Personal Question Bank 2.0: Level-Up Revision for All Aspirants

Revision is not just about reading again — it’s about training your brain to retrieve, connect, and apply information under pressure. Whether you are preparing for CLAT, CUET, IPMAT, CAT, BBA entrances, or any competitive exam, a systematic question bank can dramatically accelerate your progress.

At Career Launcher South Extension Delhi, we encourage every student to build their own Personal Question Bank (PQB) — a dynamic learning tool that grows with your preparation. PQB 2.0 is the upgraded version: smarter, sharper, more structured, and designed to make you exam-ready with confidence.

This blog explains why Personal Question Bank 2.0 works, how to create it, and how to use it effectively for all entrance exams.

Why Personal Question Bank 2.0 Matters

Most students make a crucial mistake — they revise chapters but rarely revise questions. As a result, they read a topic five times but still fail to solve tricky MCQs quickly.
PQB 2.0 solves this problem by:

• Organizing important questions by concept
  
  
• Tracking weak areas intelligently
  
  
• Training recall through spaced repetition
  
  
• Improving exam temperament and accuracy
  
  
• Creating personalized mock-level practice
  
  

Every topper, knowingly or unknowingly, uses their own version of a PQB. This tool is the difference between random revision and strategic mastery.

What Exactly Is Personal Question Bank 2.0?

PQB 2.0 is not just a notebook full of questions. It is a living system that contains:

1. Your weak areas
   
   
2. Your easy-to-forget concepts
   
   
3. Your most useful questions
   
   
4. Your previous mistakes
   
   
5. Your self-created practice sets
   
   
6. Your tracking sheets for progress
   
   

It combines notes + practice + reflection + tracking in one structured format.

Benefits of Using PQB 2.0

Instead of revising full books, you revise a curated list of the most important questions.

Reattempting your own question bank builds deeper conceptual understanding.

Setting Up Your Personal Question Bank 2.0

You can create PQB 2.0 using:

✔ A notebook
✔ A digital tool like Google Sheets
✔ Notion / OneNote
✔ Excel

Digital versions allow easy search, tagging, and tracking, but notebooks offer handwriting-based recall. Choose whichever suits you.

Structure of PQB 2.0

Section A: Concept-Wise Must-Solve Questions

Create chapters like:

• Ratio & Proportion
  
  
• Environmental Treaties
  
  
• Law of Torts
  
  
• Critical Reasoning
  
  
• Vocabulary

Under each chapter, add 15–20 high-value questions.

A powerful component.

Each entry contains:

This forces your brain to learn from mistakes deeply.

Section C: 3-Level Difficulty Sorting

Divide questions into:

• Level 1 – Concept basics
  
  
• Level 2 – Application-based
  
  
• Level 3 – Exam-level tricky questions
  
  

This structure gives you a natural path of progression.

Section D: Timed Drills

Add sets like:

• “10 questions in 12 minutes”
  
  
• “5 Legal Reasoning passages in 25 minutes”

Timed practice trains exam temperament.

Section E: Weekly Review Page

Summarize:

• Improvements
  
  
• Topics still weak
  
  
• Average accuracy
  
  
• Average time per question

This gives you a dashboard-like view of your preparation.

Create small tests based on difficulty levels:

• Level 1 booster
  
  
• Level 2 drill
  
  
• Level 3 challenge
