Gather Study material: The most important thing in any exam is the study material. You need not to go for different books for each subject. Just purchase a common IBPS exam book for all the subjects. Also, collect as many sample papers and question-answers you can find. Candidates, who are appearing for IT officer exam, can find a common book for professional knowledge paper. You can use subject specific books or reference books if you want help in a particular topic.

Make a study Plan: It is very important to have a strategy or plan of study. Many people start studying with great enthusiasm, but they end up getting bored without a proper plan. If you have a strategy, you will not likely deviate from your schedule. Make an effective plan to include all the subjects in specific time frames. Also, assign time for things other than study.

Be regular and strict: If you want to get success in life, you need to include some discipline in your routine. It is easy to make a plan, but not easy to follow it. Try to stay focused on your study plan and follow it strictly.

Practice more and more: Practice with sample question papers and mock tests whenever you get time. Once you finish a topic, go for practice question-answers. Allot time for everything in your schedule. You will get bored if you keep studying all the time. Exercise and practice with sample papers is a good thing to refresh your mind.
