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.

About this test

IBPS Clerk Prelims Mock 09: Puzzles, Arithmetic and English Practice

Building speed on mixed banking-level questions is the main aim of IBPS Clerk Prelims Mock Test 09, a full-length paper on English Language, Numerical Ability and Reasoning Ability. The Aptitude360 paper includes a passage on farmers and crop risk, arithmetic on trains, discounts and partnerships, and a weekday seminar puzzle. Most questions include a short worked solution.

Topics covered in IBPS Clerk Prelims Mock Test 09

  • English Language: reading comprehension on crop losses and farm income, a cloze test on city air pollution, error spotting, phrase replacement, double fillers, para-jumbles on workplace stress
  • Numerical Ability: fraction simplification, approximation, wrong-number series, quadratic equations, a book-sales table, train and platform, cost price and discount, partnership, boats and streams, pipes and cisterns
  • Reasoning Ability: linear seating with colours, circular seating, weekday scheduling puzzle, inequalities, syllogisms, coding-decoding, alphanumeric series, ranking, direction and distance, letter pairs in a word

Concepts worth revising before this mock

  • Raising a price above cost and then giving a discount is a successive percentage change, not a simple difference
  • In a partnership, profit is shared in the ratio of capital multiplied by the months it was invested
  • An emptying pipe works against a filling pipe, so its rate is subtracted
  • Shortest distance in direction questions comes from Pythagoras on the net north-south and east-west movement
  • A train crossing a platform covers its own length plus the platform's length

How to prepare for these reasoning and quant question types

  • For day-based puzzles, list Monday to Sunday in a column and fill definite clues before conditional ones
  • For letter-pair questions, check each pair both forward and backward against the alphabet
  • Convert train speeds into metres per second early to avoid unit errors

Who this paper suits

Useful for IBPS Clerk aspirants in the mock-practice stage who want to test arithmetic accuracy and puzzle-solving together.
