We all know about the pattern of the Tier 1 exam as it includes 4 sections:
- Reasoning
- Mathematics
- English
- General Awareness
- The strategy for SSC is very different from Bank Entrances mainly because of the syllabus and importance of Mathematics & English in SSC Entrances.
- SSC Tier 1 & 2 Entrances have Mathematics & English as important sections and therefore maximum time allocation is given to these sections.
- The TIER 1 exam also has REASONING & GENERAL AWARENESS sections which are very important to get a good score in TIER 1.
- Remember guys, you can’t score even 100 marks in SSC Tier I with just English and Maths, so you must be prepared to attempt GS and ENGLISH also.
- The study plan for SSC is very different as we don’t want the students to go through every subject daily. We want him to focus on important topics which are repeatedly coming in the SSC Entrance.
EK ZAROORI SOOCHNA:
Agar aap SSC ke GS mein 50 mein se 50 ka target rakhte hai to aapne sooch ko thoda sa badlo!!!
Kyunki yeh IMPOSSIBLE hai…..
Target– 35-40 ka hona chahie…
(Yeh De-Motivation nai par AWARENESS hai.)
Just focus on TOPIC-WISE preparation for General Awareness not subject wise, matlab CIVICS ke important topic padho poori CIVICS mat padho. Same for other subject also.
Time Allocation to study for SSC- 8-10 hours daily
Karna hi padega warna… SSC toh har saal aata hai par kya aap log har saal dena chahoge ya Selection paana chahte ho..
Faisla aapka… Future aapka..
Par concern hamara…
Isliye follow this path & yaad rakhna yeh bhi AGNIपथ jitna hi mushkil hai ..…
Kuch important nuske!
- Focusing on Important topics.
- Revision is the Most Important.
- Test Yourself & Analysis.
- Guesstimate Not Work Always
- Time Management is the key to success.
Remember guys, to crack the CGL you have to focus on time management as only 60 minutes for 100 questions.
PROPER PLANNING + SHORTCUTS + PRACTICE –> CGL mein selection
Make a time map of which section you are going to solve 1st then 2nd 3rd 4th according to their time table. Emphasize more on a section you are more comfortable with and solve it first.
