Q. What were your learnings from previous attempts and how did you improve in this attempt?

Ans: Following were my few learnings in the SSC CGL 2018 Attempt:

  • Keep a balanced focus on advanced Maths and arithmetic topics. I realized I had not practiced sufficient in advanced Maths topics which resulted in less score in SSC CGL 2018 Tier 2 Maths 
  • I need to increase my speed and accuracy in maths to attempt more questions and score better. 
  • Improve SSCCGL Tier 1 Scores

I have been working on the above two aspects of preparation. Hopefully, it will result inn better scores in upcoming SSC CGL 2020-21 Exam

    • Quant - 105
    • English - 185
  • Tier 3 : 61

Q. What were your preparation strategies?
Ans: 

Weak areas:

  • Need to devote more time to basics of Maths and understanding the topics
  • Improve the speed in Maths

Strong areas:

  • English

Overall Strategy

  • I adopted an Integrated strategy
  • I had attended offline coaching
  • After clearing SSC CGL 2018 Tier -1, I had enrolled for BYJU'S Exam Prep SSC CGL Tier -2 (Math + English) Course
  • I had prepared for both Tier-1 and Tier-2 collectively.

Preparation Strategies

  • I had put more focus of my strategy on Maths and English as they are part of Tier 2 as well
  • Started preparing for SSC CGL Tier-1 only 3 - 4 months before SSC CGL Tier-1
  • I always made sure not to devote full time to General Awareness as the subject is very vat and counts for only 50 marks
  • Relied majorly on Previous Years Papers and Mock test. BYJU'S Exam Prep Mock test and quizzes had been really helpful.
  • Revise English grammar rules by practicing questions.
  • For Tier - 2 English Paper, I practiced Voice and Narration a lot as 50 questions are asked from these 2 topics together. 
  • English Vocabulary, I prepared from previous years papers and learnt new words through root words.

Q. Which books were referred by you for SSC CGL preparation?
Ans: Honestly speaking, I didn't refer to many books

  • I majorly relied on online study notes
  • Followed book by Kiran Publication for Maths

Q. According to you, how important is the regular practice through mock tests/quizzes/previous years' papers to help in qualifying for the exam?
Ans: Regular Mock tests and quizzes are the key to success in SSC because only theory won't increase the speed and accuracy. We have to implement the short tricks to get used to them. Full length tests give us our preparation level and we can self analyze the areas where we have to work.

  • Mock Test practice the most important in last one month. This would help in increasing my speed. Especially for maths and reasoning section, mock tests are very important.

  • Practicing Previous years papers a lot these days as it would help me revise important questions and questions might as well repeat in this upcoming exams.
