IBP - Past Papers

A few days back Institute of Bankers Pakistan gave a new look to their website www.ibp.org.pk . The site gives a nice decent impression. But the sections are not much changed. We hope that they would introduce some new sections on their website. While going through the past papers (http://www.ibp.org.pk/previuos_exams.aspx), I noticed that the past papers available were only of 2010. So first of all, if you have the past papers then please share them with me !

During my experience of JAIBP exams I noticed that pattern of exams sometimes changes abruptly and there are sudden changes in the style of the papers. So this means that very much old papers might not help more in getting idea about the exams. Also, the papers available on the website of IBP do not contain the objective portion which is a very important section. Usually 40 to 50% of paper is objective which requires a thorough study in order to fully complete it. This gives an idea that we should get the idea of pattern from last two papers and should not go back further.

But....

"Picture abhi baki hai meray dost "

Much old papers might not help in pattern but they contain topics which are important from examiner's point of view. You can prepare a list of important topics by going through the old papers, especially when you have started late for you JAIBP preparation. I myself used the technique to solve the old papers to prepare for the exams. Some detail study two months before the exams and then solving papers one month before the exams. The topic which was discussed again and again, I read that thoroughly and even the short questions can give you some idea about the topics and helps in brainstorming your banking knowledge.

So start collecting those papers which are not available on the website of Institute of Bankers Pakistan anymore. It would help you in exams ultimately  !
