How to prepare for Mathematics for SSC Exams


I have seen SSC Aspirants being scared from math section of SSC exam due to the vast syllabus of math.
After introduction of advanced math in SSC,Non mathematics background students started thinking that SSC is hard nut to crack now. But guys,I wanna tell all of you that Perseverance in proper direction with positive mindset can make any thing a piece of cake.
Nobody can demotivate you. You have the sole responsibility to unleash your inner power and to catch your dream. All of you must have heard the quotation ," Nothing is impossible. Even Impossible says I+M+Possible". It's high time you started preparing for your dream job.
Now coming to the main topic i.e. How to prepare for Math..
Lot of students will suggest you to read NCERT books or RD sharma book from class 6 to 10 to clear your concepts. I had also got the same suggestion in the initial point of my preparation and I adopted the same. But after 1 month or so, I realised that reading and solving NCERT or RD sharma books by own is taking lot of time. Also there are lot of irrelevant questions which is of no use from the point of view of preparation of SSC. And then I put aside those books. I am not saying that NCERT Books are not good.
They are awesome books but they are made for academic purpose instead of Ssc preparation purpose. They are good for building concept but you find irrelevant things in them which will just waste your precious time. It's better to read some good books which is concise and will help you in cracking tier 2 exam.
If your concept is not clear in arithmetic or geometrical portion of mathematics or you are stuck in some arithmetic or advance math questions then I will strongly suggest you to read "Ankganit (Vastunistha Prashno ke liye) by Mahesh Mishra"(New Edition).
I assure you that it will help you to master Mathematics of SSC in few days. One of the main features of this book is that the concept given in the beginning of each chapter is very concise. The excercises given at the end of the chapter is awesome. You will find variety of questions there. Also explanation of the solution of each question given in the chapter is given very clearly.
So I will also suggest to those aspirants whose concept is clear to please solve the excercise.
The only problem with this book is that it comes in hindi only. But i will also recommend this book to english medium students. Just complete it.
But if one is not comfortable in Hindi then I will suggest those aspirants to first clear their basic concepts from any Good book. After that they should solve "Kiran 5500+". And for advance mathematics ,they can read "Lucent Advance Mathematics" and solve all the exercise given in this book.
One Important thing to master mathematics is solving practice sets.
Practicing sets daily is the key to success in Ssc exams. Do practise 1 set daily of mathematics. And after completing the set, do analyze it 
...that means to see in which questions you are finding difficulties then write those questions in a different note book with complete solution. Also see which questions are time taking. Then try to clear the concept of those questions.
Practicing sets will help you to check your speed,accuracy and time. Time is the essential thing to clear any exam. Because one has to solve paper in the exam in the given time frame. If you can solve every questions of the exam but not within given time frame,then it is of no use. So do manage time in exam.
For practicing set, you can buy sets of paramount or you can join their test series. But if you don't have access to paramount sets then solve sets from platform or Kiran practice sets.
Also complete all the previous advance mathematics questions asked so far. Because I have seen that ssc used to ask previous questions of advance mathematics with meager twist .
Note- I am not saying that all the books other than what I mentioned above is insufficient to clear SSC exams. I am just saying that in my opinion the above mentioned books are good enough to clear SSC Exams with very good marks.
Every book is more or less the same. But some books are written so perfectly that one can easily understand and master the subject with the help of those books.
Many students always used to ask me about books. I always see that It has become their habit of asking about books. They don't read what one suggests them. Instead they just always ask same queries about books. The message to them is that It is of no use to ask about books again and again. Instead study. That will help you to sail your boat.
Suggestions just give a basic idea to prepare for any exams but hard labour and positive mindset help one to come out with flying colors. So keep this on your mind. All the very best smile emoticon
