First understand theory from MK Pandey’s Chapter #3, solve all sums given in MK Pandey. Then move to RS Agarwal’s.
Hence 2. 00. 8 is ignored from the analysis. Reasoning: SSC vs SBI POSSCSBI PONon verbal reasoning involves usual image- series+ paper- folding, mirror reflection test, dice/cubes. Lot of Qs. From Analogy, series, and odd pairs. Hardly. Barely any question on higher level reasoning.(assumption, inference etc.)Lots of. Anyways, let’s start. For the purpose of efficient preparation, I classify reasoning topics into two categories.
Core topics. Majority of the reasoning is asked from these topics. Often in a set of “5 Questions.”So Cost: Benefit ratio is quite good, if you master these topics.

Chillar (peripheral)Barely 2- 3 questions from each topic. Observe this chart: Reasoning approach: Higher Level. Based on the previous papers of SBI, we can see that higher level reasoning is made up of following topics. Fact- assumption- inference- conclusion. Course of Action. Cause effect. Strong/weak argument.
Three Statement Syllogism. While both R. S. Agarwal and BS Sijwali’s books have covered these topics,but problem with both of those books= they merely give you a few solved exams and then give a big list of practice questions. But the basic concepts/ theory /underlying principles are not covered in depth. Then You often face the doubt “why option A is the answer and why not “B” option?” OR “why is this an inference and not an assumption?”So, for SBI PO’s higher level reasoning questions (assumption, inference, strong/weak argument etc), refer to “Analytical Reasoning by MK Pandey (BSC publication)“MK Pandey not only helps you for Higher level reasoning, but also for provides some speed- techniques for usual reasoning topics (such as input output, arrangement, eligibility test, coded inequalities etc.)Anyways the study approach for Higher level Reasoning (for SBI PO) should be like following: Higher Reasoning Topic. Chapter Number. MK Pandey. RS Agarwal. Statement- Assumption.
Inference, conclusion. Strong/ Weak argument. Cause effect. 10. Course of Action.
For example, pickup the topic “Assumptions”. First understand theory from MK Pandey’s Chapter #3, solve all sums given in MK Pandey. Then move to RS Agarwal’s Chapter #3 for extra practice. Therefore, preparation sequence should be: assumption topic–> inference–> strengthen / weaken arguments and so on. If candidate has graduation with 5. Advantage=If you get the question, it’s a set of 4- 5 questions.
Then practice all the sums given in Chapter 1. RS Agarwal. Math Operations+Inequality. They’re usually of three types. Type. Example. BODMAS+ means x,x means – and. Inequality. Try to solve the question by eliminating the “unfit” cases first.
Solve all the questions in RS Agarwal==> Non Verbal portion ==> Series, Analogy and Classification. You may ignore mirrors and paper folding, because usually they’re usually not asked in Bank. PO exams. Practice all exercises. Then practice all sums given in Chapter 1. RS Agarwal. Input Output.
Chapter 1. 3 to 1. MK Pandey then practice Chapter 7 of RS Agarwal. This ends the core topics. Now, Moving to the peripheral topics (i. A man walks 1 km towards East and then he turns to South and walks for 5 kms. Practice all sums given in Chapter 8 of RS Agarwal.
Coding Decoding. Can be of two types. Words. Numbers. Health is written as GSKZDG then North will be written as. Do all the sums given in Chapter #4 of RS Agarwal. Dictionary (Alphabet) tests. Chapter #1. 0 of RS Agarwal.
Misc. Once ^all of above is done, get an overview of the misc. But they only “gather” material. They never “process” the gathered material.
They just spend time in day dreaming and facebook, TV, SMS, PC/mobile games, cricket, loitering around etc. They start serious preparation only AFTER receiving the exam call letter. During the exam, they think, “ya ya ya the marketing and English section is “pappu” so I’m going to solve all questions here. And after that, I’ll go to maths and reasoning section.”They get stuck in lengthy calculations of Data interpretation (because they’ve never practiced multiplication and division @home).
And often make silly mistakes in calculation =negative marking. They waste lots of minutes in sitting arrangement/eligibility test/non- verbal reasoning type questions. Ultimately they cannot even cross the sectional cutoffs.( Getting in the final merit list is a far cry.)So, How to avoid your grave? Maximum revision + Maximum practice @home. Mind will always find excuses (my cousin’s wedding, workload @office, I’m not in the mood. In fact, Syllogism, sitting arrangement, eligibility test etc. So don’t consider them your enemies, make them your weapons.
They’ll be immensely helpful in scoring high marks. When you get the question paper, you don’t have to solve all questions in a continuous sequence i. Reasoning question from 1 to 5.
Then English 1 to 5. DI from 1 to 5. 0.
