Coaching institutes gives professional guidance to its students from time to time regarding the latest exam pattern and syllabus. It is the soul of your examination preparation or else you will not be able to give exam comfortably.
2. Make class notes while taking lectures in the institute and revise them daily to learn the concepts. Notes are very helpful in learning General Studies topics more than the conceptual learning subjects like mathematics, English and Reasoning.
3. General studies also includes some questions on current affairs, therefore develop the habit of reading daily newspaper and note down important events of national and international level.
4. Prepare current affairs up to six months before the examination date as most of the questions are picked from the events of that duration.
5. In order to prepare for mathematics one should try hard to understand the basic concepts and practice lot of questions on each and every concepts learned so far. Take the help of various reputed educational You Tube Channels like (link of our site) in case you have not understood the concept easily.
6. Practice speed tests for complex calculation based topics like Simplification, Exponents, Rational Numbers, etc. Speed is the prime factor to score high in Quantitative Section especially but it should be practice diligently to maintain accuracy level also or else you will face negative marking. Negative marking sometimes takes the maximum crunch of your score, better be careful and focused while preparing for mathematics.
7. English language section should be prepared by going thoroughly through complete grammar portion and then solve the basic questions on them. Further take the previous year question papers and look at the level of English language required for the exam.
8. After analyzing the level of English language develop the habit of reading newspaper, novels and articles on daily basis. It will help you solve the comprehension part of the English Section which can only be solved if you understand the flow of language. Flow can only be mastered if you read the news in which you have keen interest and is useful from the examination point of view.
9. To develop comprehension skills you should read same news in Hindi as well as English medium. First read in Hindi and then the English medium one, it will help you learn new words with no professional help. In case one is not good in English language from school days then it is better to take the help of subject expert or join SSC CGL Coaching or elsewhere.
10. Revision is the only key to success; therefore revise rules of grammar every day to develop a command over the usage of the language.
11. Develop a list of new words to master vocabulary as it is asked every year. Refer previous year question papers and make the list of antonyms, synonyms, one word substitution idioms and phrases and learn them by heart. It will help you score well in English Languge Section.
