How to prepare for SBI SO Exam : Quantitative Aptitude ?

In SBI SO Exam , it is required to get just minimum cut off marks in Quantitative Aptitude Section. Scores obtained in this section are not considered for the merit list. So, its better to learn important topics in depth rather than covering the whole syllabus. We analyzed previous years question papers and found questions are asked frequently from below mentioned topics.

Important Topics :
1.BODMAS, Simplification,
2.% profit loss,
3. Simple and Compound Interest,
4. Time Speed Distance, Pipes and Cisterns,
5. Geometry- only area, perimeter of square, rectangle, circle. (At most volume of sphere, cube, cone, cylinder and cuboid,
6. Within data interpretation (DI), go for the “Table/piechart” type MCQs- mainly those requiring multiplication, addition or subtraction.

Note : Pay less importance to Trigonometry, quadratic equations, logarithms, coordinate geometry. Because they don’t ask it in SBI. So don’t waste time in those topics.
