While preparing for the IBPS AFO exam, candidates often make several common mistakes that can hinder their success. One major mistake is not understanding the exam pattern and syllabus thoroughly, leading to inefficient preparation. Many aspirants focus excessively on one subject while neglecting others, especially professional knowledge, which carries the highest weightage. Another common error is ignoring time management and failing to practice mock tests regularly, which can lead to poor speed and accuracy during the actual exam. Relying too much on rote memorization instead of conceptual clarity, especially in agriculture-related topics, can also be detrimental. Additionally, not analyzing previous years’ question papers to understand the types of questions asked is a missed opportunity. Candidates should also avoid procrastination and irregular study schedules, as consistency is key to effective preparation. Lastly, neglecting health and well-being, such as inadequate sleep and stress management, can reduce focus and retention capacity.
