Hi,

The key thing to success is to understand and learn from your mistakes since there is no pint in crying over spilt milk. You have realised that you didn't do your part well and hence couldn't do well in your exams. Now what you have to do is focus and concentrate and study for the next exams with full dedication. Do not get demotivated. Do not underestimate yourself and loose confidence. Take it as a challenge and make sure that you work well and come out successful.

To be able to study well you need to have good concentration. I understand it becomes really difficult to concentrate on your studies, specially during this time.

Below I will share some tips that will help you to concentrate better:

• Find a time which is best suitable for you to study. Some find it better to concentrate in the morning while others find they can do better in the night.

• Decide what portions you would like to finish in that particular day

• Prepare a timetable according to the above, keeping slots for breaks

• Start studying with your favorite subject, so that you don’t get bored from the beginning itself

• Take breaks when you get bored, and try to avoid studying at a stretch for a longer duration.

• Always keep some time apart for your hobbies, exercise, etc.

• Eat healthy food, sleep well and also socialise. A healthy mind is the most important for good concentration

• Do some mind games like Sudoku, Crossword puzzles, Chess, etc

• Also try meditation

Following these I am sure you will be able to improve your concentration

Good Luck

So the preparation should be according to these factors.Therefore, along with good preparation , there bit of a luck factor involved.

After that you need to take daily mock tests and past year papers to monitor your preparation. If you follow a disciplined study routine , you will not require more than 2-3 months to overcome your difficulties.  If a banking job is your dream, then there are several other exams coming up. You can prepare and clear them easily. Else ,if IBPS Clerk is your only aim , then  start preparing from now  you can definitely clear it next time.

Hi.

YOU ARE NOT DUMB OR A FAILURE. Please I urge you not to think so low for yourself, everyone has their own pace of learning and not everyone can excel in something they have to do just because someone else dictated it. Since you already have an under-graduation degree i.e. B.Com (//B.Com) that is cool. Now you have LBPS Clerk Exam on 5th December and do not worry if you have faith in yourself, study hard till 3rd Dec, take a day off and confidently give your examination. There are these methods you can employ to aid your hard work:

• Figure out a systematic study plan.
• Have access to the best study material.
• Refer to best books for preparation .
• Solve mock tests , practise papers and previous year question papers .
• Stay updated with current affairs.
• Revise on a daily basis.

REMEMBER: Do not give up and focus on yourself.

I will also urge you to sit for Student and Career Counselling offered by NGOs which will help and guide you.

Have Faith in yourself

BEST OF LUCK!
