  • Leave The Questions That Is Completely Foreign To You: Never guess blindly. Answer only those questions that you are confident or otherwise it may cause negative marking. Also make sure you are not skipping too many unknown questions as this will reduce your overall score in the bank exam.
  • Make Inteligent Guesses: When you are answering unfamiliar questions, make some intelligent guesses. Guess only if you are confused between two options as your chances of getting it right are 50%. Don't answer the question, if you are confused between more than 2 options.
  • Have A Clear Idea Of When To Start Attempting And Guessing: You must know how many questions to attempt so that you can avoid guessing once you have attempted that many questions. By having a rough idea about the expected cut-off, you will know when to stop attempting and guessing.
  • Luck Testing: Usually unpreprepared candidates use this trick in bank exam. This is not the right way to solve as these candidates often end up by getting negative marks.
