Some Tips that are Useful for the SSC Stenographer Exam 2020-21
English Section:
- The main part of the deciding factor of the SSC Stenographer exam is the English Section, so try to focus on it more.
- Now for the whole complete month try to solve 1 practice set on a daily basis.
- And check yourself where you stand in the present scenario of the exam
- If your score is not good then try to focus on the part that seems difficult to you.
- Write down the questions which you cannot solve in a notebook and try to cram and understand the concept of the question daily.
- This notebook will help you with your exam, as you know these are the question that you cannot solve and revise them.
- Try to complete your practice paper 10 minutes before the scheduled time, in this way your speed will increase and you will be able to handle the pressure which is useful during exam time.
- Don’t forget to revise the topics in which you are a master, make your strong part stronger so that on those topics no one can beat you.
- Try to cover topics that you have not learned but not at the cost of your strong part.
- Solve as many question papers as possible.
- Try to solve the previous years question paper as SSC repeats the questions.
- In the English portion try to focus on active-passive and Direct indirect as they stand for 20 marks, and If you know the rule you can score better in that part, even full marks in minimum time.
- Don’t try to cram maximum words on daily basis, as you cannot do it and it is not possible to do.
- Just make the habit that you will learn only 20 new words and 10 idiom phrases on daily basis.
General Awareness Section:
- For the GS portion try to solve as many objective questions as possible and where you get confused, clear your doubt from the book.
- Give some focus on static Gk ( dance, mountains, sports, temple, first and last person in the world and in India,)
Logical Reasoning Section:
- For the reasoning portion no need to worry just make a practice paper.
- Only practice can make a man perfect so for this whole month solve as many previous year or practice set as possible.
- You should cram at least 30 to 45 tables on your fingertips.
- Solve our quiz that we post on our application and website
- Read the newspaper at least for 20 minutes as it will help in the reading comprehension section and cloze test.
Guys, be prepared for the exam as there are not enough days for the exam. Don’t be careless or immature. A government job can change your whole life and social status so don’t take the exam in a light way.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrow.
All The Best !!!
