1.      Repetition of questions by SSC from the previous year tests conducted.

From the research conducted by going through the SSC previous year test papers, it is observed that SSC repeats its questions and in almost all the sections (Reasoning, Maths, English and General Awareness).  It is advisable to go through last 5-6 year question papers of SSC CGL, CHSL or any post that you are applying for the same.  While solving these question papers of previous year you will experience that there are 3-4 questions in each section are repeated every year.  It is therefore, advisable to solve Previous Year Papers before appearing in any of the exam of SSC. In General English Section, you will notice that the repeated questions are usually based on vocabulary such as One-Word Substitution, Idioms/phrases, Synonyms, Antonyms and also some parts of speech sections as Error finding, Correction of sentences etc. In Quantitative Aptitude section, questions are generally repeated on the topics like Mensuration, Trigonometry, Geometry and Algebra, etc.

2.      Make General Awareness section more scoring:

The aspirants who find it difficult to understand the method of learning History, Polity, Geography and other topics related to general awareness section.  It is better if they analyze the General Studies or GK section of previous years of SSC CGL, CHSL or whichever exam they are appearing.  It will give them the clarity as to what type of questions is repeated every year.   Such as the topics like, the first in India, Constitutional articles & amendments, commonly used chemicals, folk dances of India etc.  Analyzing the pattern of asking the questions will enhance your score in the forthcoming exams.

3. Intense practice and understand the basics of Quantitative Aptitude is a must

Quantitative Aptitude section is taken as the most difficult section by the aspirants for it being time consuming.  Topics like Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Mensuration and Trigonometry needs special tricks and shortcuts to solve them quickly and accurately.  For those who believe that it is impossible to score good marks without using Tricks and Shortcuts, should understand the fact that basic concepts should be learned effectively rather than relying on the tricks or shortcuts.

Always remember that short tricks can backfire or ditch you anytime if basics are not clear.

4.      Importance of Current Affairs for SSC Exam

The key subjects for General Awareness Section of SSC Exam are History, Polity, Geography, Science and Economics , and generally the questions are exclusively asked from these subjects. Nevertheless, most of the students think that Current Affairs are a waste of time and ignore the same. There are about 5-6 questions related to current affairs in this section.  These are related to the major events of last 6 months approximately and one can easily score 5-6 marks if one keeps oneself abreast with the latest news headlines from time to time.

I have made an effort to make the students aware of the tips to be followed while preparing  for SSC Exam .  Hope it will help those who are afraid of or ignore the subjects which can give them marks  and can take them to the ROAD OF SUCCESS!!!!

All the best!!!!!
