Part-2 How to prepare English Language And Comprehension for SSC CGL 2017

• Another important part in SSC CGL is English Language and comprehension.
• This is one of the most important part in this exam after Maths .Because English play an important role in Both Tier 1 And Tier -2 -In tier 1 -its weightage is 50 Marks out of 100 and In Tier -2- 200 Marks out of 400 Marks .

According to me for SSC CGL first of all start reading a English newspaper daily .Because it not only improve your English but it also improve your General Knowledge. While reading a newspaper note down important words from paper in a notebook. After 1 or 2 months you will see change in your English.
• Try to learn Daily 10 to 15 words from any Book. Learning only will not help you because when you will learn new words after some time you will forget some words so when you memorize any word try to relate with any place ,person etc. Now come to next point that is one word substitution and idioms and phrases ,.These two topics are my most favorite area .because once you memorize these, you are securing 10-15 marks Guaranteed.

• If i speak frankly there is no book which can give guarantee about good score in this area .General awareness is a vast area.
• But one thing helps you that is science. Science is favorite area for SSC. Out of 50 questions almost 20 questions comes from science.
• So, to score good marks in General awareness you should thoroughly learn science.
• Every year they ask 5 to 6 questions from Economics also.

• This is most important area or you can say this is deciding area for you. This area decides your job chances.
• Mathematics play an important role whether you will get job or not. Because out of 600 marks 250 marks comes from this area.
• You will face Quantitative abilities in both stage .So if you want to succeed in this exam try to solve as much as questions from this area by understanding basic concepts. One more point, never try to use short tricks in early stage because it will not help you in Exam.
• First step should be try to understand concept of questions and try to solve Questions. Once you become master in all chapters and have a basic understanding about all basics and concepts now you can start using short tricks .
