BANK PHB
I think the test is administered by Leading Edge Consult and it is basically a combination
test comprising about 70 questions on different test areas: Verbal, Synonyms, Antonyms,
Word analogies, Basic arithmetic, Shape comparisons, Mirror images of wall clocks &
other stuffs. There are no options in many of the questions. I think the time is 50mins or
1hr.I can’t remember exactly. Bank PHB test is very difficult. The good thing about it is
that cut off mark is as low as 30%.

FIRST BANK
There are 100 questions. The first part is a long comprehension with only 10 questions.
This part is time consuming, avoid starting on this part. People who started on the first
section didn’t finish up to 60 questions at the end of the test.
The second part is English (Verbal reasoning). It requires a bit of thinking, although it’s
fairly easy. Don’t start here as well.
The forth part is on Current Affairs, with a multiple answer style. This is easier and you
spend lesser time.
The fifth (final) part is on Critical reasoning. This is also very easy. It is a maximum of
60mins or 80mins. You will only use writing materials like pencil, cleaner and maybe a
pen. Calculators are usually not allowed and you will be provided a plain sheet to work
out your answers.
Their test format is in three parts. You have Verbal Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning and
Graphical Interpretation. All they need is your accuracy how u can think on the spot.
They are usually simple questions but the challenge is you have 24mins for 80 questions.
So you have to be fast in thinking.
