About This Resource
General English for Competitive Exams is a focused English preparation module covering all the high-weightage English topics tested in SBI PO, IBPS PO, SBI Clerk, IBPS Clerk, SSC CGL, CHSL, and other government exams. The English section consistently separates strong performers from average scorers in bank and government recruitment — this module is designed to make English your scoring section rather than a liability.
What’s Inside
- Reading Comprehension (RC): Strategies for high-speed comprehension, inference questions, vocabulary-in-context, tone & attitude questions — the backbone of the English section
- Grammar: Subject-verb agreement, tenses, prepositions, conjunctions, active-passive voice, direct-indirect speech — tested in error detection and sentence correction
- Vocabulary: Synonyms, antonyms, one-word substitutions, idioms & phrases, word usage — for fill-in-the-blanks and cloze tests
- Sentence Rearrangement (Para Jumbles): Strategies for ordering coherent paragraphs — a high-scoring area with structured approaches
- Cloze Test: Context-based vocabulary insertion — bank exam staple requiring both grammar and vocabulary
- Error Detection & Correction: Spotting grammatical errors in sentences — systematic approach using grammar rules
- Practice exercises with solutions for each topic
Exam Relevance
English Language carries 30 marks in SBI PO Prelims (30 questions, 20 minutes) and is a separate 40-mark section in Mains. Reading Comprehension alone typically accounts for 10–15 questions in Prelims and 15–20 in Mains. A structured approach to English — rather than relying on intuition — can increase your score by 5–10 marks, which often means the difference between clearing cut-offs and not.
