SRCC GBO study plan

SRCC GBO · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Quantitative Aptitude & English Comprehension and Verbal Ability

  • Diagnose baseline by taking one full-length timed mock and logging section-wise accuracy and time spent per question

  • Build a personal arithmetic formula sheet covering percentages, ratios, averages, profit-loss and simple/compound interest, then solve 40 mixed arithmetic questions

  • Re-read one editorial-style passage daily and mark every unfamiliar word with its contextual meaning

  • Solve 30 sentence-completion and synonym-antonym items, recording each error with the reason it was wrong

Your checkpoint

A one-page diagnostic scorecard listing section-wise accuracy, average time per question, and the five weakest sub-topics with the error log attached

Week 2

Quantitative Aptitude

  • Master time-speed-distance and time-and-work by solving 50 questions under a 60-second-per-question cap

  • Practice percentage-to-fraction and fraction-to-percentage conversions until 30 conversions are completed in under 5 minutes

  • Solve 25 data-sufficiency style arithmetic questions and note where a second condition was wrongly assumed unnecessary

  • Review every wrong answer from Week 1 and re-solve it without looking at the solution

Your checkpoint

A timed 30-question arithmetic sectional test scored at 75% or above, with a corrected error log

Week 3

Quantitative Aptitude & Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation

  • Solve 40 questions on mensuration and geometry, memorising perimeter, area and volume formulas for standard 2D and 3D shapes

  • Complete 30 permutation, combination and probability questions, distinguishing arrangement from selection in each

  • Work through 20 number-series and coding-decoding sets to build pattern-recognition speed

  • Set up a daily 10-minute mental-math drill on squares up to 30, cubes up to 15, and tables up to 20

Your checkpoint

A formula-and-shortcut reference sheet for geometry, permutations and probability, plus a 25-question sectional test scoring at least 70%

Week 4

Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation

  • Solve 60 questions across syllogisms, blood relations, direction sense and ordering-arrangement, drawing diagrams for each

  • Complete 10 data-interpretation sets (tables, bar graphs, pie charts, line graphs) with a strict 6-minute cap per set

  • Practise approximation and percentage-difference shortcuts so each DI calculation needs no long division

  • Analyse which DI set type consumes the most time and build a set-skipping strategy

Your checkpoint

Ten solved DI sets with timing recorded per set, plus a written note on which set types to attempt first in the exam

Week 5

English Comprehension and Verbal Ability & General Awareness and Business Awareness

  • Read two long passages daily and answer 5 questions per passage, practising main-idea, inference and tone identification

  • Complete 40 para-jumble and odd-sentence-out items using connector and transition-word cues

  • Revise grammar rules for subject-verb agreement, modifiers, parallelism and prepositions, then apply them to 50 error-spotting items

  • Build a 100-word current-affairs glossary from the past three months of business and economy news

Your checkpoint

A reading-comprehension and verbal-ability sectional test scoring at least 70%, with a grammar-rule cheat sheet and the current-affairs glossary

Week 6

General Awareness and Business Awareness

  • Compile and memorise key facts on Indian banking, RBI functions, monetary policy tools and recent budget highlights

  • List 30 important business houses, their founders, sectors and headquarters, and self-test on them

  • Revise static general awareness: important days, awards, capitals, currencies and major international organisations

  • Take 5 daily 20-question general-awareness quizzes and log every miss into a single revision sheet

Your checkpoint

A consolidated 4-page general and business awareness revision sheet, validated by scoring 70% or above on a 50-question mixed quiz

Week 7

Quantitative Aptitude & Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation

  • Take two full-length timed mocks and compare section-wise scores against the Week 1 diagnostic

  • Re-solve every incorrect question from both mocks and classify errors as conceptual, careless or time-pressure

  • Drill the two weakest quantitative sub-topics with 40 targeted questions each

  • Practise a fixed question-selection order for the reasoning and DI section across three timed 30-minute sprints

Your checkpoint

A mock-analysis report showing at least a 15-percentage-point accuracy gain over the Week 1 baseline, with an error-cause breakdown

Week 8

English Comprehension and Verbal Ability & Quantitative Aptitude & Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation & General Awareness and Business Awareness

  • Take three full-length mocks under exact exam timing and review each within 24 hours

  • Revise only the consolidated error logs, formula sheets and awareness sheet, adding no new material

  • Rehearse a time-allocation plan per section and lock in which question types to skip immediately

  • Confirm exam-day logistics and practise two 10-minute relaxation routines to manage pressure

Your checkpoint

Three completed mock scores at or above the Week 7 level with a final one-page exam-day strategy sheet covering time allocation, attempt order and skip rules

Milestones

Week 2: Arithmetic sectional accuracy reaches 75% with average time per question at or below 60 seconds

Week 4: Reasoning and DI sectional score reaches 70%, and each 5-question DI set is completed within 6 minutes

Week 6: Verbal and general/business awareness quizzes both score 70% or above

Week 7: Full-mock accuracy improves by at least 15 percentage points over the Week 1 diagnostic

Week 8: Three final mocks are completed at or above the Week 7 score with a written exam-day strategy in place
