RBI Security Guard study plan

RBI Security Guard · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Numerical Ability & Reasoning

  • Build a one-page formula sheet covering percentages, ratio-proportion, average, and simple/compound interest, then solve 30 mixed drill sums from it without notes

  • Compute squares of 1-30, cubes of 1-15, and tables of 12-19 from memory in two timed 5-minute sprints

  • Practise 20 simplification and approximation questions using BODMAS and unit-digit tricks, logging every error by cause

  • Set up a daily 15-minute mental-maths routine for the next 8 weeks and record the baseline score of a 25-question speed test

Your checkpoint

A dated baseline sheet: 25-question numerical speed test score, time taken, and a categorised error list

Week 2

Numerical Ability & Reasoning

  • Solve 40 word problems on time-speed-distance and trains, drawing a diagram for each before calculating

  • Work through 30 questions on time and work, including pipes-and-cisterns, using the efficiency (LCM) method

  • Attempt 25 seating-arrangement puzzles (linear and circular) and write the fixed steps you used to crack each one

  • Review the week-1 error list and re-solve every missed question cold, without looking at the earlier solution

Your checkpoint

A 20-question mixed quiz on arithmetic word problems and seating arrangement, scored with timing noted

Week 3

Reasoning & Numerical Ability

  • Master syllogism using Venn diagrams: solve 30 questions and state the conclusion rule before checking options

  • Solve 25 blood-relation and direction-sense questions by sketching the family tree or path for each

  • Complete 30 data-interpretation sets (bar, pie, table) and practise reading only the needed values first

  • Time yourself on 20 number-series and coding-decoding questions and record accuracy against the clock

Your checkpoint

A reasoning log of 100 solved questions split by topic, with accuracy percentage per topic

Week 4

General Awareness & English Language

  • Compile a dated timeline of major Indian banking milestones, nationalisation phases, and RBI founding and functions, and recite it from memory

  • Learn 25 current-affairs items per week from one newspaper source, noting only exam-relevant facts in a running notebook

  • Revise core English grammar rules for articles, prepositions, subject-verb agreement, and tenses, and apply them to 40 error-spotting sentences

  • Solve 30 fill-in-the-blank and cloze-test items, marking why each rejected option is wrong

Your checkpoint

A half-length mock (General Awareness 25 questions plus English 25 questions) scored and reviewed question by question

Week 5

General Awareness & English Language

  • Memorise key static-GK clusters: currencies and capitals of 30 countries, important days, and Indian states with capitals

  • Build a personal current-affairs revision sheet covering the past 3 months and test recall with a 30-question self-quiz

  • Practise 30 reading-comprehension passages under a 6-minute cap each and identify the main idea before answering

  • Drill 40 synonym, antonym, and one-word-substitution items and add unfamiliar words to a vocabulary log

Your checkpoint

A 50-question General Awareness plus English sectional test, scored with a topic-wise accuracy table

Week 6

Numerical Ability & Reasoning

  • Solve 40 mensuration and geometry questions (area, perimeter, volume) with formula recall checked before each sum

  • Complete 30 simplification and approximation sets at exam pace, targeting under 40 seconds per question

  • Practise 25 alphanumeric-series and analogy questions and note the pattern type for each

  • Take one full-length Reasoning plus Numerical Ability sectional test and analyse every wrong answer by root cause

Your checkpoint

A sectional test report listing the top 5 weak sub-topics and a fix plan for each

Week 7

English Language & General Awareness

  • Write 4 short letters or paragraphs (formal complaint, application) and self-correct grammar, spelling, and structure against a checklist

  • Revise the entire current-affairs notebook and condense it into a 2-page final-revision sheet

  • Solve 40 sentence-rearrangement and para-jumble questions using connector and pronoun cues

  • Re-test all previously wrong General Awareness questions and confirm each is now answered correctly

Your checkpoint

A condensed 2-page current-affairs and static-GK revision sheet plus a corrected writing sample

Week 8

General Awareness & Reasoning & Numerical Ability & English Language

  • Take 3 full-length mocks under strict exam timing and record section-wise scores and time allocation

  • Review each mock within 24 hours and re-solve every incorrect and guessed question

  • Revisit the formula sheet, reasoning log, vocabulary log, and current-affairs sheet in three spaced passes

  • Simulate exam-day routine twice: fixed sleep, morning revision, and a no-notes 60-minute warm-up

Your checkpoint

A final mock-score trend chart across 3 mocks plus a one-page exam-day strategy note

Milestones

Week 2: Numerical accuracy of at least 70% on a 20-question arithmetic word-problem quiz within 25 minutes

Week 4: Half-length mock attempted in all four sections with at least 55% overall and no section left unattempted

Week 6: Sectional test accuracy of at least 65% in both Reasoning and Numerical Ability, with the top-5 weak areas identified

Week 8: Final full-length mock at or above 65% overall, with each section individually above 60% and time per section within the exam limit
