Preparation Tips:
Quants:
Maths has always been my strong point and I knew that the right amount of practice will help me to score well in this section. I referred to the book named “7300+ SSC Mathematics By Rakesh Yadav” which proved very beneficial in my preparation.
I would advise everyone to clear their basic concepts and be well versed with all the formulas, tables, rules etc to solve the questions easily. Please give last 2-3 years papers as many times the questions are repeated.
Reasoning :
This is quite an easy section among the rest in SSC CGL exam. You can score well with some good amount of practice. Just try and solve different types of questions and you are good to go.
English:
I referred the book name “Plinth to Paramount by Neetu Singh”. It’s always good to follow one book and prepare yourself best from it. Never make a mistake to refer more than one or two books at a time as they will create more confusion instead of clearing your concepts.
You can also refer to Kiran’s English Book to practice previous years papers. To work on your vocab do read editorials from HINDU. It will not only improve your vocab & reading skills but also help you to prepare for your descriptive section in the best possible way.
GK/GA :
To be honest, I focussed more on the above three sections and prepared for GK/GA in the last 15 days. Never try to cover everything and anything. Try to focus on important sections like Polity, History, Geography etc. I referred NCERT book for Gk which was quite helpful. You can also refer to Lucent’s, General Knowledge Book.
Descriptive:
As already said that editorials play an important role in preparing this section. Read editorials from good newspapers like HINDU & TIMES OF INDIA. Generally, essays related to current topics are asked in the exam so keep yourself updated with them. You can also refer to the topic that comes in UPSC Exams for the same.
For letter writing, check the different types of formats and do practice them once. Also, try and analyse the writing style and the pattern to score well in this part.
