IBPS RRB PO Preparation Tips for the English Language

• Candidates often neglect the English Language section, resulting in lower scores.

• Treat this section with the same importance as Reasoning and Quantitative Aptitude. Focus on comprehension and grammar, covering areas such as spelling, grammar rules, idioms, phrases, and passages.

• Daily newspaper reading not only improves English skills but also aids in general awareness. Practice previous years’ papers extensively to understand question formats and increase exam scores.

• Key topics: Wrongly Spelled Words, Idioms/Phrases, One-word Substitution, Synonyms & Antonyms, Spotting Errors, Reading Comprehension, and Grammar.
