Tips to follow to prepare for GA section

1.    Identify the question pattern 

SSC has a characteristic approach to put questions in the exam, especially the questions asked from the static GK. Attempt previous year question papers and understand the exam pattern.

2.    Cover all the topics of the syllabus 

The topics like History, Science, Geography, Indian polity and current affairs are asked more in number. Prepare them thoroughly and know the reasons of the events and topics you are learning to retain them for a longer duration. Read NCERT books to understand the topic and then revise them by taking question bank of any reputed publication.

3.    Practice Option elimination technique 

In case you have prepared General Awareness Section thoroughly you can easily recognize useless options and eliminate them initially. It will make the work easy for you but you have to read all the options carefully before deciding to eliminate the options.

4.    Prepare Current Affairs 

Develop the habit of reading newspaper daily to learn current affairs but if you have limited time then you can buy any current affairs magazine and learn from there. You can subscribe to GK based websites where GK Quizzes are released, follow them and update your knowledge.

5.    Practice Mock Tests and solved papers 

General Awareness does not need any practice but it helps in learning the topics effectively. Go through the solved papers of the previous year as most of the time questions are repeated from there itself.

Joining SSC COACHINGIN CHANDIGARH or elsewhere will also make lot of difference as they give you well-weaved study material to study. It is prepared by the experienced teachers who are well-versed with the latest exam pattern and syllabus.

Hope it works effectively for you.

All the best!!!!
