With limited time left, your focus should now shift to mock tests and smart revision strategies. To crack this exam efficiently, follow key last-minute tips that will help you stay calm and confident under pressure.
In this blog, we will be discussing some important last-minute tips that will help you during the RBI Assistant 2025 exam. Here when we say ‘preparation tips’, this is not going to how should prepare for a specific section. Last-minute preparation tips mean how to get the most from the minimum time. What should you do and what should be avoided, and how you can get rid of the pre-exam anxiety. We have discussed it all in this blog.
RBI Assistant Prelims Exam Pattern:
Before looking at those points, let us have a quick look at the exam pattern, which is quite straightforward.
| Test Name | Total Questions | Total Marks | Time Duration |
| Reasoning Ability | 35 | 35 | 20 min |
| Numerical Ability | 35 | 35 | 20 min |
| English Language | 30 | 30 | 20 min |
| Total | 100 | 100 | 60 min |
Give each section equal importance, as each section will contribute
Do not take New Topics:
With a few days left for the exam, the time that is left is not for learning new topics but for revising and getting the command over the covered ones. Rather than reading new topics, it is advised to give mocks as much as you can. Try to attempt RBI Assistant Mock tests on a daily basis and
Revision is the Key:
We are assuming that the entire syllabus must have been completed by now and all that is left is revision. Revision is essential because there is no point in reading or learning anything until and unless you have revised it at least three times. Focus on revision to get a command over your strong points. Make a short note for important formulas of Quantitative Aptitude or some short tricks for Reasoning or English. This will also help you to revise on the day of the exam.
Focus on Accuracy:
The examination has a negative marking of 0.25 marks which means for every wrong answer, 0.25 marks will be deducted. Keeping this in mind, try to answer only those for which you are very sure about otherwise, it is better to skip the question. Marking wrong answers will not only waste your precious time but also decrease your score by deducting marks from correctly answered ones. Do not mark just for the sake of increasing your number of attempted questions.
Make a Strategy for Attempting the Paper:
While attempting mock tests, make a strategy on how you are going to attempt the entire paper. While everyone makes their own strategy, it is advised to attempt your strong section/questions first and then gradually try to solve the rest of the sections/questions. This will boost your confidence and will help in increasing your score. Don’t spend too much time on one question. Try to implicate your tested strategy in the real examination, do not change it at the last minute. Believe in yourself, and do not lose your patience while giving the exam.
Expect the Unexpected
Keep yourself open to the possibility that RBI may throw some surprises your way. However, you must be confident in your preparation and strategy and tackle the questions with the best approach.
Focus on your Health & Well-being
An active and fresh mind is the key to attempting more number of questions on the day of the exam. Usually, in the midst of exam preparation, many candidates often forget to take care of their health and well-being. Therefore, we urge you not to study too much on the days leading up to the RBI Assistant 2025 exam. Moreover, a minimum of eight hours of sleep is a must. An unclear and tired mind can have a bad effect on your RBI Assistant 2025 exam preparation.
Keep your Documents Ready:
You must have prepared religiously for the exam, so make sure to take all the documents required, so that you dont miss the chance to appear in the examination. Keep all your documents ready the night before the examination. Write it somewhere so that you don’t miss out on anything important. For your assistance, the following is the list of documents that are required at the examination hall.
- Admit card (call letter of RBI Assistant Prelims exam)
- Valid ID Proof
- Photocopy of Valid ID Proof
- 1 passport size photograph (preferably same as uploaded in the call letter)
- Personal transparent water bottle
- A ballpoint pen
