About the IBPS Clerk Prelims paper

Clerk prelims runs on the same three 20-minute clocks as PO, with noticeably simpler questions - more simplification and less data interpretation, more short arrangement and fewer long puzzles. The consequence is a high cut-off: this is a speed and accuracy test rather than a difficulty test.

This mock reproduces that structure question for question and minute for minute, with the same marking. Nothing is revealed while the paper runs; the score, the section-wise breakdown and a worked solution for every question all arrive together when you submit. It is free, there is no sign-up, and you can take it as often as you like - each attempt draws a fresh set of questions.

IBPS Clerk Prelims mock test - frequently asked questions

How is Clerk prelims different from PO prelims?

The structure is identical - 100 questions, three sections, 20 minutes each, 0.25 negative. The questions are easier and the cut-off is therefore higher, so the exam rewards clean, fast work rather than the ability to crack a hard puzzle.

What is a safe number of attempts in Clerk prelims?

Around 75-85 attempts with above 90 per cent accuracy is a strong prelims performance in a normal cycle. Because so many candidates clear the paper, every quarter mark surrendered to a careless guess moves you down the list.

Is the SBI Clerk pattern the same?

The prelims pattern is the same three sections at 20 minutes each. Section names and the mains stage differ between SBI and IBPS, so check the notification for the specific recruitment.

Which section should I be fastest in?

Numerical Ability, because roughly half of it is simplification and approximation that yields to practised mental arithmetic. Candidates who bank those in the first eight minutes have time left for the word problems, which is where the section is usually won or lost.
