Sample Question from 2011’s Paper

Instructions: Rearrange the following seven sentences (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) and (G) in the proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph; then answer the questions given below them.

1. To elaborate briefly on these characteristics and dimensions that the author is talking about —NRMs are general tests intended to be used to classify students by percentile for measuring either aptitude or proficiency for admissions into or placement within a programme.
2. Contrastingly, the CRM, such as a locally produced achievement test, measures absolute performance that is compared only with the learning objective, hence a perfect score is theoretically obtainable by all students who have a mastery of the pre- specified material, or conversely, all students may fail the test.
3. In most of these books, the authors classify a measurement strategy as either norm-referenced (NRM) or criterion-referenced (CRM).
4. Another author points out how the type of interpretation that an NRM offers is the relative performance of the students compared with that of all the others resulting in, ideally, a bell curve distribution.
5. Numerous books on constructing and using language tests have been written by various authors.
6. CRMs, on the other hand, are more specific achievement or diagnostic tests intended to be used for motivating students by measuring to what per cent they have achieved mastery of the taught or learned material.
7. One of the authors clearly delineates the differences of these two types by focusing on the categories of “test characteristics” and “logistical dimensions”.

Vocabulary

• Synonym, antonym questions are usually based on the comprehension passage. (except 2011’s paper) Hence it doesn’t pose as big challenge as ‘absolute’ vocabulary questions asked in SSC/CDS.
• But you must be clear about the usage of certain confusing words. Because they might indirectly come in thesentence correct / fill in the blanks. For example:

Prepositions

Often, the sentence correction / Fill in the blanks questions will test your understanding of prepositions. For example

WRONG	RIGHT

Phrasal verbs do not always follow the rules of preposition.Example

phrasal verb	right use	wrong use

come down with=become sick	My brother came down with typhoid last week.	My brother came down from typhoid last week.

So, mugup the list of common phrasal verbs + examples, from your grammar book / via internet.

Singular Plural related

This is another favorite area for sentence correction and fill in the blanks.

Similar rules are scattered in the topics of adjectives, pronouns, noun, subject-verb agreement etc. Hence you’ve to study the grammar rules.

Grammar rules

• From your grammar books, Study the grammar rules of noun, pronoun, adjective, adverb, verb, conjugation, articles, active-passive, direct-indirect, parallelism, embedded question, with examples for sentence correction.
• Finally solve maximum number of questions from old question papers for BankPO, CDS, SSC, LIC etc. If you come across any unique rule/case for sentence correction, note it in your diary for future reference.

Sample Q. Sentence correction from IBPS-2012
