SSC MTS 2021: Topic-wise Strategy Quantitative Aptitude

Many students are not from Maths background and they feel very nervous about this topic. There is nothing impossible if you desire to learn. We will discuss the preparation strategy of a few important topics and strategy to master them.

Ratio & Proportion

This topic is very important because it is used as a base in other topics like Profit & Loss, Simple Interest & Compound Interest, Mixture & Allegation, Time work and Ages, Time, Speed & Distance, Percentage. If you are really good at handling ratio & proportion, it becomes very easy to handle these other topics which we have mentioned here.

You can take help of NCERT book of 10th and 12th to prepare this topic. Apart from this follow our notes and quizzes.

Geometry

Geometry is a vast topic as it many subtopics like the triangle, circle, ellipse, parabola etc. Don’t get panic because we just have to focus on those topics which are asked in SSC MTS exam. 1 or 2 questions are asked from triangles so focus on it. From other topics in geometry, questions are usually not asked in SSC MTS exam so once you are done with your syllabus and left with some time then read other topics from geometry.

Mensuration

For most of the students, this topic is very challenging. For this topic just practice questions that are asked in CPO, GD Constable, CGL & CHSL papers because there are chances of repetition of questions in your exam. You can practice from NCERT books and build up your basics.

DI 

One or two very easy questions are asked from this topic and you can easily master this topic. Solve Previous year questions and you will find how easy they are.

Profit & Loss

2 to 3 questions are asked from this topic and they are mostly formula based. You just need to learn formulas and their applications.

Next problem is how to practice maximum questions and overcome exam fear?

Here is the answer:

  • We have uploaded the list of Mini Mocks to help you prepare for quantitative aptitude and reasoning ability. Solve the topic-wise quizzes and then practice previous year questions of SSC MTS exam just to check if you are able to solve questions on that topic or not. If yes then there are fair chances that you will solve questions of that topic in your real exam also but if no then polish your weak topic and try to solve questions.

    Quant Quizzes on different topics

  • Do not forget to solve previous year SSC MTS papers because many students work really hard for SSC MTS exam but they don’t practice & end up losing a chance to get a government job. Practising more and more questions is very important in SSC MTS exam because you have to solve 100 questions in 90 minutes. You should know how to manage your time for each section.

SSC MTS 2021: Tips for Reasoning 

  • Sometimes students make a mistake by investing a lot of time in a particular section because they think they are very good at this topic & hence they do not solve questions of this topic but trust me, this is the biggest mistake. Do not get emotionally attached to any particular topic.
  • We all know our weaknesses and strengths in a subject. If you feel nervous or get afraid of a particular topic then just leave the question and attempt it only when you are left with time after solving all four sections.
  • Sometimes when we open the exam paper and start reading questions, we find that most of the questions are tough as we don’t know their answers and get panic. Don’t get panic and screw your exam. In this type of situation just skip that section and move to another section. In this scenario, Normalization will help you clear the exam.
  • You will overcome all the above problems discussed only when you practice maximum questions. If possible, try to solve a paper in 85 minutes only because it will give you an idea of your strengths and weaknesses and how to invest time in each section.
  • After solving a practice paper, it is very important to analyze your exam. Discuss your queries with your friends or with us. Just take a snapshot of that question and post it on Gradeup. We will try to answer your queries as soon as possible.
