SSC CGL Preparation

Hello,
There are basically 4 sections in SSC exams - 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.

I have cleared this exam without any coaching. I had even studied only from the standard books available in the market. But Before I start, it would be pertinent to tell you my qualification and my level of knowledge before preparation. So that you could appreciate this answer better. Qualification: BE (Computers). Level of Knowledge:
1. MATHS: Non-Maths background student generally stereotype Engineers that all are good at Maths. No doubt we have an edge over Arts, commerce student. We can learn it faster than them. However, the matter of fact is we all have been out of touch and even we have to work hard to score good marks in maths.
2. ENGLISH: Though I studied in English medium school, yet I was very poor in english. You can judge my knowledge of English by this " when for the first time I opened SP Bakshi for English, I have asked my friend that which is correct he dances or he dance".
3. GENERAL AWARENESS: My knowledge of GA is so good that I scored 2 marks in 2013 Tier -I exam.
4. REASONING: Before I started preparing for CGLE I have never studied Reasoning. However, after analysing previous year paper, I was confident of scoring good marks as I didn't find it too tough. First Attempt: I was not even able to clear tier I. Second attempt: This time I was damn serious. I had decided I will leave nothing for chance. BOOKS REFERRED:
MATHS: M. Tyra. Though it did not have MCQ based questions, yet I find it very good book for clearing concepts. LUCENT'S HIGHER MATHEMATICS PART-2: As MTyra did not cover Geometry and Algebra section. I had to cover Geometry and Algebra from this book. I find it very good book. ENGLISH: SP Bakshi. If I found something difficult to understand in this book, I searched it online. Grammar girl and some other blogs are very helpful. VOCABULARY: I read first page, editorials and sports page from TOI newspaper. I used to mark all words which I thought I was not clear about. There are many words which we think that we know but we get confused about the real meaning when we see the similar looking options in exam. I learnt everything about the word synonyms, antonyms, usage of word and preposition used with the word. I did this activity for 60 days without actually mugging any word. Just going thoroughly the meaning and usage of words. After I had some basic understanding, I started making list of good words. I purposely limited my words list to 200.

Career Launcher, Guwahati is undoubtedly the centre that doesn't disappoint and the best coaching centre for bank classes. The centre head himself teaches Quant and DI and is available 24*7 on WhatsApp. Other faculty members from English and LR are also worth mentioning and from whom I have learned a lot apart from academics. The best part is that you will find students from other reputed coaching institutes repeating their coaching with CL which itself is a proof that it's actually good. Needless to mention that their mock test series is amongst the best and study materials well researched. The fact that the faculty members are so approachable is what makes it the best. Faculty members won't shy away from questions being posed to them and are ever ready to help. This becomes even more important if you are that kind of person who is a little introvert. The class environment gives each an equal opportunity for questions being asked.
