RBI Grade B Phase 1 Mock Test - 6

About RBI Grade B Phase 1 Mock Test 6

What this mock is and why it is a little harder

Mock Test 6 is a full-length practice paper for the RBI Grade B Officer (General) Phase 1 exam. It has the same four sections and the same length as the real paper. The level is moderate-to-hard, a little above actual RBI Grade B papers, so the real exam feels manageable on the day.

What each section covers in this mock

• General Awareness: static banking, economy and polity. This includes RBI history and organisation, monetary policy tools, banking laws, Basel norms, payment systems, public finance, the external sector, committees and schemes. There is no current affairs.
• English Language: reading comprehension on trust in banking and on water scarcity, plus cloze test, error detection, double fillers, phrase replacement, word swap, para jumbles and vocabulary.
• Quantitative Aptitude: data interpretation on employee data, branch deposits with CD and NPA ratios, and an accounts caselet. It also has quadratic equations, number series, quantity comparison, approximation and arithmetic word problems.
• Reasoning Ability: circular seating, floor-based and scheduling puzzles, syllogism, inequality, coding-decoding, input-output, data sufficiency and critical reasoning.

Key formulas to revise

• Compound interest amount, compounded annually at r% for n years: \(A = P\left(1 + \dfrac{r}{100}\right)^{n}\), and compound interest \(CI = A - P\)
• Percentage change: \(\dfrac{New - Old}{Old} \times 100\%\)
• Credit-deposit ratio: \(\dfrac{Advances}{Deposits} \times 100\%\)
• Alligation: \(\dfrac{\text{Quantity of cheaper item}}{\text{Quantity of dearer item}} = \dfrac{d - m}{m - c}\). Here c is the price of the cheaper item, d is the price of the dearer item and m is the mean price.
• Roots of \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\), where \(a \neq 0\): \(x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\)
• Probability, when all outcomes are equally likely: \(P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}\)

Who should take it and when

This mock suits RBI Grade B aspirants who have finished the syllabus once and want a tough, exam-like rehearsal. Take it in one sitting in a quiet place, ideally in the final stretch of preparation alongside previous year papers.
