How to Prepare for SSC CGL 2017 – Study Plan, Recommended Books, Free Mock Tests

Hello and welcome to exampundit. The most awaited
notification of SSC CGLE 2017 has arrived. The exams of Tier 1 have been
scheduled in the month of August 2017
tentatively. For some, it’s the very
first attempt – a completely new experience and for some, it’s just one more
attempt out of those past “nth” attempts.
Here is a post discussing all the frequently
asked information regarding the exam.

1. Coding
2. Number puzzles
3. Direction test
4. Analogy
5. Figure series completion
6. Comparison of ranks and quantity
7. Statement conclusion
8. Syllogism
9. Choose the odd one out
10. Embedded figures, etc

• Make sure you practice the previous year
  questions.
• Solve the questions only relevant to SSC genre
  instead of overhyping with lengthy puzzles and other sums.
• The syllogism in SSC is quite different from
  the regular banking ones. Try solving some old syllogism of SSC and you will
  get an idea.
• Try to increase you speed in number puzzles by
  practicing an ample number of questions and in the exam hall, if you get stuck
  in any such puzzle do not ever take it on your ego and dare to waste time on
  finding the answer.
• Many times, SSC sets ambiguous questions in
  this section. If you feel it’s such a question-safety tip is just to skip it,
  else bravo you risked 2.5 marks ( question’s mark=2 and negative marking-0.5)
  and you will lament over when SSC releases the key.

• Do not overburden yourself
  with extra information as it will result in mere tension and nothing else.
• There is no need of
  collecting various GK books from different sites. Just pay your focus on the
  one GK book you have as many of the GK books have same repetitive content.Your
  score will fetch you the job and not the number of files you have collected.
• In the initial stage of
  preparation avoid one-liners or random PDFs with headings –CRACK/ BLOW/ SMASH /
  KILL (many other fascinating words) CGLE in N number of days. Because random
  information on random topics will not let the piece of information get
  imprinted in your mind. Rather you can at first have a chapter wise go-through
  of the GK book and NCERT which will hardly take 
  20 days and then you can go for those fascinating PDFs or Quizzes of
  Exampundit and any other sources that you prefer. But many differ from this
  statement and prefer the direct reading of quizzes and PDFS. Well, it’s your
  wish which way you chose, because in the end if you fetch good marks, we will
  be the happiest and proud.

1. The chronological order of
   historical events.
2. Clear knowledge of the map of
   India and its neighboring countries ( which state and country share boundaries)
3. Recent government schemes
4. Census
5. Budget
6. Economic Survey of India
7. Important obituaries and awards
8. Popular books
9. Sports persons and awards.
10. Dams, Parks, superlatives,
    Dances, crops, and climate  of India
11. Famous political figures.

• Arithmetic
• Algebra
• Mensuration
• Trigonometry
• Geometry
• Data interpretation
• Calendar  and clock problems

• Avoid mugging up tricks of
  each and every chapter until and unless you have been using it for a pretty
  amount of time and are comfortable to use it in any form.
• Do not overhype with the clarity
  of concepts. If some particular previous year question does not fit into your
  understanding, just learn the way how it is solved.
• In above points. We asked you
  not to mug up tricks but in very very special conditions, there are a few
  tricky algebraic questions which are repeated every year and it is highly
  recommendable for you to learn the shortest trick as given in the solutions.
  Because who knows, maybe the question gets repeated in you shift without even
  any alterations. Also, make sure you are able to apply the trick in different
  possible cases of the same question.

• Vocabulary, Idioms and
  phrases, One-word substitution
• Comprehension
• Transformation of speech and
  voice
• Basic Grammar rules

1. Skipping a question which is not clicking your
   instincts will not fetch you out of the race but wasting your time even a
   minute will surely drag you out to repent for another one year.
2. This time the duration of the exam has been reduced so we may expect a bit
   harder question. So make sure while solving sums and reading GK, you make yourself acquainted with a harder side of those topics.
3. Do not overhype, burden yourself and be a collector of all materials. Just make the best use of the resources you have.

In order to ace the examination, you need to practice a lot. We will be providing all quizzes, materials and PDF this year. Along with that we, recommend Mock Tests for SSC CGL 2017:
