    I have sent you this reply as follows –

    Actually, I didn't made the plan right now for prep of descriptive test but today and tomorrow, Il tell you the plan for it.

    And for right now, my suggestions are –

    1. For Essay Writing

    Read daily The Hindu Editorial Section , banking & finance section of

    The Hindu, The Economic times Banking & Finance Section.. After reading, try to write the topic in your own words daily atleast one topic. Try to read about Insurance Sector, IRDA site and NICL.
    2. For Precise writing.
    You don't have to for anything extra.
    Topics which you have read above have to be written by you in your own words but in summarize way and less number of words.
    3. For letter writing
    I think this we are doing from our school times – both formal and informal.
    If any doubt in letter writing , just say me, il be there……

    a×ar×a/r=1728………….2
    a^3=1728
    a=12
    .

    a) 533.33% b) 444.44% c) 267.67% d) none of these
