State Bank of India has releasedd the details of scores of candidates in SBI Associate Exam held on 07-08-2011.
Based on this and also on score of SBI PO- 2011 (held on 24-07-2011) , I have concluded some points which only verifies my observations on this PO exam system which i have been trying to study and break its code.
The general observations , as can be drawn from previous exams too are :
1) 44-47% scores are required in 1st stage of objective paper to clear these PO Exams.
2) For Final Selections 52-55% scores are comfortable scores and you can expect selection.
3) Targetting atleast Two sections is a must for clearing the overall cut-off. Scoring about 70%+ in atleast Two sections and clearing cut-offfs in remaining two is a good strategy.
4) Difficultly Level or No. of Candidates or even The Number of seats DOES NOT AFFECT THE OVERALL AND/OR SECTIONAL CUT-OFFS GREATLY...THEY REMAIN ALMOST CONSTANT WITH +-2% .
5) CWE PO , is no different exam But it being based on Relative scoring and standardization method , thus there is an artificial higher score than one gets in SBI PO exam , But essentially these are similar scores, Don't panick.
6)
The Time Management Scheme provided below , is justified by these score results, as it gives minimum time for scoring sections like GK , Computer,English but at the same time
The Time Management Scheme Does Not Lower their Value rather gives Full Importance to them as required in a PO exam and asks you to read and attempt all 50 questions in these sections (if u know) pushing your limits. Infact ,
The Time Managment Scheme below tries to maximise your scores in minimum possible time.
The logical Reasoning and Quantitative Aptitude Sections have their limitations and need time of solving.
PS: Do Not target Cut-Offs of 24 marks for CWE PO. Remember these were Relative/Standardized cut-offs and not the actual cut-offs. Actual Cut-offs will be lower. NO SECTIONS SHOULD BE LEFT UNATTEMPTED/UNREAD , THIS WILL LEAD TO FAILURE....
