View official pattern sourceScoring note: This test draws from SBI PO's own Reasoning Ability sectional bank, since pure logical-reasoning content is not tied to one exam's specific syllabus the way Quantitative Aptitude, English, or General Awareness are. All six exams in this Banking Prelims cluster share an identical Reasoning spec (+1/-0.25, 20 minutes); marks and timing here match this exam's own official Prelims pattern exactly.

Drill Reasoning Ability beyond IBPS Clerk
30 of the 30 questions here are pure reasoning, and reasoning is the one part of a paper that is not exam-specific: a seating puzzle does not change because it appears in a bank paper rather than a railway one. Our Logical Reasoning section pools 750 such questions from across every exam on this site and sorts them two ways: by difficulty, so you can find your level, and by topic, so you can drill the family that costs you time.
It is practice, not simulation: there is no negative marking there, so a score in that section is not comparable with your score here. Use it to build the skill, and come back to this test to rehearse the exam.
