In the Examination Hall
A proper strategy is necessary to crack any competition exam.
You need to concentrate on minor details because every second matters in such
tough competitions.
Now Strategy begins with proper understanding of syllabus and
planning and ends with your responses on the OMR sheet.
Today i will tell you some final strategy tips that should be
followed by SSC candidates.
Before the exam:
Leave preparation a night before competition exam and
take a deep sleep. Rest and enjoy with friends. Do you understand why ?
Check that you have all the documents and other important stuff
related to exam. Double check your ID and Photos. Take a half used ball pen
with big round nib, because it will help you to fill OMR bubbles
easily. This small tip can save 3-4 minutes and you can answer 8-10 GK
questions easily in the mean time.
Going for exam
Do not take books when going for a exam. Listen to music and
don´t take tension. Stress will affect your performance in exam.
In the Examination Hall
Before Exam starts:
Complete all your
formalities well before 10 AM or 2PM, like declaration, OMR answer
sheet filling, attendance, thumb impression etc. Normally it has been seen
that Invigilators do these formalities in the middle of the exam, which will
divert your concentration completely and can decide your future.
If invigilator is not doing all these formalities before exam,
ask him/her to do so, tell him that then there is no point to be called
40 minutes before the exam and if no one is saying, then you must initiate
the discussion. Normally, others will follow you, once you initiated the valid
point and invigilator will be able to understand. If this does not help you,
move to the supervisor without any hesitation.
First of all do not take a overview of questions being asked.
SSC is not a board exam, whether question paper is easy or tough, just start
doing. Read question, if you know the answer, tick it, otherwise move to next
question. Do not mess with questions you don´t know.
Decide how will you answer questions?
1. Solve a question on question paper and answer on OMR sheet,
one by one
2. Answer all the questions first on Question paper then
answer on OMR sheet all at once.
This depends on you, practice with mock tests and choose which suits you best.
SSC TIER 1
Which section should be attempted first?
Order should be
1.GK
2. English
3. Reasoning
4. Mathematics
You would be wondering , why to attempt GK first , the reason
behind is that when you start attempting, your mind will not be at your full
frequency and GK question does not need big understanding , they just need to
recall from the memory, if you know the answer, tick it, otherwise leave it.
There is no point wasting your time on stupid guess.
You should complete GK in maximum of 10-15 minutes , Next
part is English, where most of questions are based on Vocabulary,
Error finding, IDIOM etc, same thing applies here. If you know the answer tick
it, otherwise leave it. In the comprehension part, read first few line
carefully with speed, don´t go directly to questions, after reading first
few lines. Read full passage, it will give you good idea, what passage is all
about and you will be aware of location of important points in the passage.
Your should also complete your English section in 20-25 minutes.
Next part is Reasoning
Well Reasoning is an interesting section, but sometime a
logic does not hit your mind in the exam. Take precaution while attempting such
time of question, here all questions carry equal marks. Don´t waste your time
on difficult question, even if you will be able to solve it, but this will not
be beneficial.Mess with questions at home ; not in the examination hall.
if puzzles are taking too much time, leave them. Do questions
which you can do easily. You know your strengths and weaknesses more
than anyone else.. Attempt accordingly.
Reasoning must be completed in 30-35 minutes.
Now
Final section should be Mathematics, because it is somewhat time consuming,
we have approximately 45 minutes left for it.
Now, same strategy applies here, do questions you can solve
easily. If you have done enough practice at home, you would know which questions
you can do or which are out of your knowledge.
Note: Decrease 3-4 Minutes from each section if you are
answering on the OMR sheet all at once.
So that was the strategy, that must be followed by a candidate,
in the exam hall.
