Hello

Preparation has to be two pronged: one for phase 1 and other one for phase 2. It is wise to approach the exam topic by topic rather than going book by book. Reading precise and staying up to the point is essential as the exam is objective. At the same time, it is also required to get the conceptual clarity (if not in depth, at least a basic clarity) as some questions did test the concept clarity. Moreover, English writing skills and interview requires a fair understanding of concepts. Books suggested and reference books given by RBI board are too big to cover. It is only by sticking to the syllabus that we can try conquering it to the best of our satisfaction. It is better to start the preparation with phase 2 and then move on to phase 1 with one or 1.5 months before the exam.

Now, a lot of us spend more time in searching for books and looking for strategies than actually reading those books or implementing those strategies. With just a couple of months in hand, stop scouring strategies and get on with serious studying. There is no single perfect strategy to succeed in such exams. All of us who had cleared the exam had our own strategy that suited us best . So have your own strategy and follow them. Set targets - both short term and long term and follow them.
Do not pile up books . Don't end up buying, and trying to finish every book that has been told to you for the exam by anyone you came across. One or two standard books per subject are enough.
When on the internet go through the FAQ section of the Reserve Bank of India website or Investopedia . These two sites are treasure trove of knowledge about whatever you need for RBI Grade B exam.
For phase I, don't try to master all sections or focus only on one. You just need to be good enough in each of them. Your target should be 50+ in GA, 10–15 in Quant, 15-20 in English, 25–30 in Reasoning.
