BoB Office Assistant study plan

BoB Office Assistant · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Reasoning Ability & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability

  • Diagnose baseline by taking one timed 30-question Reasoning set and one timed 30-question Quantitative set, logging accuracy and time per question type

  • Set up a spaced-repetition error log with columns for question type, mistake cause, and the corrected rule

  • Drill 15 puzzles on seating arrangement (linear and circular) using a fixed diagram-first method

  • Solve 20 simplification and approximation items using BODMAS and percentage-to-fraction shortcuts

  • Build a one-page table of squares to 30, cubes to 15, and fraction equivalents for 1/2 through 1/12

Your checkpoint

A written baseline scorecard showing section-wise accuracy and average time per question, plus a seeded error log with at least 40 entries

Week 2

Reasoning Ability & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability

  • Practice 20 syllogism sets with Venn diagrams, applying the possibility-case rules consistently

  • Complete 25 blood-relation and direction-sense questions using a drawing-first approach

  • Master ratio, proportion, and average problems by solving 40 mixed questions with unit checks

  • Learn percentage increase/decrease chains and apply them to 30 successive-change problems

  • Review every week-1 error and re-solve each one without notes

Your checkpoint

A completed 60-question mixed Reasoning and Arithmetic practice set with an accuracy report and a list of recurring error patterns

Week 3

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & Reasoning Ability

  • Solve 40 time-and-work problems, including pipes-and-cisterns, using the efficiency (LCM) method

  • Solve 30 time-speed-distance problems covering trains, boats, and relative speed

  • Drill 25 coding-decoding and alphanumeric-series questions under a 30-second-per-question cap

  • Practice 20 inequality and order-ranking questions using a symbol-notation shortcut

  • Memorize and apply simple and compound interest formulas to 25 word problems

Your checkpoint

A timed 45-minute sectional test on Arithmetic and Reasoning with a score above your week-1 baseline and a written correction sheet

Week 4

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & Reasoning Ability

  • Solve 30 profit-and-loss and discount problems, including marked-price chains

  • Complete 25 data-interpretation sets (bar, line, pie, tabular) with calculator-free arithmetic

  • Practice 20 input-output and machine-based reasoning sequences

  • Drill 15 puzzles on floor-based and box-based arrangement

  • Consolidate all arithmetic formulas into a single revision sheet

Your checkpoint

A full-length 60-question mock covering Reasoning and Quantitative with a sectional time log and an error-cause breakdown

Week 5

English Language & General Awareness / Banking Awareness

  • Review grammar fundamentals: subject-verb agreement, tenses, articles, prepositions, and modifiers, then apply them in 50 error-spotting questions

  • Solve 40 fill-in-the-blank and cloze-test items by predicting the answer before reading the options

  • Build a vocabulary list of 150 words with synonyms, antonyms, and one usage sentence each

  • Read two editorials per day and extract main idea, tone, and three unfamiliar words

  • Learn 20 core banking terms (repo rate, CRR, SLR, NEFT, RTGS, KYC, CASA) with one-line definitions

Your checkpoint

A vocabulary notebook of 150 entries plus a 40-question English sectional test with an accuracy report

Week 6

English Language & General Awareness / Banking Awareness

  • Practice 25 reading-comprehension passages, answering main-idea and inference questions first

  • Solve 30 para-jumble and sentence-rearrangement sets by identifying opening and closing sentences

  • Drill 30 synonym, antonym, and idiom questions from the week-5 vocabulary list

  • Study the structure and functions of the RBI, SEBI, and IRDAI, and the roles of commercial banks

  • Review current affairs from the past three months and record 60 facts in dated bullet form

Your checkpoint

A 50-question English and General Awareness mock with a topic-wise accuracy table and a dated current-affairs digest

Week 7

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & English Language

  • Re-attempt the 50 highest-error questions from weeks 1-6 and confirm each is now correct

  • Complete two full 60-question mocks under strict timing, one on Quantitative and one on English

  • Speed-drill 100 simplification and 50 error-spotting items in 15-minute bursts

  • Practice 20 numerical-ability questions on number series and quadratic comparison

  • Refine the formula sheet and vocabulary list into final one-page cheat sheets

Your checkpoint

Two completed timed mocks with score progression charts against week 4 and week 6 results

Week 8

Reasoning Ability & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & English Language & General Awareness / Banking Awareness

  • Take three full-length mocks simulating the real exam order and time limits

  • Analyze each mock within 24 hours and fix the top three recurring errors before the next attempt

  • Rehearse section-order and skip strategy to protect accuracy in the final 10 minutes

  • Revise the formula sheet, vocabulary list, and current-affairs digest once each

  • Complete a final pass over the error log to confirm every flagged rule is recalled without notes

Your checkpoint

Three full-length mock scorecards with a final readiness summary showing target-section scores and a list of remaining weak areas

Milestones

Week 2: Baseline accuracy in Reasoning and Quantitative has improved by at least 10 percentage points, and the error log contains 80+ reviewed entries

Week 4: Score at least 55% on a full Reasoning plus Quantitative mock within the allotted time

Week 6: Score at least 60% on an English plus General Awareness mock, with vocabulary recall above 80% on a self-test of 50 words

Week 8: Score at least 65% overall on the final full-length mock with no section below 50% and all error-log items resolved
