Reasoning: Build speed in syllogism, coding-decoding, blood relations, direction sense and inequalities.

English: Focus on grammar rules, vocabulary, error detection and sentence improvement.

Banking Awareness: Revise RBI, SEBI, NABARD, NPCI, digital banking, cooperative banking and recent financial-sector developments.

Time management: Do not spend excessive time on one difficult question. Mark it and move ahead.
