Phase 2: 45-Day “High-Intensity” Study Plan
This plan is designed to take you from concept building to exam-ready speed.
Weeks 1–2: Foundation & Speed Math
- Morning (2 hrs): Master Speed Maths (Squares, Cubes, Percentage fractions) and Simplification.
- Afternoon (2 hrs): Reasoning basics: Syllogism, Inequality, and Alphanumeric series.
- Evening (1.5 hrs): English Grammar (Tenses, Subject-Verb Agreement) + 30 mins reading.
- Daily Task: Solve at least 2 Prelims-level Puzzles and 2 DI sets.
Weeks 3–4: Core Topics & Sectional Tests

- Reasoning: Practice complex Seating Arrangements and Blood Relations.
- GA: Start reading daily current affairs; focus on RBI-related news and Monetary Policy.
- Assessment: Take one Sectional Test daily to identify weak areas.
Weeks 5–6: Full Mocks & Mains Integration
- Mock Tests: Take a full-length Prelims Mock every alternate day. Analysis is key—spend 2 hours analyzing every 1-hour mock.

- Mains Prep: Solve 1 high-level Puzzle and DI daily to prepare for the June Mains exam.
Phase 3: Pro-Tips for Toppers
- The “Mistake Notebook”: Record every question you get wrong in mocks. Review this notebook every Sunday.
- Accuracy First: In RBI exams, 100% accuracy in Reasoning and Quant is better than 100% attempts with errors.
- Sectional Timing: Practice within the 20-minute window. Don’t let one hard puzzle ruin your entire section.
- Don’t ignore LPT: Ensure you are comfortable reading and writing the local language of the region you applied for.
