SSC CHSL Exam Approach
SSC pattern usually remains quite similar every year. This Exam is considered to be quite easy but the high cut offs really makes it difficult to crack the exam. Here we have given below some points that you should remember while you start your preparation for the exam.
  • Candidates should make it clear that it is very important to have a clear concept of the basic topics in maths and english to crack this exam.
  • During the initial level of preparation it revising all the basic concepts is a must.
  • SSC does repeat its questions year after year so it is very vital for students to practise the previous years questions as much as possible. That would not only help one have a good idea about the exam but also measure its level of preparedness for the examination.
  • Questions like patterns and figures are common in the General Intelligence section. These should be practised well. They are very scoring and should not be missed at all.
  • For the English Section the passages and Parajumbles are good to score marks. But often the questions are twisted so a good practise is necessary.
  • Other questions like synonyms, antonyms, idioms and phrases, and one word substitution must be learnt properly as they are the easy topics to score good marks.
  • The General Awareness section has questions from History, science, polity and current affairs. Students can try learning Static GK much before the exam because a good attempt in this section can increase the overall marks. 
  • Making a proper schedule and maintaining it wisely can help balance all the subjects properly and provide great results.
