SBI Clerk | Preliminary Examination

SBI Clerk: full-length mock (100 questions)

A full-length SBI Clerk mock modelled on the Preliminary Examination: 100 original questions across English Language, Numerical Ability and Reasoning Ability, weighted towards moderate and hard, each with a worked solution.

Before you start

  • 100 questions in 60 minutes, split 30 in English Language, 35 in Numerical Ability and 35 in Reasoning Ability, with each section locked to its own clock — a full-length paper modelled on the Preliminary Examination.
  • Each section has its own timer; once a section’s time is over it locks and you cannot return to it, exactly as the real prelims is administered.
  • Each question carries one mark; one fourth of a mark is deducted for a wrong answer, and unanswered questions carry no penalty.
  • The difficulty is deliberately weighted towards moderate and hard (about 77 of 100) so the set stays useful on repeat attempts. Every question is original with a worked solution shown after you submit.
