While being hopeful of getting a good job in the banking sector and landing a good place of posting with a handsome package might be in your bucket list. Remember not everyone who takes the examination gets through it. So make yourself noticed and earn your dream job with your little efforts every day.

Aways know what you have to do and why you are doing. Keep your goal in front of your eyes 24*7 and put your best effort in achieving the same. Hard work always pays off. So do not stop preparing for the upcoming exams.

6. Keep changing your workplace:

Sometimes working at the same place may give you a feeling of boredom. To avoid such feelings, keep changing your workplace and sometimes close to nature. Make sure your workplace is lively and it does not make you sad.

7. Give yourself some 'Me' Time:

In this tough situation when we all have to be locked in our houses, try to give some time to yourself to refresh your mind, soul, and body. This will energize you and you will feel motivated to join back your preparation.

8. Pick up reading other than preparational books:

Try to develop a habit of reading books other than banks and other exam preparation. This is because stuffing your brains with complex equation and reports and number can be boring after some time. Reading books of your choice can be your stress buster. So try to read some interesting stuff as well.

Apart from the things mentioned above, you can also work on the points given below:

Learning Speed: Learning to learn things is the foremost skill we must have. No doubt, it accelerates growth, career progression, wealth, health and efficiency. To learn fast use chunking or breaking the information into small pieces and this can be retained by your short memory skills. To chunk the valuables, organize them into small modules, pieces, and work on undistributed learning at a time for no more than 30 minutes and then shift to long- term memory by recalling each short thing that you have grasped. Believe us this is the most interesting skill one can adopt to learn or achieve long objectives.

Speed up your reading: It is that skill where you can dramatically reduce the reading time that you spent on reading books, magazines, emails, etc. On average, a master can read 2,000 words per minute. Is not it great! Practice three main concepts of your reading pointing, jumping and chunking. Place your finger at a single line and start moving it slowly. Keep your eyes on your finger and then read. Likewise, try to jump your fingers to the last of the line keeping your eye on the words, and gradually move to the last line by learning the chunk of the information given in the passage. This way you will get to gather some useful information required.

Action Skills: Unless you apply this skill, the above two mentioned would be useless. Mark a deadlined in your calendar for the work to be completed. Planning and setting of goals help in increasing engagement with the learning of concepts. 

Students, we believe these tips will help you in gaining confidence and will motivate you to work even harder for your upcoming bank & insurance exams. Try to implement the points mentioned in your day to day life to achieve your small goals.
