A complete package to qualify SBOTS test:
English:
1) Grip over grammar
2) Dawn for essay like topic and IBP economic letter
3) GRE for vocab
Maths:
1) Word problems and simple arithmetic on finger tips (Like : work problems, age problems, tank problems, percentage, ratio n proportion, profit n loss, cost, margin, markup, averages, simple equations, under root, square root, series problems.)
I don't remember exact name of the book but I guess : Book by SM ANWAR OR SM Naseer green colored book. That book covers all these problems. Practice of this book is best way to score 100% in this test. Sorry I have not touched that book since 2005 that is why now forgot its proper name and writer. But most of our members might know its name SM Anwar????
Note: That is the time which causes failure in maths section not the knowledge.
Problems are not difficult but we run short of time while attempting. To overcome this weakness you need to have good practice of these problems.
GK:
1) Dawn
2) IBP weekly economic news letter from IBP website
3) Pakistan economic survey from Ministry of finance site
4) Current Budget figures
5) Annual report of SBP from SBP website
6) Current Economic indicators from SBP website.
7) Basic computer or IT related terms (Glossary) like RAM, ROM, CPU, Fuzzy Logic, ALU, CU, MIS, DBMS, etc
8) Basic Business / Banking terminology like KYC, AML, Basel, IOU, POS, PAYE, etc.
Paper is question-cum-answer book, be brief and to the point as you have defined space to write any thing.
Regards
