    Maths with only DIs was a bit surprise however questions were easy.
    GA was simple but some questions were tricky like there was a question which says What is the new name given to NREGA?...obviously correct answer would be Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act however in options Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment Guarantee Act was given which is not correct.I think none of these goes as the right answer for this question.Other questions that I remember are:
    1.Who won the Women's Hockey World cup held in xxxx?
    2.The country recently in news beacause of its uranium enrichment programme?....Iran
    3.Full form of HTTP?Hyper Text Transfer Protocol
    4.Full form of HTML?Hpertext Markup language
    5.A device connected to computers which works as a mini digital camera for transferring images/videos through internet is called....?Web Cam

    hiii frds...i appeared 4 the SBI PO test....the level of the exam was very tough...DI section is quite easy but a lot of time taking process in calculations..the time management is very very difficult..where ever english is taken as a merit list soo...time is limited to qualify in every section..whwre is gk questions are lil tough..compared to computer and marketing..reasoning is some wat better,,,essays, letters and precis are of dead easy...any how the objective section is very difficult than previous papers..


  9. vishu said this on March 10, 2010:

    it was ridiculous
    so much lenghty calculations


  10. gaurav said this on March 9, 2010:

    My view on SBI Asso.PO Exam on 7 march 2010:
    Reasoning was good (75%),Quantitative (Maths)was even good (70%), GK(ga,computer,marketing)was best section (85%),english level was high (55%; as it involves highest risk of answer getting wrong).


  11. hemlata said this on March 9, 2010:

    in descriptive paper they asked to write a letter to a friend to tell about the trekking where u recently gone, a paragraph on saving trees, an essay on employment & indian economy and last was a paragraph.

    overall paper was easy.


  12. hemlata said this on March 9, 2010:

    The question paper was easy except the quant section. It was quite lenthy and tedius.

    english section was very easy and reasoning & ga was easy.

    it is very important how you choose and attempt the questions from every section so that u can fulfill minimum passing criteria.

    minimum 25 questions must be done from every section to clear the exam as paper was easy & competition will going be tough.

    still hoping for good.


  13. sda said this on March 9, 2010:

    Exam was quite good and I can say that this is an green signal and trial test for the main sbi which have 4000 vacancy.
    we get idea that how we have to prepare for the exam which going to on 18 april.
    1)) Reasoning is simple but the new which I found that It cover approx 10 question from the probability .
    2)) In D.I. the initial question were quite confusing .But one thing which I observe that if you start D.I. in the reverse section that is from last Qu. the di question are quite simple


  14. ARKS NIZAMABAD said this on March 9, 2010:

    Its not so difficult. But time taking. The DI section is well framed. Where as the computers and marketing questions are not so interesting. The descriptive paper is good except the General Essay topics. Those topics are not of thought provoking category. I think the cut off mark fro selection among General candidates will be around 120 to 130 in objective and 155 to 170 in overall exam (objective and descriptive)


  15. ARGHA said this on March 9, 2010:

    NOT BAD BUT NOT SATISFYING


  16. Pinks said this on March 9, 2010:

    Exam was easy but lengthy.Data interpretation was easy in comparison to Quants.Reasoning section was also easy..I think english level was high.I was not able to manage time
