Prepare for Each Section Differently

As we have discussed earlier, the SSC CHSL Tier 1 exam will consist of four sections namely: General Intelligence, English language, Quantitative Aptitude, and General Awareness.

For SSC CHSL Exam Prep: We suggest you treat, prepare and revise each section differently. Some tips for each section are given below:

1. General Intelligence

• Sharpen your logical skills for problems based on solving and thinking ability.
• Don’t get stuck on a single question and remember that each question weighs equal marks.
• Remember that all questions in this section are based on data. So, they must be solved using data, for which you need to think logically.

2. English Language

• Work on your vocabulary by reading newspapers and thesaurus. Make sure you learn at least one new word each day.
• Gain a proper understanding of at least basic grammar, especially for the questions from the ‘English Language and Comprehension section.

3. Quantitative Aptitude

• Revise the basics first and then go for in-depth knowledge.
• Solving problem-based questions takes time, so work on time management.
• Learn a few short-cut methods to improve your speed and accuracy.

4. General Awareness

• Make notes and read more newspapers
• Keep yourself updated with current affairs.

Make time for Mock-tests and Previous year’s papers

We cannot emphasize enough how significant it is to have a glance at previous years’ SSC CHSL exam papers and attempt new mock tests. The previous year’s papers will help you analyze the level of difficulty of each section. Furthermore, you will get an idea of how the question from a certain section might be asked in the SSC CHSL 2024 Tier 1 exam.

Talking about the mock tests, we recommend those as they will help you test your knowledge and whatever you have prepared till now. Also, the exam pattern and important topics are updated each year, so the latest mock tests will help you identify those as well.

Lastly, attempting the previous year’s SSC CHSL papers and mock tests will be great for your time management in exams. You must not spend too much time on a particular section or topic. For example, ideally, you must only spend 30 seconds on each question of the General Awareness Section of the SSC CHSL Tier 1 exam.

Revision is the Key to Success

While preparing for a highly competitive exam like SSC CHSL, the candidates should always have a plan to stay ahead of their competition. One of the time-tested methods is to follow a well-thought-out plan for revising the concepts learned. The key role of revision is to enable the candidates to recall the concepts amidst mental pressure in the exam hall in an instant.

There are many ways to revise a concept. However, all of them have one thing in common, each one of them is designed to help the candidates revise the concepts as many times as possible. Let us look at a scenario-based revision plan.

Suppose a candidate learned the basic theories and formulae of Trigonometry on the first day of preparation. After learning, it is necessary to go through them again and again either in the form of question practice or through constant revision. It is common knowledge that practicing questions help the candidates clear all doubts regarding a concept. But here we have provided a revision plan that will inculcate the concept in the minds of the candidates without memorizing.

Making Handwritten Notes and Maintaining a Mistake Book

In this age of the internet, all the resources are available at the disposal of almost every candidate. It becomes necessary to give the preparation a personal touch. Making notes for each subject in one’s own handwriting makes the preparation. It is easier to revise the self-prepared notes and cover the syllabus in relatively less time.

Similarly, while practicing questions and attempting mock tests, the candidates make mistakes and may also have to skip some of the questions. The candidates should maintain a record of these mistakes and learn from them so as to avoid committing the same mistakes again and enhance their scores in the tests and eventually in the actual exam.

The candidates should keep in mind that these are mere suggestions and that these can be adapted by the candidates according to their strengths and weaknesses. We hope this article helps the candidates craft their winning strategy and help them enhance their chances of getting selected.
