Q:   How to prepare for SSC CHSL?

A:
Hello, There are basically 4 sections in SSC exam - Verbal Ability, DILR, Quants and GK. Verbal Ability: Start reading newspaper daily to increase your reading speed and grasping power. It will also help you to get in touch with basic vocab. Don't miss out the editorial page. Do a proper analysis of articles on the editorial page. Try to make a summary of articles that you read para by para. You can switch to the book called WORD POWER MADE EASY by NORMAN LEWIS. DILR The best thing to score in LR-DI is to practice more questions on a daily basis so you understand which sets you should leave and before attempting the sets what are the things you should look for. I would suggest 'Puzzles by George J Summers'. Quants This section is one of the most scoring section for student and you too should try to get maximum marks in this section. It has a proper syllabus and you need to practice each and every chapter. The major topics are- Geometry, Arithmetic, Algebra, Number System and Modern Math. It is basically the math that you have studied till the tenth standard. However, having said that, the questions are not really easy. Focus more on Arithmetic and Algebra as these two are the most important topics. GK Read newspaper daily for current affairs and go for Lucent for GK.

Q:   Is SSC CHSL exam tough?

A:

No, the difficulty level of SSC CHSL exam is not very high. However, the competition for the exam is fierce. Every year, Lacsof candidates appear for the SSC CHSL exam to get recruited in Group C posts for various Ministries/ Departments/ Offices of the Government of India and various Constitutional Bodies/ Statutory Bodies/ Tribunals,  etc.. Candidates who prepare well in advance can easily crack the exam with flying colours.

Q:   What is a good score in SSC CHSL?

A:
A SSC CHSL score of around 120 and above is considered a good score in Tier 1 examination. However, candidates who obtain the SSC CHSL cut off marks are qualified in the exam. The SSC CHSL cut off varies every year. The competition in the CHSL exam is getting stronger year by year and thus, the cut off is fixed higher every year. The CHSL cut off in 2018 was 135.60 in comparison to 159.52 in 2019.
