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....
