About the SBI Clerk Assessment Test

The SBI Clerk Assessment Test on Aptitude360 is a free, medium-level practice test of 30 multiple-choice questions to be solved in 30 minutes, with +1 mark for a correct answer and −0.25 for a wrong answer. Each question has five options, and the test is in English. The marking follows the +1/−0.25 basis given in the SBI Junior Associate information handout, and the difficulty is set at a typical real-paper level.

Test pattern and marking

• English Language: 10 questions, 10 minutes, +1 for a correct answer, −0.25 for a wrong answer
• Numerical Ability: 10 questions, 10 minutes, +1 for a correct answer, −0.25 for a wrong answer
• Reasoning Ability: 10 questions, 10 minutes, +1 for a correct answer, −0.25 for a wrong answer

Each section has its own timer; the section times add up to 30 minutes.

Topics covered

English Language includes a reading comprehension set of four questions, followed by error spotting, a para jumble, word usage & swap and a cloze test with three blanks.

Numerical Ability covers simplification & approximation, surds & indices, a data interpretation set of three questions, number series, quadratic equations, profit, loss & discount, and simple & compound interest.

Reasoning Ability opens with a puzzle set of five questions, then covers inequality, syllogism, alphanumeric series, coding-decoding and blood relations.

Every question shows its question type in square brackets at the top, for example [Cloze Test], [Puzzle / Seating Arrangement], [Reading Comprehension] and [Data Interpretation], so you can see which part of the real exam pattern each question follows.

Key formulas to revise

• Simple interest: \( SI = \dfrac{P \times R \times T}{100} \)
• Amount, compounded annually: \( A = P\left(1 + \dfrac{R}{100}\right)^{T} \)
• Profit percentage: \( \dfrac{SP - CP}{CP} \times 100 \)
• Discount percentage: \( \dfrac{MP - SP}{MP} \times 100 \)
• Roots of a quadratic (where a is not zero): \( x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a} \)
• Law of indices: \( a^{m} \times a^{n} = a^{m+n} \)

Who should take this test

This test suits SBI Clerk aspirants who want a timed, section-wise check of their speed and accuracy at medium difficulty. Because each section is separately timed, it is useful for practising time management across English, quant and reasoning.
