The notifications are already out and now you just need to buckle up and start revising. You must revise each and every formula. Make your mind ready, but remember, Do Not Panic. Everything is gone once you start panicking, trust me. You need to take it easy and just chill. Preparation is complete, even if not, don’t start any new topic a month before exam. This never helps. Instead practice a lot on the already covered topics.
Start solving the previous year question banks of Bank PO exam. Don’t just complete the question set once and then think that your preparation is over. You need to solve the question bank at least for two or three times. Only then, you will be able to have a good grasp on various topics. Try to write at least one exam daily and also analyze your score. This will remove the exam fear at the actual day of the exam. Keep on updating your General Awareness. All of these will help you gain confidence. And believe me, once you are confident, you can crack any examination.
All the very best for your exam and I hope you get the desired results.
