The final two months before the SBI PO examination should be built around a clear sequence: strengthen the basics, practise under time pressure, analyse every test and protect revision time. A 60-day plan is not a shortcut; it is a structured way to make daily work measurable.
Always read the latest notification and updates on the official SBI Careers page before deciding your pattern, eligibility and exam dates. The paper structure can change between recruitment cycles.
Set a baseline in the first two days
Start with one timed diagnostic mock. Record attempted questions, correct answers, wrong answers, time used per section and questions skipped despite being easy. Your preparation plan should respond to this data, not to a generic timetable.
| Phase | Days | Primary goal |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | 1-20 | Concepts and sectional accuracy |
| Application | 21-40 | Mixed practice and previous questions |
| Simulation | 41-55 | Full mocks and detailed analysis |
| Final revision | 56-60 | Recall, confidence and logistics |
Days 1-20: build dependable basics
Quantitative Aptitude
Focus on percentages, ratio and proportion, averages, profit and loss, simple and compound interest, time and work, time-speed-distance, data interpretation and number series. Learn one reliable method per topic before chasing shortcuts. Keep a formula notebook and note calculation errors.
Reasoning Ability
Build comfort with syllogism, inequalities, coding-decoding, direction sense, blood relations, alphanumeric series and seating or puzzle sets. Work slowly enough to understand the setup, then repeat similar sets with a time cap.
English Language
Revise grammar through error-spotting and sentence-improvement questions. Read a short editorial-style passage daily, practise comprehension and cloze tests, and maintain a vocabulary list with context rather than isolated meanings.
Days 21-40: connect topics with timed practice
Use sectional tests three or four times a week. After every attempt, label errors as a concept gap, calculation mistake, misread instruction, vocabulary gap or poor question choice. Reattempt the same errors after two days. This is where speed begins to improve without sacrificing accuracy.
- Monday: Quantitative Aptitude drill and analysis.
- Tuesday: Reasoning set practice and English comprehension.
- Wednesday: Mixed mini-mock and current banking awareness notes.
- Thursday: Weak-topic repair.
- Friday: Sectional tests.
- Saturday: Full mock or previous-paper practice.
- Sunday: Error-log revision and next-week planning.
Days 41-55: use full mocks properly
Take two or three full mocks per week only if each one receives serious analysis. Reserve at least as much time for review as for the test itself. Look for repeated slow questions and easy questions left unattempted. Test a section order for several mocks before changing it.
Use the D.I.C.E. online mock-test series for structured practice and compare the course approach on the SBI PO coaching in Thane page.
Days 56-60: revise, do not panic
Reduce heavy testing. Review formulas, puzzle approaches, grammar notes, vocabulary, banking-awareness summaries and the most repeated errors from your log. Confirm exam logistics only through official communication. Stable sleep and a calm final week protect performance better than last-minute resource hopping.
How to improve accuracy
Set a personal attempt rule. Answer questions you can solve cleanly first, mark uncertain ones for review and avoid guessing just to increase attempts. Accuracy data from your mocks will show where you should take calculated risks and where you should move on.
Frequently asked questions
Can I prepare for SBI PO in 60 days?
Sixty days can be highly productive if you work from a baseline, revise consistently and analyse tests. A beginner should aim to build a strong foundation rather than depend on a shortcut.
How many mocks should I take?
Two well-analysed mocks each week are usually more valuable than daily tests with shallow review.
What should I revise after a mock?
Prioritise repeated errors, slow methods, low-accuracy topics and easy questions missed under pressure.
