previous years question papers should be attempted as they help in understanding

in minimum efforts to get maximum marks to clear the cut-off. It helps the
candidates to set their targets for the examination.

Time management is the key to good results:

Equal time should be given to each subject. Consistency is an important factor. The
candidate must be consistent in his/ her preparation. The preparation must include
reading, writing & typing practices on an everyday basis. The candidate should start
preparing for the next examination even before the result of the previous
examination is announced.

Make books your best friend:

best books for preparation of SSC 10+2 CHSL examinations.

Take Help from online videos:

There are many video tutorials available online that explain about the concepts in
detail and provide tips & tricks for solving the questions that can be of some help.

Practice makes a man perfect:

Practice is the most important part of the preparation. Practice as many questions
as you can from the previous years’ question papers and books available in the
market. The practice must include writing essays, letters and applications for SSC
10+2 CHSL Tier-II examinations. One can refer to books and previous year
question papers to get an idea of topics for the writing section. Keep yourself abreast
with the current happenings by reading regularly as it helps know the current state
of affairs and helps boost vocabulary skills. One must also practice typing
regularly.
Test yourself:

Regularly take mock tests and solve sample question papers to know how much
you’ve understood and how well you’re prepared.

important while giving the exam. Proper diet and adequate sleep also better the

understanding of the questions. The candidate must have advance
understanding for this section. Be careful that you do not misunderstand
the question. Regular practice is the key to solving this problem.
 The questions in the section of Quantitative Aptitude are complex and
consume more time than other sections. So, attempt this section later.
Prefer to finish the other sections first.
 The English section of the paper is less time consuming, but the questions
can be dubious. This section is a scoring section in the paper. Maintain
focus while solving it.
 The General Awareness section requires minimum time and is the most
scoring section if you are aware of what’s happening around you.
