• The bank PO exam consists of four sections; Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude, General Awareness and English language. Out of the total time of 2 hours and 15 minutes, this comes to around 36 seconds for each question.
• However, the time being given to each section can't be equal, since each applicant has his/her strengths and weaknesses. The most important step should be to identify which section is your strength, and, even more importantly, is it at a level which you can attempt successfully and score higher, since it often happens that the section your are the best at among all the four is the hardest of the lot. Hence, giving maximum time to your strength is not always the best thing to do. Analyze the complete paper and then apportion your time. This might take 5-10 minutes, but would prove to be very useful for the rest of the time.
