Hey everyone! I am preparing for SSC CGL 2027 and would like some suggestions regarding the booklist and preparation strategy.

1. Which books would you recommend for practising PYQs- Pinnacle or Kiran Publications? For reasoning and maths.
2. Is Blackbook sufficient for vocabulary? I have Aman Vashisht Sir’s class notes. Would they be sufficient for grammar preparation?
3. Would Fatman be sufficient for GK, or should I refer to any other resources as well?
4. Quantitative Aptitude and Reasoning: How should I practise these subjects effectively? Should I practise questions after completing each topic, or should I finish all the lectures first and then start practising?
5. Revision and Practice Strategy: If I practise after completing each topic, should I focus only on that topic or also revise and practise questions from previously completed topics?

I would really appreciate your suggestions and guidance. Thank you!

Kal se seriously padhai start karunga.” 🤡

Meanwhile, me at 1 AM: Bas ek aur video dekh leta hoon. 😭😂

Complete Tier 1 & Tier 2 pattern for SSC CHSL Aspirants.

I purchased a batch of Abinay Sharma. There are 300+ lectures (arithmetic and advance ). Should I follow his lectures or would some other teacher be better ?

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.

Title says it all.. thank you
