i failed 49 on march 2026 attempt disappointed with result skipped june and now reappearing for sbl in september , what do you think i am lacking in my drafting i have also attempted sbl earlier in 2025 too but failed at 42 latest unsuccessful is 49 . i dont exactly know where i am lacking with being so close to a pass . Also sir has not solved recent past paper questions lately . it would be so benefical if sir solved live sbl recent kit questions . btw sir is beyond amazing at teaching sbl . i didnt learn from here as i thought live kit questions are outdated since paper structure of sbl changed in 2022
Sorry to hear about your result in SBL. Maddening to be just 1 Mark away.
My suggestions are :
1 Ensure that you address the question requirements very accurately. For example a question could ask you to:
Describe
Explain
Evaluate
Compare
Advise
Write a report to various parties
Criticise
Summarise
Calculate
Etc
Either alone or in various combinations such as explain and advise. The ‘and’ word can be treacherous as many candidates address only one part.
2 Ensure your answer addresses and uses the scenario. Questions are rarely theoretical and you are expected to focus on the organization in the scenario.
3 Try answering the question first using a common-sense approach. After that make use of models and frameworks to add legitimacy to your answer and, perhaps, help you to organise the data and derive an answer.
4 When comparing your answers or deaft answers to practise question answers critically appraise your answer with respect to the above points. Identify where you might have fallen short.
