  2. I cracked SBI PO mains and waiting 4 the final result.As far my view cutoff for generel would be in the range of 70-75/200,definitely not more than that bcoz the paper was devastating.And it might go 100/250 for generel candidates.

  3. Is 3.5 hour ki Super Horror movie ke baad lag raha hai hum me se koi Conjuring dekhe to hussi aa jayegi usse..

    Sabse pehle Reasoning – jo puzzle solve karo hoye hi na.. Ek na ek jagah aa ke garrari fas jaye.. Hud to ABCDE sitting toards north and PQRST sitting towards south me hui.. With each row having one vacant seat.. 3rd line pe hi aisa fasa dia like 100 % A wala banda green ke saamne aa raha tha but 3rd line was A is not sitting adjasant to Green.. I was like What the Fish.. ? Are you serious ?? Tried resolving it 3 times but every time A came in front of green.. Then I finally realised 12 minutes have gone.. So moved on to next puzzle.. 7 persons sitting in row from AM to CEO and each liking one thing ( dont remember what was it ) har tarah se solve kar liya isse bhi but kisi tarah se solve hone ka matlab hi ni ban raha tha.. After I hd wasted 25 costly minutes of mine in unsolvable puzzles ( aisa pehli baar hua tha 17-18 saalo me :p ) I finally moved on to other bits n katre katre kar ke kuch tukke attach kar ke complete ki reasoning.. ( with one solved puzzle ) ????
    Then came GA.. Usme 8-10 pata the like DBS mobile bank except that saare tukke 😉 online check kar ke pata chala bohat saare galat h jisme.. ( majority ) ab hume kya pata hoga ki ye ki maputu kaha ki capital hai.. Banks me FDI jitna mujhe pata tha 49 % thi.. Kaha se pata chalega ki RBI ne 74 % kar di h ??
    Then my fav section was about to come – English.. I was getting restless to do English and score some real marks – mind you I scored 35-38 out of 40 in mocks.. Eng start kari to laga ye ky chinese de di kya inhone english ki jagah.. Fill in the blanks hote they.. Yaha ‘fill in the lines’ in paragraph hai with 5 lines all feeling same.. Ek aur puzzle thi… Hahaha.. Usme 5 lines di hui thi n we had to choore the odd one out.. But here :O all the lines were interlinked too.. First tha jo usme 4 lines me advertising word tha n 5th me marketing n for sure marketing was part of paragraph.. Ab banda kare to kare kya :/ ianyway isme bhi tukke vukke mar ke complete kia n then came DI – DI more difficult then i have ever attempted.. I mean DI ki h pehle bhi but ye to kya hi tha.. Most difficult ever.. DI me pehle hi beda garg tha but aaj to ????
    So finally 3 ghante ki horror movie khatm hui.. and after which I was in complete shock.. Thank god descriptive test was fine – usme letter kia pehle 15 min me – Youth ke selfie craze ke pange… Then moved on to essay.. In that found out Pokemon GO vs Importance of history.. As letter me pehle hi youth ki aache se le chuka tha so pokemon GO ko baksh dia and did importance of history of a nation ( finally kuch aacha hua jisme i am expecting 40 out of 50 ) but over all Completely depends on cut off and kitne tukke sahi jagah pe lage ????

  4. I have attempted 59 Questions (GENERAL candidate)
    English – 28 (75%)
    Aptitude- 17 (100%)
    Reasoning- 14 (100%)
    Any chance for me? please answer. Thanks in advance.

  5. Fellow (90% above English scoring) aspirants!

    I am a GMAT aspirant and in my free-time, love answering queries and doubts on any of the sections appearing in Bank exams, ESPECIALLY those of Reasoning and English.

    I have some creative ways of practising english up my sleeve that have helped my friends as well as myself to get to the comfort level that we have with the language today. So, feel free to ask me questions.

    Also, I have thought of a few game plans to help incorporate genteel(sophisticated) english into your everyday lives that may help you tremendously in your upcoming exams.

    My intention is to form a study-group of enthusiastic exam-takers and other interested parties. The point is to practice increasing our vocabulary base with three words per week agenda on top of practising grammar and sentence correction techniques.

    Even if I get a group of merely 5 people to study with me, I shall be more than excited to carry forth with my plan.

    Who wants in…?
