Points to Focus at the Beginning of your SSC Exams Preparation

Study Plan

As you have just passed out from 12th, So you are more disciplined than any other candidate which gives you an edge in your preparation. As we all know that the syllabus of these exams is mostly based on class 10th. So it will not be a herculean task for 12th Pass candidates to prepare for these exams. You just need to be consistent in your preparation for qualifying for these exams. Most candidates start their preparation without having a proper study plan which leads to frustration and they could not continue their preparation due to not having proper tracking of their progress. So it is very important to have a proper study plan for preparation. We have discussed some important points for preparation further in this article. The candidate must remember these points while making a study plan.

Previous Year Questions (PYQ)

As Abraham Lincoln said, “If I only had an hour to chop a tree, I would spend the first 45 minutes sharpening my axe”. So before making a preparation strategy, a candidate must know about the exam and its pattern, and the best way to get this information is going through or solving the Previous Year’s Questions(PYQ)’ After getting through the PYQs you will get an idea about the most asked topics, based on which you can make your study plan more focused upon the most asked topics or you can focus upon the topics which have maximum weightage. As SSC repeats its questions very frequently, So going through PYQs will help you score better as well in exams.

Subjectwise Analysis

After completing the first step in your preparation strategy which is making a Study Plan, a candidate must do Subjectswise Analysis as well while preparing them. A candidate must have a list of topics including their weightage through which he/she can track his/her preparation progress. This Progress Check helps you get motivated and also gives you a proper insight into important areas which need to be focused on first for a better score. A candidate must give proper time to each subject

Note Making

While preparation a candidate must make their own notes, it will help him/her to memorize.

• Make notes of important formulae and concepts. 
• Make notes of New words and their meanings to build your vocabulary.
• Making notes of important current affairs and events while reading newspapers would help in revising current affairs.

Mock Tests

To check its progress a candidate must take a mock test at a regular interval. Taking Mock tests on a regular interval helps in two ways:
1. When you give mocks regularly and analyze them properly, it helps in finding out the weak areas or topics on which you need to focus most.
2. It also helps you in gaining confidence as you get used to giving the exam and also you can make your own strategy for attempting the exam based on the analysis of the mock tests.

Revision Strategy To Follow During Preparation

If a candidate is just focusing upon completing the syllabus, that is not going to help him/her because our mind can only be trained through consistent practice, and thorough revision, we can do it properly. So it is important to have a proper revision strategy for a candidate. For SC and Railways Exams a candidate must make a practice-driven preparation strategy or if enrolling in any online or offline batch, one must join which is practice-driven batches.

All The Best !!!
