How to prepare for IBPS AFO Exam?

Put your heart and soul into studying while preparing for any exam. You should be focused and avoid all those matters that could waver your attention.

Do not go deep into the theoretical and conceptual knowledge. Know the syllabus and prepare the important aspects of each topic. Prepare study notes for quick revision.

Prepare using the best books. You do not want books that would shake the foundation of your knowledge and give misinformation. So, seek the guidance of teachers and also from those who have cleared the exam in choosing the right book for preparation.

Do not just limit your preparation to just preliminary exams and wait till you clear the preliminary exams. Most often, the time to prepare for the mains and interview after the preliminary exam will be less. So, aim higher and prepare for mains and interview ahead.

Do not underestimate the power of practice. Practice as much as you can. Attempt mock tests and other quizzes and exams as much as possible.

Be aware of the various banks and its headquarters.
