How to Prepare Mathematics for SSC and other competitive exams
Mathematics is an interesting subject. Many people find it hard
to understand just because they don't have interest in Mathematics.
Mathematics and Reasoning enhance your problem solving
skills not only in exam but also in real life. Both are based on
systematic approach and both of them need a lot of PRACTICE.
Now come to the point. How to prepare for Mathematics?
Mathematics section will be of 250(50+200) marks. You can not
leave Mathematics as well as English. Both are equally important.If you want to
get success in SSC competition exam, there is no alternate way. You must have
good grip over Mathematics & English.
Remember even if you are good in Mathematics and below avg. in
English or vice-versa , you will not be able to get your dream job. So give equal time to both subjects,
when you feel bored in one, pick up another's book and try to solve Mathematics
questions at night to overcome drowsy feeling.
How to approach Quantam CAT by Sarvesh Kumar Verma
If you are absolute dull in Mathematics I recommend to join some
good coaching of Mathematics, who can give you time to get your
concept clear otherwise you will have to suffer a lot and lot of time
will be wasted.
I am mentioning, coaching institute who can give you time
because many coaching institutes will take care of you only up to
admission.
This book is written from CAT point of view but it is equally
applicable to SSC CGL, I assure you questions cannot come out of this book.
Author has over 20 years of experience and he has presented all
the stuff in a step by step easy way. Exercise are distributed in various
difficulty levels.
From SSC point of view, Level 1 is sufficient, if you want more
you can go for higher levels and Final Round
and Miscellaneous exercises. You can leave chapter 16,17 and
20. But I don't guarantee you that question will not come from these
chapters. It is always a good idea to be well prepared for worst
conditions. So you should do them if you have time.
I recommend you to start from chapter 1 and solve all questions
even basic questions up to level 1, after that you should move to next chapter.
If you are not a fresher in the field of competition exam, you
can start from anywhere you like.
Author has presented the book from exam point of view. You don't
have to solve each and every question in competition exam. You can guess sure
shot answer from options also. Author has explained various logical ways, to
omit wrong options and to find right answer.
This strategy is really necessary because you will have to do
200 (All four sections)questions in Tier 1 in 2 hours and 100 Mathematics
question in 2 hours.
Now, from SSC point of view, Basic Mathematics, ALGEBRA,
Trigonometry, Mensuration and Geometry, DI all are equally
important.
Below is the avg. category wise analysis of TIER 1
2013 EXAM
Below is the category division
For Bank PO exams, you must have good grip over Basic
Mathematics, Algebra and DI no questions being asked from Trigonometry,
Geometry etc.
So prepare accordingly, SSC is a like a mini IAS exam. They want
you to be good in all areas. While preparing for SSC, give special attention to
Geometry, Mensuration and Trigonometry and many results of these sections
are inter-related. Application of one is used in other.
You must have good grip over these sections which requires
interest to learn, conceptual clarity and with large amount of PRACTICE.
You may take help of a good teacher and follow him/her
religiously and get your concept clear because it is necessary.
Write down PRACTICE word on your wall as well as in your mind.
It will motivate you.
Don't worry with hunger to learn and with practice you
will be able to crack SSC.
That concludes strategy for Mathematics. Tier 2 has little tough
questions as compared to Tier 1 but they can also be cracked. Because nothing
is impossible.
Thanks for reading and best of luck for competitive exam. I wish
for your bright future.
