Start with the questions you find the easiest to answer or the ones you are more familiar with and can respond to fast. My personal opinion is that one should prioritise English, then reasoning, and finally maths.

I think the best way to attempt questions in bank exam is to start with English, reasoning. and then quantitative aptitude.
Solve English and reasoning questions in less time to make more time for quantitative aptitude section because it takes more time.
Yes, one more thing, you should attempt the questions which you can get solved easily and quickly because it will save your time for other questions. it will also increase your confidence level. -
Attempt those questions first which you know better and can answer quickly or you can attempt the one you find easy first. According to me, one should go for English first, reasoning after it and maths in the last.
