The new pattern means that in the Maths
section of SSC CGL Tier-1 Exam 2017, there will be 25 questions. Each question
would carry two marks and half a mark would be deducted if the answer marked is
erroneous. This changed pattern is important to be given heed to as while this
allows more marks to be scored for each correct marks, the penalty is also
doubled for wrong answers.

Let us see some of the important tips that
might help in preparation.
might help in preparation.
- Maths section in
SSC CGL has a lot of geometry questions. This part of the paper can be mastered
through increased practice sessions and also by going through the mostly asked
questions. If one masters this topic then the scores would soar even in the
Tier-2 paper as a big chunk of the paper is made out of geometry section in the
Tier-1 as well as Tier-2 papers. - Mensuration is
one topic that has held constant favor amongst the paper setters of SSC CGL.
This topic has appeared gracefully and yet in large numbers in all the recent
papers. Therefore, it is important that this topic be prepared well in advance
and also with great care as you’ll keep coming across during the various stages
of the paper. Also, this topic appears prominently in all the major competitive
papers and therefore, it is a major advantage if one masters this portion. - The candidates
who do not enough expertise in handling the trigonometry questions should make
sure to practice that section a lot more now. This section saw one of the
highest number of questions in 2016 Tier-1 paper and thus will hold excess
weightage in the preparation strategy for this year paper as well. This part
also includes the questions from heights and distances. - The topics with
arithmetic part of mathematics too hold a great level of reverence in the
Tier-1 paper. This portion includes some of the most important topics like
profit & loss, percentages, interests etc. These topics are interrelated
and can be mastered with careful preparation. Therefore it is important for the
candidates to make a schedule to prepare these sections. Percentages are the
most important part of arithmetic as all other sections are directly or
indirectly dependent on your knowledge of percentages. - Data
Interpretation section is the easiest to score and thus amongst the most
important part of the preparation for the maths section for SSC CGL Tier-1
2017. The questions in this section are basically based on your knowledge about
the other topics like percentages and ratios. This means that the candidates
can ace this part of the paper through their knowledge of the other parts like
arithmetic. As per 2016, this section made up for 20 % of the total maths
paper; that’s indeed a staggering proportion. - Some topics like
time, speed and distance usually have the similar patterned questions over the
years and thus it is easier for the candidates to prepare for them, just by
keeping a tab on the old papers and preparation material. These topics bring
the most predictable questions in the paper and thus there is no harm in trying
to make these topics strength during the preparation of the paper. - The questions
from number system can be increasingly tricky in the paper, if not practiced
properly. But at the same time, if this part is seen through with care then the
questions become very easy to understand and can be solved in less time. Try to
solve as many different patterns as possible and remember the important ones to
save the time wasted in trying to comprehend the trick during the final
examination.
Maths has always been about practice and the
skill depends largely on the level of attention that a person gives during the
preparation. The topics mentioned in the article are the most important ones
but there are other topics like algebra, average etc. that should be given
importance as well. This is because SSC CGL is in the improvisational phase and
therefore it is possible that the weightage of the questions might change as
well.

The trick to success here is to take as many
mocks as possible during preparation. This has become all the more significant
as the pattern is online and requires some effort in getting acquainted with,
particularly for the candidates of non-technical background.
