English Section Strategy (IBPS Clerk & SBI Clerk Prelims)

🎯 Smart Attempting Order (Maximizing Score)

1. Error Detection + Fillers + Vocabulary (10–12 Qs, 5 mins)
   * Straightforward, grammar-based, saves time.
   * Accuracy is usually higher → ensures confidence early on.

2. Cloze Test (5–6 Qs, 3–4 mins)
   * Read once, eliminate obvious wrongs, go with contextual fit.

3. Para Jumbles (4–5 Qs, 3–4 mins)
   * Identify opening/closing sentence first.
   * Look for connectors (pronouns, sequence words).

4. Reading Comprehension (7–8 Qs, 6–7 mins)
   * First attempt fact-based (who/what/when).
   * Leave inference-based Qs for last if time is short.
   * For vocab Qs, rely on contextual meaning.

Quick Preparation Tips
Grammar First, Not Rules Alone  Master high-weight topics:

* Subject–Verb Agreement
* Verb Forms & Tenses
* Prepositions
* Articles & Conjunctions

Daily RC Practice  Use short passages from editorials, business/economy news. Focus on:
* Skimming & scanning
* Spotting direct answers
* Eliminating extreme options

⏱️ Time Management Formula
* Grammar + Vocab + Cloze + Fillers → 10–12 mins
* Para Jumble → 3–4 mins
* RC → 6–7 mins

Aim for 20–22 accurate attempts out of 30 → Safe & Selection-worthy.

🔑 Golden Rule for Selection
👉 English is NOT about learning more—it’s about practicing exam-pattern Qs under time pressure
👉 Focus on accuracy in grammar + vocab + speed in RC = 25+ score possible.

We've planned everything, simply trust the process and this where selection & failure is being decided.
