What this deck covers

The Computer Knowledge deck follows the IBPS PO Computer Knowledge syllabus — 3 chapters and 7 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 16.7 cards per chapter.

Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 92 characters, which is long enough to carry the reasoning and short enough to say out loud.

A deck like this earns its keep on the second and third pass. Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then use the cards to find the specific facts that have not stuck.
