SBI Clerks Exam on 20th July 2014 (Afternoon Session) Experience

Hi friends I am Hemnath from Tamilnadu, I would like to share my experience. My exam was held on 20th July 2014 (Afternoon Session)

First section i attended was General Awareness

about 22 questions were very easy you can get the answers at first glance

Questions i feel tough in that section are

1. Number of villages in India
2. A question related to RBI
3. P5+1 country
4. Economic summit
5. USA bank name- ans federal reserve
6. Election one question if a candidate win two seats like our pm within how many days he has to resign

Some questions related to banking and current affairs

Don't study only last six months current affairs..focus on last ten months.  

Focus on new schemes related to bank.

The easy question in my exam are

1. Committee formed to investigate ipl
2. HRD minister
3. Profession of finance minister

If you feel weak in this section just follow basic things correctly.

See the committee, Cups, Elections, Ministry, Appointments, Related to Bank heads..

Computer & Marketing 
In marketing no basic questions involved and questions are practically thinking and confusing..little bit tricky..prepare marketing a par above. not tough but time required to answer. I am unable to recollect the marketing questions. Sorry for that. 

For Computer Knowledge follow basic topics correctly

• about memory
• keys in the key board
• about printers
• concentrate on xcel
• question
• chart gives ....
• data related question
• related to hard ware and software
• input and out put device
• questions like which of the following are output device
• one question related to input device

If you feel marketing is tough, then  go for only computer you can easily able to do 22 questions.but prepare well computer knowledge

English
Most of the people say that the passages are lengthy and time consuming but my advice is... spend little time on it...  Just a story is given and 10 question are asked. You can easily get them in less time, with good accuracy. 

then substitution also five questions,
if any one feel weak in english go for this section first you can get up to 12 marks then you go for remaining sections

ReasoningThis section was only time consuming, nothing tricky

• Same linear arrangements
• circular arrange ment facing centre and outside
• directions
• sllygism(very easy)
• then  blood relations

Aptitude
My sincere advice is "Go for Data Interpretation first". Five questions based on basic maths (addition subraction ,average ,percentage only). You will get five marks easily.
Then go for series..two easy questions you will get.
Then if you are good with numbers go for it if not go for Average. Ratio proportions, Time and work, Profit and loss and SI.
You can easily attend 15 questions, for remaining questions you have to think and work. 

Some Tips : Once you entered the exam hall they will give rough papers collect two or three rough papers. You will have one hr time for basic formalities like signature, thumb impressions etc. Don't idle at this time,  write reverse pair  letters like az,by,cx, sq no 1 to 50,cubes 1 to 15, Positions and place values of letters etc. These will definitely come handy to you during your exam.

My mistake is I attended English as 3rd but I advise you to keep it last..because it needs little time only (about 20 min) I wasted 20 min extra here as questions are very easy, they tempted me to attempt more questions...  after computr go for reasoning, Aptitude then English.. So that you can able to attend more questions in apti and reasoning with free mind...at last minute I was in a hurry and i cant able get answers for aptitude questions...now i feel english should be done at last

All the best guys ...if anyone feel inspired by seeing my  review i will be very happy.
