Real test conditions

Before you launch the test

This is the computer-based test format, not a quiz page: one clock, a question palette, and no way back once a section closes. Read these first.

  • It runs in full screen. The test takes over the screen when it starts, the way the real computer-based test does.
  • Leaving it is counted. Switching away is recorded and warned about; the third time, the paper is submitted for you.
  • The clock runs for 60 minutes. Set aside that long, uninterrupted. It starts when you begin, keeps running if you close the tab, and submits the paper at zero.
  • 3 timed sections. Each section has its own limit, and a section you have finished cannot be returned to.

Practical tips for IBPS Clerk English, maths and reasoning

  • In wrong-number series, check differences first, then look for squares, cubes or multiplication patterns.
  • For a filling and an emptying pipe together, subtract the emptying rate from the filling rate.
  • Memorise alphabet positions from both ends so letter-position questions need no counting.
  • Read the whole cloze passage once before filling any blank.

FAQs about IBPS Clerk Prelims Mock Test - 01

What are the sections in IBPS Clerk prelims?
IBPS Clerk prelims has three sections: English Language, Numerical Ability and Reasoning Ability.
How do you find the difference between compound interest and simple interest for 2 years?
With annual compounding, the difference equals the principal multiplied by the square of the rate, divided by ten thousand when the rate is a percentage. It arises because compound interest also earns interest on the first year's interest.
How to find the wrong number in a number series?
Work out the differences between consecutive terms and look for a regular pattern such as squares, cubes or a fixed multiplier. The term that breaks this pattern is the wrong number.
Is there a free IBPS Clerk prelims mock test online?
Yes. IBPS Clerk Prelims Mock Test 01 is free on Aptitude360 and includes worked solutions for most questions.
