Smart Study Tips for IBPS PO Preparation
🧠 1. Use Flashcards Daily — Even If Just for 10 Minutes
Consistency > Intensity. Studying 10–15 flashcards daily trains your brain through repetition. It's better than cramming 100 in one go.
⏱️ 2. Break Study Into Small Sessions (Pomodoro Style)
Study in 25-minute bursts with 5-minute breaks. Use the flashcards in between other tasks — while commuting, waiting, or during tea breaks.
🎯 3. Focus on Accuracy First, Speed Will Follow
Don’t rush. Understand why an answer is right or wrong. When concepts are clear, speed comes naturally in mocks and the real exam.
📅 4. Revise Difficult Cards More Often
Swipe left on cards you forget. Revisit these every few days to convert weak spots into strengths.
🔍 5. Start With High-Weightage Topics
Prioritize Vocabulary, Banking Awareness, and Current Affairs — these appear directly in Prelims and Mains and are scoring-heavy.
🧾 6. Make a “Mistake List”
Whenever you get something wrong, note it down. Review your mistake list weekly. This builds exam awareness and avoids repeat errors.
🔁 7. Keep Revising Previous Month’s Current Affairs
Don’t just focus on the latest month. IBPS PO often asks questions from 3–6 months prior. Make sure you loop back regularly.
🔓 Bonus Tip:
Mock Tests + Flashcards = Full Preparation.
Flashcards help you revise and retain. Mocks help you test and perform. Combine both for best results.
