Common Written Exam -P.O. -- Books suggested

NOTE:
Please search for different subjects like reasoning, QA,english, computer awareness, marketing , bank interview, economics etc. U will get a lot of my blogs posted during the last two years. Read them. if u have doubts send email to samba.ssivan@gmail.com
Many times candidates ask me for guidance regarding preparation for this examination and hence I thought it fit to write a blog for the same.

First ensure you like mathematics and you enjoy mathematics. Then revise tables upto 20. (ex. 20x 19 = 380, 16 x 16 =256). You must be thorough with squares upto 50. Then cubes upto 25. Use calculators prepare and then be sure. Then u must be thorough with formulae for square, rectangle, circle, sphere, parallologram, cube, cylinder etc.

Now coming to books:

If u can prepare seriously - say four to five hours per day and are interested in doing methodical preparation:

1. English -- Objective English by Hari Mohan prasad (Tata Mcgraw Hill Publications)

2. Quantitative Aptitude - R.S.Agarwal (S.Chand & Co.New Delhi)

3. Verbal Reasoning and Non verbal Reasoning - R.S.Agarwal (S.Chand and Company, New delhi
The Pearson Guide to Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation-for the CAT 2/e
(in some exams especially SBI Po exams questions of CAT level are asked)

4. General Awareness -- the Hindu last six months + Banking and economics - Business Studies Plus Two text books (CBSE or State Board)

5. Computer Awareness --- Kiran publication or BSC chronicle publication


Besides this I recommend you reading any one or two competition magazine like
Banking Service chronicle or Pratyogita Darpan or Competition Refresher or Competition Success Review.

You can also look into www.indiabix.com, www.bankpo.in for occasional guidance and to know developments.

IF YOU CANNOT ALLOT MORE TIME BECAUSE YOU ARE EMPLOYED -- then go for Bank P.O. Recruitment - SAKTHI PUBLICAATIONS, CHENNAI.
