SSC CGL 2019 Tier 1 (Day 1 Analysis, Tips and Questions asked) All Shifts

GENERAL TIPS

Learn Art of Skipping: Not all questions in CGL are meant to be solved and the time to solve each question varies considerably. You must not try to solve each and every question. Learn when to skip a question, remember every second count.

Time Management: This is the most important and crucial part of the CGL Exam. Some questions take more time than others. You must skip those questions for later and solve the questions which are easier and takes comparatively less time.

Avoid Ego: Do not let your ego trick yourself. You might be consistently solving 25/25 questions of Reasoning / Maths in Mock tests but, now you need to think about skipping some of the time taking and calculative questions so easy unexplored questions may be attempted.

Section Wise Tips

Reasoning: Do not take reasoning for granted, if you are unable to solve all 25 questions quickly, skip for other questions/sections. This year the level of reasoning has improved significantly. A few questions are more time-consuming. (Ideal Time: 18-20 Minutes)

General Awareness: This year's General Awareness section is similar to previous years. Approximately 8-10 questions are asked from current affairs. January is the most important month for current affairs questions. If you know the answer or even can eliminate 2 options, you should attempt the question. Do not waste time on thinking, its GK, either you know or you don't know you cant calculate answers. This section Should not take more than 4-5 minutes.

Maths: This year Maths questions were similar to last years questions in difficulty level. As per the students feedback, the 2nd shift was bit calculative than other two shifts. If you have your basics clear, you can solve the questions, but again use the art of skipping difficult (time taking) questions for last. You should make sure that no question is left unread, sometimes easy questions are left as students have not seen them due to time constraints. Most importantly, Do not Try to derive/invent any theorem/formula, just focus on solving the solvable. (Ideal Time: 25-30 Minutes)

English: English (though a foreign language) was the easiest section among all. All vocabulary part was easy and from previous year questions (just revise "Section A" of Black Book). 2 questions each were asked from Antonyms / Synonyms / Spelling / OWS / Idioms / PQRS / Voice / Narration / Error Detection / Sentence Improvements and a cloze test with 5 questions. (8 - 10 Minutes)
