I want to preparation for ssc cgl

Papeya Dubey Student Expert 11th Jul, 2020

Hello,

SSC CGL consists of four level, the first two are conducted in online mode with mcq format, third level is descriptive test, fourth level is skill test of data entry and computer proficiency test. Interview doesn't feature anymore in this exam.

Now, coming to preparation part we can see that a large portion of syllabus is attributed to Maths and English, the reason being it's not only in Tier I but in Tier II as well both consists of 200 marks.

First step towrds preparation of any exam is being acquainted with its syllabus, so you can download the syllabus from SSC website and take a print out, and keep in your study table. This will help you to understand what to read and what to skip.

Make a timetable, SSC happens over four tier level and with compeition increasing day by day, the level of question too have gone up in recent times. Everyone has a different study style, not everybody can stretch over a longer period of time, so you've to decide accordingly, take breaks in between study. For instance, you can practice the mock papers in the weekends after five days of study, this way you can evaluate your progress as well.

SSC often repeats question, so going through previous year paper is must.

There are free mock papers available at various competitive exam sites, which you can use them to practice, it'll help you know your strength and the areas you require to improve.

Test series are highly important, as this exam is in online mode, unless an aspirant has good time management and has fair idea of what to attempt and what to skip, this will become a difficult task to handle.
