IBPS English compared to other

exams

1. Unlike SSC, this doesn’t have dedicated

questions on idioms and phrases.

2. IBPS’s Vocabulary based questions are easier

than the level asked in SSC-CGL and CDS exam.

3. Unlike SSC, there are no questions on spelling-

correction, active-passive, direct-indirect

speech.

4. In SSC and CAT, one sentence arrangement

case is followed by one question only. Here in

IBPS, one sentence arrangement case is

followed by 5 questions.

5. In 2012’s paper, one extremely-lengthy passage

is followed by 15 questions. Reminds me of the

old CAT papers, they too used to give extremely

lengthy passages- but only 5 questions on

individual passage.

6. Like SSC CGL, you’re given a passage followed

by 5-10 blanks.

7. In SSC-CGL, one fill in the blanks= has only one

answer. Here you’ve to pick two answers for

each blank.

Booklist for English Section of

IBPS PO

Any one book on

IBPS/BankPO

Paper sets(for

practicing MCQs

on English, Data

Interpretation,

Banking etc.)

1. Arihant’s paperset of

previous Bank PO exams

2. Kiran Prakashan’s Practice

book workbook for IBPS

PO/MT (with FREE CD for

computer test)

3. If you’ve paperset from any

other publication, that’ll also

work just fine.

Any one book

for comprehension + sentence

arrangement, you can rely on

^paperset+pagalguy.com

for vocabulary, use “wordweb”

software(free)

But for sentence correct and

fill in the blanks, you first need

a clear grasp over grammar.

Plenty of books in the market,

1. Paperset by Arihant / Kiran Prakashan

2. Previous papers of Combined Defense Service

3. Last two years’ UPSC CSAT Aptitude Papers.

(although difficulty level would go in a different

Sample Question from 2011’s Paper

Instructions: Rearrange the following seven

sentences (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) and (G) in the

proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph;

then answer the questions given below them.

1. To elaborate briefly on these characteristics

and dimensions that the author is talking about

—NRMs are general tests intended to be used

to classify students by percentile for measuring

either aptitude or proficiency for admissions

into or placement within a programme.

2. Contrastingly, the CRM, such as a locally

produced achievement test, measures absolute

performance that is compared only with the

learning objective, hence a perfect score is

theoretically obtainable by all students who

have a mastery of the pre- specified material,

or conversely, all students may fail the test.

measurement strategy as either norm-

referenced (NRM) or criterion-referenced (CRM).

4. Another author points out how the type of

interpretation that an NRM offers is the relative

performance of the students compared with

that of all the others resulting in, ideally, a bell

curve distribution.

5. Numerous books on constructing and using

language tests have been written by various

authors.

6. CRMs, on the other hand, are more specific

achievement or diagnostic tests intended to be

used for motivating students by measuring to

what per cent they have achieved mastery of

the taught or learned material.

7. One of the authors clearly delineates the

differences of these two types by focusing on

the categories of “test characteristics” and

“logistical dimensions”.

#3: Vocabulary

Synonym, antonym questions are usually

based on the comprehension passage. (except

2011’s paper) Hence it doesn’t pose as big

challenge as ‘absolute’ vocabulary questions

asked in SSC/CDS.

But you must be clear about the usage of

certain confusing words. Because they might

indirectly come in the sentence correct / fil l

in the blanks. For example:

CONFUSING WORD WRONG RIGHT

1. Advice=as an object

you give it to

somebody.

2. Advise=as verb, the

‘activity’ of giving

advice.

Whenever you solve comprehension passages

at home or read any English

book/newspaper/web-article, you should note

down any unfamiliar words in a separate diary.

Download and Install a free software called

Wordweb (http://wordweb.info/free/)

Look up the meaning of those words in

wordweb software, note down the meanings in

the same diary.

Revise this diary once in a while. Don’t stop this

exercise after the exam is over. Continue it,

until you’re selected in your dream job.

Grammar part

In grammar, they ask two types of questions

1. sentence correction

2. Fill in the blanks.

In IBPS-2012, we can see that 30 out 50 English

questions were from grammar part only. English

grammar is made up of many rules and caveats,

but from competitive exam point of view, you don’t

need to cover everything. Focus on following areas

first:

Prepositions

Often, the sentence correction / Fill in the blanks

questions will test your understanding of

prepositions. For example

WRONG RIGHT

What is the time in your

watch?

What is the time by your

watch?

We traveled in train. We traveled by train.

He was trembling in rage.He was trembling with

rage.

There was an interesting

show in TV.

There was an interesting

show on TV

So you must be clear about the usage of

prepositions from your grammar book / via

internet.

Phrasal Verbs

Phrasal verbs do not always follow the rules of

preposition.Example

phrasal

verbright use wrong use

look down

on=consider

inferior

Most parents

look down on

the government

schools.

Most parents looks

down upon the

government

schools.

come down

with=become

sick

My brother came

down with

typhoid last week.

My brother came

down from

typhoid last week.

So, mugup the list of common phrasal verbs +

examples, from your grammar book / via internet.

Singular Plural related

This is another favorite area for sentence

correction and fill in the blanks.

WRONG RIGHT
