1. Understand the Syllabus Thoroughly
Before you start preparing, go through the official SSC syllabus. Know what topics to expect in each section and prioritize high-scoring areas.

Regular mock tests will help you manage time, identify weak areas, and improve accuracy. Try to simulate the actual exam environment during practice.

Since English carries 100 marks, focus on comprehension, grammar rules, synonyms, antonyms, and sentence correction. Reading newspapers and editorials daily can be helpful.

For General Awareness, cover the last 6 months’ current affairs. Focus on government schemes, national & international events, awards, and appointments.
