SSC CGL Exam is for Group B government jobs in India. It is one of the best options for job Candidates who go for other major category of competitive tests such as Bank PO, Bank Clerk. It is reportedly the most wanted after test after IAS for govt jobs.Analysis:SSC CGL Tier 1 is the eradication level and Tier 2 is the concluding selection level. As the time gap between the two tests is usually two months, at the starting point, the student must plan and prepare for Tier 2 itself. Together, the Tier 1 and Tier 2 lack the skill sets on, Maths – Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, Arithmetic & Mensuration.

The Maths perception level needed is up to the level of Class X extending somewhat to Class IX. The complication level is high enough. Challenges as usual in this kind of tests are three,1. To solve a math problem that would imply to be difficult.2. To solve maths question fastly. 3. Time Management is a very important in SSC Exam. The successful student must have Ability to solve seemingly difficult math problems.Speed in solving, Accuracy in solving becuse ther is negative marking in each question.These three needs form three layers of abilities1. Concept layer: the basic concepts must be absolutely clear.2. Problem solving layer: strategies, techniques and systematic and extensive practice of solving using the strategies and techniques will build high power ability at this layer.3. Mental math layer: as no electronic calculator is allowed, mental math calculation at lightning speed is a must for getting a leading edge practically in all competitive tests. This speed can’t be attained overnight, but can surely be attained over a period of 3 to 4 months of well-formed rigorous drill. Some SSC coaching Institutes gives Fast short- tricks to solve maths question fastly, but all of depends on practice and hard work of students.

Some steps to follow by aspirants:Step 1.Start preparation from zero point in concept layer and proceed to improve your ability to solve problems step by step. Never start preparation randomly from a higher level concept layer. This is the crux of the whole problem, as high speed problem solving in competitive tests heavily relies on total control on the basic concepts, be it maths, reasoning or English. form a detailed time schedule and time allotment for every activity. Consult as you may wish to form this schedule. But form it. Don’t be apprehensive that this schedule is unchangeable. Like most things in life, you will go on fine-tuning this as you progress through stages.

Step 2.Select and use the best resources of problems, not solutions. You need high quality relevant problems. Ideally, the final difficulty level problem resource should be just a little more difficult than the problems in the target test.The problems should be divided into three levels:1. Most basic concept level2. Intermediate difficulty level3. Final difficulty level.If time is short, second level may be diluted. Step by step skill building is the best approach. I repeat, never skip steps in maths.Step 3.Start and continue mental math skill building drill with measurement of speed and accuracy built in. This step is essential.Step 4.Solve each problem yourself without referring to the solution. In fact it is strongly recommended that "Never Refer to How a problem is Solved." See the answer only. If it is wrong, try to solve it again yourself. If you are finally in doubt, take doubt clearing sessions from an expert. There is no better way to improve your skill than by doing and actual solving yourself. The more help you take in solving a problem, the slower will be your problem solving skill build rate. SSC Coaching Classes help student to increase skill build rate.Step 5.Once you solve a problem, try to solve it in a quicker method. Make it a habit to solve a good problem in many ways. Awareness of many ways to solve a problem will give you an idea of the best and quickest way to the solution.Step 6.After completing the preparation enter into the stage rehearsal test phase. This is commonly known as Mock test stage. Select and acquire the best Practice set. Usually it will come at a price. If you don’t know the best, get all and evaluate. Practicing on the best practice set is vital.You have to decide beforehand how many mock tests you will do. Assuming a rough guideline of 2 tests in 3 days, you have to get fully prepared say 1 month before the final test if you do roughly 20 Mock tests before the finals.After doing each mock test you must analyze your weak points, improve upon those and then take the next one.The day before the final test, depending on your mental makeup, you may, take the evening completely off and go to bed early to keep your mind fresh in the morning, or scan through important problems that you have solved yourself, and still go to bed early. "Best of luck of all SSC candidates"
