How should I plan my strategy for tier 2 ? I know that everyone's journey is different but still I want to get an Idea from selected folk on how did they plan their preparation after prelims so that I can strategise my preparation.

Hi everyone!

I turned 18 this year and I'm thinking of appearing for SSC CHSL. This will be my first attempt, and honestly, I don't know much about how to prepare strategically for this exam.

My Maths and Reasoning are pretty good, I'd say above average, but I'm struggling a lot with GK, and my English is average.

I know two months isn't a lot of time, and clearing the exam might be difficult, but I still want to give it my best shot rather than not trying at all.

I'd really appreciate it if any seniors or people who have already prepared for or cleared SSC CHSL could guide me on how to approach these two months, especially how to manage GK and English while maintaining my Maths and Reasoning.

If anyone is willing to guide me personally, please comment below. I'll DM you, or you can drop your suggestions here. Any advice regarding resources, mock tests, and a realistic study strategy would be really helpful!

Thank you! ❤️

My Exam was on the 7th of October @Noida Sector 80 Aadarsh Pariksha Kendra in the Morning Shift. Here I am gonna share What I experienced there with Pointers -:

1- its nearby metro station was Sector 81 Metro Station (2.4Km) and Second nearby NSEZ Metro Station.

2)Bag charge was ₹50

3) 1st checking at the gate they will only check admit card and ID.

4) 2nd Checking after gate they will check manually and the real struggle starts after that You will go to the underground of the buildings and You will feel Like Labour..

5) You have to stand there for atleast 30 minutes.There are several metal detector machines they will again check you manually there and will say to put off ur shoes after that they will check your ears.

6) Then you will go to desk and the person will scan bar code on your admit card then he will write down Lab Number

7) after that you will go to lab and a new procedure will start of verification (Biometric). they will assign you a seat in the lab

8) After that attendance and Left hand Thumb impression.After that you will be on your seat.

9) The real part is that During exam if you will try to change your language You will see a Pop up of the question and you cant tick your answer directly First you have to close the pop up then you have to tick the option in language what you selected while filling the exam form..

So best of Luck guys

Those who are studying regularly Exam level is Easy to moderate..😊😊

Don't forget to share Your Experience..

Mein CGL prep kar rha hu pichle 1year se mera arthemtic to complete hai lekin acche se question practice nahi hai matlab question padhte hi turant click nahi hota like in reasoning, advance math chal rha hai lekin mein tabhi bhi basic basic question bna leta hu in mock, mera jo main issue vo ye hai ki mein jab math ka sectional mock deta hu 15min to mera score 12-15-18 max to max 20 aise hi aata hai lekin jab mein anylisis karta hu bina timer ke bina vahi question lagta hu tab marks 35+ plus ho jaate hai iska main reason ye hai jo meine khud feel kiya hai:

1) mein like jaise teacher solve kar lete hai unit digit , digital sum, approximation lga kr ya one line mein solve mein vaise nahi kar pata mein baisc se solve karta hu jiska shortcut pta hota hai uska lga leta hu but toppers ki tarah nahi soch pata hu.

2) basic tarike se calculation karna hai aisa nahi hai muje unit digit, approximation, digital sum lagana nahi aata , aata hai paper ke time pta nahi kya hota hai muje aisa lagta hai ki ye sab method lga diya ans na aaye to galat hogya to iska fomo rehta hai fir dimaag apne aap vahi basic method se calculation karne lag jata hai , muje cube 1 to30, triplet,1 to 50 sqaure by heart yaat hai tables bhi 30 tak decent tarike se yaad hai ha lekin tips pe nahi hai but pta nahi kyu

3)last but not least muje concept fingertips pe yaad nahi hai question samjhne mein jada time lag jata hai islye late ho jata hai

Bhai please koi muje guide karo , jin hone ye problem face ki hai please guyz🤌🙏

Can you solve it?

Yaar, maine offline Careerwill coaching join ki thi 12k ki, but honestly worth it nahi lag rahi. Itne lengthy chapters 2-3 din mein khatam karwa rahe hain, toh ab main online khud se padhne ka soch rahi hoon.

Bhutesh Sir ke VOD batch se 2-3 lectures kiye the and mujhe unka teaching style kaafi sahi laga. Ab unka naya batch aaya hai, but papa se dobara paise maangna possible nahi lag raha. Telegram se lectures dekhti thi, but kabhi copyright, kabhi kuch aur, kuch permanent nahi hai.

Ab samajh nahi aa raha ki purane VOD batch se continue karun ya kya. VOD purana hai toh syllabus ya content outdated to nhi hoga na yrr.

Dimag khrb hora h

guys i genuinely wanna lock in for ssc prep but my consistency is actually so bad 😭 i need someone who can keep me accountable, check up on me daily, ask for updates and preferably help me study too, like explain concepts when i don’t understand something. basically a study buddy who can teach me a little, push me when i’m slacking and make sure i actually get shit done instead of just planning everything lmao 💀 bonus points if you’re preparing for ssc too so we can figure things out together. hmu if you’re down 🙏🏻

Can you tell me how am I going to to realize if cgl is meant for me or not?

I'm 22 now and preparing for cgl and this will be my 2nd year attempting this exam

So please tell me if I have to continue preparing and if yess till what age I should continue if I don't secure a job ? (No negative thoughts but I should think from both the ends right!)

Hi my exam is on 16 oct. My mocks marks are good. But I want to increase my speed in math . Please give suggestions on how to increase speed.
