How to Crack SSC Examinations- MTS 2016

The eligibility of the examination is matriculation and preparations should be done keeping in mind this fact.

The first and foremost priority is solving mathematics

Brush up the basic mathematics by going through the NCERT books for classes VIII to X. This will help you brush up and clear the basics of mathematics. It is important to go through because SSC normally judges the basic understanding of the candidates thus questions are innovative and new. Thus, being good at basics is the first and foremost criteria.

Then try to go through the previous year’s papers and make an idea out of it. For this SSC books available in the market for MTS examinations containing solved papers could be really useful. These books can be purchased online or you can also buy books online.

While you buy books online try also to look for SSC books that are dealing with topic wise preparations for MTS examinations, besides the SSC books with the solved papers.

Once done with the NCERT books. Go through the solved papers (mind it do not solve it) just have a serious look and try to make out the pattern and get an idea how the exam is and what sort of questions are asked.

Once you do this, you will get a fair idea of what is needed, i.e., in which type of questions you are feeling confident and in which you feel that you need more preparations. Start preparation using the topic specific SSC books that you have purchased with the topics that you have found yourself to be uncomfortable while reading the solved papers. Go slow, but be steady. Make a routine be focused, consistent.

It is also noteworthy to ensure that you write at least one essay a day on the topic of your choice for the first fortnight, then start choosing topics that are generally asked in SSC MTS examination paper 2. But this should be a regular practice.

Best of luck.

How To Crack SSC CGL (combined graduate level) Examinations 2017

SSC CGL is one of the most prestigious examinations conducted by the staff selection commission, every year.
The exam is basically a three tier examination (a) Prelims (b) Mains (c) Interview.
First of all it is most important to understand the syllabus of the SSC CGL and the pattern of examinations, the nature of questions asked to get an idea about the entire process. SSC books or rather SSC examination preparation books, SSC CGL solved papers etc which are available in market or one can also buy books online, can be of great help for this.
For the convenience I would like to sum up the entire syllabus in few lines.

Quantitative Aptitude or mathematics 

It mainly consists of Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry. 

English Language 

It is the most basic knowledge of English language that SSC evaluates. Key areas should be preparing for one-word substitution, idioms and phrases, synonyms and antonyms, fill in the blanks (sentence completion), sentence errors, reading comprehension, sentence rearrangement and jumbled-up sentences, etc.
There are several SSC books available in the market for guidance.

General Knowledge

This is a vast area of study, but going through the past question papers one can easily determine the pattern of SSC exams. This could help a lot. There are lot of SSC books which carry the solved question papers of previous years.

HOW TO PREPARE

Ideally, a student should start preparing by working on basic arithmetic, because it not only helps score in maths section  but sound arithmetic and algebra also helps to solve at least 50 % of the questions of reasoning.
Move slowly but systematically, it is also advisable to prepare a detailed plan and then execute it accordingly.
I repeat it is more and more important to fully understand (go through lot of SSC books, read syllabus) what is the pattern or what SSC asks in the examinations. It is only after understanding all aspects of what SSC seeks in a candidate that we can prepare a winning plan and strategy.
Read and write essays, check it regularly for mistakes. Reading also helps a lot in getting simple grammatical mistakes identified, it also helps in solving several sections of the English test.
It is also advisable to go through the NCERT books of class VI to X, this will help boost your basic understanding of all the subjects and issues.
