Sangathit pre-test and bank written exams: prepare for the right format

By Loksewa Hack · Updated November 1, 2026 · 1 min read

Passing an MCQ pre-test and writing a strong subjective answer require different practice. Keep them separate in your study plan.

Start with the applicable syllabus

For the Level 4 pre-test, the source below sets out an objective scheme. For the main NRB Assistant and combined NBL/RBB/ADBL Level 4 papers, the sources set out subjective written questions. Check the specific recruitment notice, version and amendments.

Use practice for its intended purpose

Use short bilingual MCQs to identify conceptual gaps. For written papers, explain your reasoning, show calculations and organize an answer around the requested marks and command words. An answer outline is a study aid, not a guaranteed marking key.
