SSC online, test series, are they useful?


SSC CGL 2018 is going to happen in next few months and same is the condition of other exams. And with this exams coming closer, also comes the flood of websites providing ssc online test papers or ssc online study materials.
The major question is whether these are useful or wastage of time and diversion.
There could be difference of opinion and exceptions too, that means while some people may find these websites useful and some sites are really good, but majority of these sites are made only for driving traffic and links, thus they end up wasting time of the students. Not only they waste time but they act as major diversions.
It is good to search for ssc online, but please check the extension of the website while searching online. If the extension (.gov.in, .nic ) or even if it is of some other type like .com or others, please try to ensure that it is either of any official website or of any other reputed website. Else there are more than 90% chances that it will do nothing but kill your time.
Moreover SSC is more about knowing in depth and practice. Practicing with pen and paper has a psychological impact and it lasts longer and leaves a deeper impression on our mind. In psychological terms, the retention of things that we read or write, most importantly write using our pen and pencil has more retention. Thus it is always better to find out about the syllabus, analyse it properly to identify your weaknesses and then work accordingly instead of looking for ssc online test books. These can be done but with caution and it is preferred to do it at the last leg of preparations.
Some important things that could be of great help
1.        Analyze the syllabus and scheme of examinations properly
2.       Go though the books specifically designed  for the exam that you are preparing
3.       Practice basics first
4.       Then practice and study specific targeted books
5.       Once done, start with practice sets & old test papers
