Friends.. Here is the review of First Shift
8.00am SBI PO Prelims Exams shared by our follower Sharon from Kerala. We are
very thankful to him for sharing his experience in detail.
Hi friends I am Sharon from Kerala. Today
(June 20, 2015) attempted the SBI PO Prelims in first day first shift. For so
long I have been waiting to write an online exam. Even though I applied for SBI
Associate Clerk and IBPS PO last year due to some personal reasons I couldn't
write it. So it was my first online Exam and i was very excited and at the same
time tensed too. SBI has tested me even before my prelims by allotting me a
centre which was about 50-60 km away from my home and that too in the first shift
at 08.00AM. Left home morning 4'o clock thinking that i shouldn't miss an
online exam this time too. There were not that much traffic as I expected and
so reached the venue at around 7.00 AM. To be frank when I reached the venue,
the security was the only person available. Waited there for 15-20 minutes.
Slowly one by one SBI PO Aspirants started flowing to the venue. By around 7.45
the entry hall was almost full with our colleagues (SBI PO Aspirants) and their
parents. It was the parents who were more tensed than their children who were
waiting to enter the exam hall. Like always there were many of our so called
lazy aspirants who have not brought Print out of Hall Ticket/Photocopy of ID
Card/ID Card itself. Seems that some have come from the bed from last night's
sleep staright to the exam centre. The college authorities of my venue were
very helpful that they arranged printout/photocopy facility. I was very
disappointed that in my venue there were only boys and no girls :( Just for comic...Throw my story apart, let's come to the exam.
I know that's what u all have been waiting for.
My First Online Exam experience
Entered the exam hall ( a computer lab of
an engineering college) at around 8.10 AM on calling of my name by the
Invigilator. On entry the Invigilator first asked me to hand over the Call
Letter, Original ID and Photocopy of the same. Actually I had printed both the
pages of the call letter and they threw away the second page containing
instructions :D Then that madam asked me
to Sign and mark left thump impression in two separate papers that were
available with her. Then instructed to mark thumb impression in space provided
in the call letter also. Then she handed everything back along with a blank
paper for rough work and allotted a computer number and directed me to sit
against that system. Find my place and sat down. At that time a display was
available in the screen showing my name and Photograph. I don't exactly
remember the text in it. But something like SBI PO Prelims 2015.. Your Roll
Number is ... and Your Name .... In case of discrepancy in Name and Roll Number
shown, bring it to the notice of invigilator something. Then at the middle
showing my Roll Number and blank space to enter my password with a button in
green showing sign in. But at that stage even if we enter and sign in, it will
not get logged in, else show a error message. So don't login and wait for the
instructions. All this finished by around 8.30.
Then that madam asked all of us to write
Roll Number and Register Number in the photocopy of ID card and then to sign
it. Then she directed us to write Reg No, Roll No., Password in the blank
paper. First i thought why that is for. Then one guy sitting next to me told
that they will collect the admit card once exam starts. At 8.50 instructions
were given to login. There were special instructions that we should use only
mouse to enter the password by using virtual key board available in the screen
and not to use the keyboard during the entire exam. I logged in. Then as like
the agreements papers of Insurance companies there were two to three I agree
proceed buttons and screens. Actually that were instructions reagarding how to
write the online exam and I didn't bothered it and clicked tick and proceed
buttons where ever I seen that. One thing I noticed that was given in bold
"Don't use the Keyboard once the exam starts because that will lock the
exam." On seeing that i kept my keyboard aside. Because if i erroneously
press any key during some calculations or some thing, my first online exam
will, turn out to be a tragedy.
At last they shown a text link I Agree
proceed to exam. On clicking that a message was shown like this "Your exam
will start at 09.00". Then again waited for 5 minutes. These are the most
boring parts of these exams to be frank. Exact at 09.00AM a message was shown,
you can start your exam now. So clicked and
entered. It was a special moment, because you could hear around 40 mouse
clicks at same time. Then enetered the exam screen. Time was shown on the top
right. Three Sections English, Quantitative Aptitude and Reasoning will be
shown above. You can start any section as per your wish. If you want to skip a
questions click "Save for review and next". If you want to mark an
answer click on the option and then click "save and next". Questions
in each section will be numbered from 1 to 35 or 30. At the right side, your
current question will be shown in brown colour, answered questions will be
shown in "green" and questions marked for review will be shown in
"violet". So these are the sidelines in the exam. You might be
reading this article for a while, so getting you bored. Go refresh and come, I
will post my review on questions asked in the next part.
