Marking and unanswered questions

A wrong answer cost 0.25 of the one mark assigned to that question. An unanswered question carried no penalty.

A score of 150 correct and 30 wrong before equating is 142.5 raw marks, with 20 blanks. In your log, break those mistakes down by section. An improved aggregate can hide a persistent low score in computer skill or awareness.

Shortlisting and later requirements

The company reserved the right to set online section and overall cut-offs for interview shortlisting. Candidates who missed the interview or did not clear its qualifying mark were disqualified. Appointment was subject to medical fitness and background verification.

Turn the pattern into a timing plan

Use English-only practice with five tests of 40 questions. Check pacing across the whole paper and review the latest handout before applying any sectional timer.

Try two different starting orders on comparable practice papers. Keep the order that improves your net score without repeatedly leaving one test under-attempted. During review, distinguish a question you skipped deliberately from one you never reached.

Choose a representative simulation

An ordinary bank paper might give little space to housing finance or computer skill. When choosing practice, look for a housing finance question with an explanation of terms such as principal, interest and instalment, plus computer questions that cover familiar office tasks.

Equal marks do not require equal time

The five tests each contribute 40 marks. Use a practice baseline to discover which tests need more reading or calculation time. For example, if several questions in reasoning share one arrangement, first decide whether the setup justifies the time it will take.

Under the advertised marking rule, four incorrect responses cost one mark. Compare two practice orders using net marks as well as attempts. Keep a record of questions you rushed, questions you deliberately left and questions you never reached.

The advertisement does not specify a numeric interview maximum or weighting ratio. Combined merit uses online and interview marks, subject to the interview minimum. Treat the shortlist as permission to move to the next stage.
