After going through the above mentioned detailed syllabus of SSC
CGL 2019-20 Exam, the next step is to create a study plan and start working on
it. For instance, start your practice by solving some previous year question
papers and analyse your strong & weak points. Regular practice will help in
achieving accuracy and high score in the exam.
Let’s now look at the ways to ace and score high in all the four
sections of SSC CGL Tier-I Exam:
·
Regular Practice: Make a
habit practicing previous year paper and mock test every day to improve your
speed and accuracy. Solve previous year papers as there are many questions
which are repeated.
·
Build a Proper Study Plan: Follow
a proper strategy and a time table for all the sections of question paper.
·
Practice Important Topics: Students
can look into the chapter-wise analysis mentioned above and focus on the
important topics first.
·
Focus on your weak areas: First
try to focus on you weak areas and spend more time improving them. Devote more
time to your weak areas and less time to your strong areas.
·
Read the complete question first: Students
are required to avoid the mistake of reading incomplete questions and arriving
at incorrect answer eventually. Read the questions carefully and check what is
being asked.
·
Rule of Elimination: Use
method of elimination in confusing options and try to get answers by it.
·
Avoid any guess works: Guesswork
may lead you to wrong answers and will increase negative marking. Also, don’t
waste much time on one question and move onto the next if you are not sure
about the correct answer.
·
Time Management: Give
more time to sections that you are stronger in. This will ensure that you can
effectively use the time duration of the exam. Remember that there are no
sectional time limits and no sectional cut offs. So your job is to simply
maximize your score however you can.
·
Try different strategy and select the best: Try
different order of attempt patterns in your mock tests. Sometimes start with
English Comprehension section first or sometime with Quantitative Aptitude
section first or may be your toughest section first. See which strategy works
best for you.
Staff Selection Commission (SSC) releases the results in four
stages, i.e., after the completion of the each exam tier-wise. The candidates

SSC CGL 2019-20 Exam
Preparation Strategy
After going through the above mentioned detailed syllabus of SSC
CGL 2019-20 Exam, the next step is to create a study plan and start working on
it. For instance, start your practice by solving some previous year question
papers and analyse your strong & weak points. Regular practice will help in
achieving accuracy and high score in the exam.
Let’s now look at the ways to ace and score high in all the four
sections of SSC CGL Tier-I Exam:
·
Regular Practice: Make a
habit practicing previous year paper and mock test every day to improve your
speed and accuracy. Solve previous year papers as there are many questions
which are repeated.
·
Build a Proper Study Plan: Follow
a proper strategy and a time table for all the sections of question paper.
·
Practice Important Topics: Students
can look into the chapter-wise analysis mentioned above and focus on the
important topics first.
·
Focus on your weak areas: First
try to focus on you weak areas and spend more time improving them. Devote more
time to your weak areas and less time to your strong areas.
·
Read the complete question first: Students
are required to avoid the mistake of reading incomplete questions and arriving
at incorrect answer eventually. Read the questions carefully and check what is
being asked.
·
Rule of Elimination: Use
method of elimination in confusing options and try to get answers by it.
·
Avoid any guess works: Guesswork
may lead you to wrong answers and will increase negative marking. Also, don’t
waste much time on one question and move onto the next if you are not sure
about the correct answer.
·
Time Management: Give
more time to sections that you are stronger in. This will ensure that you can
effectively use the time duration of the exam. Remember that there are no
sectional time limits and no sectional cut offs. So your job is to simply
maximize your score however you can.
·
Try different strategy and select the best: Try
different order of attempt patterns in your mock tests. Sometimes start with
English Comprehension section first or sometime with Quantitative Aptitude
section first or may be your toughest section first. See which strategy works
best for you.
