate the actual exam environment and help you identify weak areas for improvement. By focusing on mock tests and consistently analyzing your performance, you can build the confidence and skills needed to excel.
With multiple banks still not announcing their official vacancies, the final number of positions might be around 3000. This lower number of vacancies does not necessarily impact the quality of your preparation. Instead, it emphasizes the importance of thorough preparation and a strong performance.
Improving Your Chances
To increase your chances of selection, you need to set a realistic goal. Try to attempt at least 75 questions accurately in each preliminary exam. This approach ensures that you are well-prepared and reduce the risk of underperforming. Consistent practice is key, so aim to give at least two mock tests daily and thoroughly review all unsolved or incorrectly answered questions.
Strive for a percentile ranking in the range of 85-90. This target reflects a high level of preparation and should be a reasonable goal to aim for. By maintaining a high percentile, you ensure that you stand out among the applicants.
Final Thoughts and Encouragement
While the number of vacancies may be less, your level of preparation can still help you overcome the challenge. Focus on consistent mock test practice and continuous improvement. Remember that you are competing not for the number of seats but for one seat. Believe in your abilities and keep preparing with dedication and hard work.
Wishing you all the best on your journey to success in the IBPS PO 2020 exams.
