HOW TO PREPARE FOR REASONING FOR SSC CGL AND SSC CHSL

Many beginners are confused about the preparation of Reasoning for different SSC Exams. They used to buy thick reasoning books from different writers like R. S. Agarwal, M.K. Pandey etc.

They used to give lots of their time in solving chapters from these books. Sometimes, they feel disheartened when they find lots of tough questions in these books.

Dear all SSC Aspirants, I also used to do the same in the beginning of my preparation of SSC. I had devoted lots of my valuable time in solving questions from such books.

But When I went through the question papers of SSC, I realised that I was acting like a fool by solving such thick books and their exercises. What I realised is that there is no need of book for the preparation of Reasoning for SSC. The level of Reasoning of SSC is not that hard. It’s very easy and scoring paper. After 2 to 3 months of study, one can score 40+ easily in this section in the real SSC exam.

So the golden tips to master this section are to solve at least 2 previous papers of Reasoning daily from good previous papers’ sets.

I will recommend solving previous years’ reasoning sets from Kiran Publication as you will find less error in this book.

Initially solve 2 previous papers of Reasoning daily without taking any time limit. Solve each question by and by. And circle/underline those questions in which you are stuck. After solving the 50 questions’ paper, analyze the paper i.e. try to see in which questions you find difficulty. Then with the help of answer, try to understand How to solve such types of questions. The beginners will find many new questions of reasoning but gradually those questions will be a piece of cake for them as they will solve previous papers’ questions again and again.

After 1 month or so , start solving previous years’ reasoning papers taking a time limit of 30 minutes and try to solve all the questions within 30 minutes. Gradually you will master this section by mere practicing from previous years’ papers.

Guys, Just sink deep in your heart that you have to crack SSC and you will definitely clear it.

All the very best 

20 Cheat Codes to excel in Interview

Hello SSC ASPIRANTS.

I am posting  20 Cheat Codes that will help you to excel in Interview. Actually these are not cheat codes, these are 20 golden tips for Interview. But I have named it cheat code as It will help you to have the edge over others.

As all of you know that SSC CPO Interview is going to be held on December. So the selected guys have less time to prepare for Interview. Also If there will be Interview for SSC CGL 2014 then these below mentioned tips will also be beneficial for the same.

First understand “What is Interview?”

Interview is all about personality test. It is not just question answer round. Through Interview, Personality and attitude of the Interviewee is evaluated. Confidence, Verbal and Non Verbal Communication, Proper gesture and a good Personality is necessary to excel in Interview.

Especially SSC CGL Interview is different from Bank Interview. In SSC Interview, Interviewer can ask anything under the roof. For example, If you are commerce student then they can ask you basic questions of history, geography, constitution along with your subject.

20 Cheat Codes for Interview

11.       Go to SSCNAUKRI website and read the Interview experience posted by the candidates to get a rough idea of the type of questions asked in Interview and the attitude of the Interviewer. It will help you a lot.

22.       As all of you know that You will have to fill Bio Data Form. Many a times Questions are mainly asked from your Bio Data only along with some current affairs. So you should be very careful while filling Bio Data Form. Some of the tips to write in Bio Data are-

(i)                  Fill in legible manner.

(ii)                Just write the true information in Bio Data. Don’t be boastful. Interviewers can see through it.

(iii)               No spelling errors or cut marks in Bio Data as It will reflect bad personality of yours.

(iv)              Don’t write in short manner. Like if You are Physics Honours student then don’t write Phy.(Honours). Write Completely.

(v)                If you have achieved something during your studies like if you were District or State topper then do write the same. Because it may help you to fetch good marks. And those who have scored fewer marks in academics then don’t be sad. If you answer questions related to your academics very well then you will get good marks for sure.

(vi)              If you have participated in Extra Curricular activities and social services and you have the certificate for the same then do mention it. It shows your leadership quality, your attitude towards society etc.

(vii)             You have to fill hobby. Don’t just write anything there. What your real hobby is,kindly write that only. And also do some research of the same. Like if u write playing cricket as your hobby then you should know basic stuffs of cricket,current events, BCCI, ICC and all. So be very careful while writing it.

33.       Always wear a smile on your face during Interview .

44.       Dress formally. Don’t wear casual dress. It’s not necessary to wear Coat and Tie if you feel uncomfortable in it. For Boys, Wear Shirt (formal shirt) , Formal Pant and Leather shoes. Don’t wear sports shoes. The colour of the dress should be sober. For Girls, Dress conservatively. If you are comfortable then you may wear Business Suit.

55.       During the Interview,Speak in the language in which you are comfortable. If you are not comfortable in English then you may speak in Hindi. It will not decrease your marks.

66.       You should never argue with the Interviewer. If they are saying something and you have different opinion about the same then criticise in constructive way.

77.       You should not use high pitch or very low pitch voice during Interview. Also You should not speak in a hurried manner. Speak politely and clearly.

88.       You should be well versed in the subjects whom you studied. Because if one doesn’t know about one’s subject then It shows negative and careless attitude of the Interviewee. So Read all the basic stuffs related to your subject.

99.       Before entering the Interview room, You should ask permission for the same. And after reaching the Interview board, greet them. After greeting them , ask permission to seat. Then after their permission, thank them.  Sit comfortably with an erect posture. When the Interview is over, Do thank them.

110.   Don’t let the fear of Interview taking your mind. Just be cool and attentive during Interview.

111.   Listen to the Interviewer carefully. If you don’t understand some questions then only request them to repeat the questions.

112.   Maintain eye contact while listening and answering Interviewer’s questions.  Many students stare elsewhere while listening or answering the questions.  Don’t do this. It shows negative personality of the Interviewee.

113.    Don’t use slangs like “yeah”, “you know” ,”well” etc.

114.   Don’t give wrong answers to the Interviewer. If you don’t know the answer of some questions, tell them straight,”Sorry, I don’t know the answer”. Lot of my friends were not able to answer many questions of the Interview and told sorry each time, still they got good marks in Interview. So Don’t ever lie to the experienced Interviewer.

115.   Don’t just answer in “yes” or” no” if they are asking your opinion about a particular event. Like if they ask you that are you satisfied with the poll results in Bihar? Then don’t  just answer in “yes” or “no”. Instead explain enough to satisfy your views. Your answer should be self explanatory.

116.    It will be beneficial to give mock interviews as It will give real feel of the Interview and will lessen your stress during D Day. If you live in place where such facility is not available then you can request your friends to become Interviewer and ask questions and also tell them to evaluate you,your voice,your answer etc.

117.   You should know well about history, geography and current events of Your State and District. You should also know the famous personalities of your state. You should know the meaning of your name.

118.    Brush up your graduation subjects. Because If one is asked from graduation subject and one doesn’t  know the answer  then It shows the carelessness of Interviewee that he/she had no interest what he/she does. So prepare for your subjects very well. If one has changed his stream after Intermediate e.g. If one has completed Intermediate in Science and switched to Commerce or Arts later on in graduation the he/she  will have to  read subjects studied in Intermediate and Graduation both for the purpose of Interview.

119.   If you have work experience then you should know very well about  your company profile, your work nature etc. Why are you switching from present job?

220.    You should prepare basic stuffs from other subjects viz. Science, History, Geography and Constitution. You should also have the knowledge of Current affairs and events.

All the best guys. I hope these tips will really help you to score good marks in Interview. Be confident while facing the Interview. Because at last, Confidence and personality matter most in Interview.

Good Luck

How and What to Read in Newspaper

Many Ssc Aspirants are confused about reading newspaper. They are confused how and what to read in newspaper..which newspaper is good..

So let me clear some doubts of you..

I will suggest to read "The Hindu" newspaper..If it is not available in your area then any standard newspaper will do the work for you..But if "the Hindu" is available then read that only..

Now let's talk about what to read in it..

I will suggest to read two sections of newspaper.. 

First section is editorial which is mandatory to be read.. Second section can be chosen by you according to your like and taste. Like if you love cricket or football news then read the play section of newspaper.. 

So it's clear now what to read in newspaper.

The time that should be devoted to reading newspaper may differ from person to person. Like If you are from hindi medium or vernacular medium student and your English is very weak then I will suggest to read newspaper for atleast 1 hour but If your English is average then the the time duration may range between 30 to 60 minutes.

Now It's time to suggest how to use newspaper for proper utilisation of yours.

Way of reading newspaper may be different from person to person. But in my point of view the best way to read newspaper is to read newspaper by speaking aloud.

You should not read English in mind. Instead one should read newspaper by speaking aloud. The benefit of the same will be ..your pronunciation will improve..

According to me,the way to read newspaper is as follows-

first read one section e.g. editorial of the newspaper by speaking aloud... Also write down the high frequency words and the words whose meaning is not known to you which you find while reading newspaper.. after reading the section, write down the meaning of those words and try to remember them.. then again read the newspaper keeping in mind the word u noted down and try to grasp the meaning of the passage you read..

Also try to remember and repeat the words daily which you noted down in your notebook.. the benefit of the same will be that those words will be in your mind for last long.. and generally in newspaper many high frequency words repeat, after 3 to 4 months of reading newspaper daily, you will not have to note down words as you will find repetition of learnt words..

Along with reading newspaper,Read word power made easy by Norman Lewis for strong vocabulary..

Good Luck

How to read General Knowledge for Tier 1

Hello guys..

I know there is one part of SSC CGL Tier 1 which scares a lot to SSC Aspirants and that part is of General Knowledge. Even many selected candidates have got very less marks in this subject owing to the constant boredom of reading general knowledge. 

I was also very dull in General Knowledge. When I had given SSC CGL 2013 Exam which was cancelled, I got Minus 1 (-1) marks in GS section. So, You can imagine what my GS section would be at that time. Then I read somewhere to read Lucent General Knowledge. When I started lucent, I was learning everything by rote. That means mai pura ek ek chiz ratta mar raha tha.. Usse problem ye hua ki 1 se 2 page ratta marne mai mujhe 3 se 4 ghante (hours) lag jate the..thode din bad mai wo v bhul jata tha..then one person suggested me to Just read the book daily again and again..Usne bola “ratta mat mar.Kewal book ko har din padho.matlab ki agar mai aj 3 se 4 page padha to phir kal v ussi 3 se 4 page padhna hoga aur phir tisre din agla 4 se 5 page padhna hoga..phir one week bad sara ko repeat karna hoga.. (He said ,”don’t try to learn it by rote Just read the book again and again. Like if u r reading page no. 1 to 4 today,then revise this again next day,and after that next day read page no.5 to 8 and then again revise it next day and so on.. After one or two week,revise from page no.1). Actually whatever he said is on the basis of the research done by scientist which says that if one study like this,then whatever one read ,will be in mind for a long time. Then I did the same and I saw the improvement in me. This method worked very well and mujhe sara history ,civics etc. ish book se pura yaad ho gaya tha.. You will not believe but I want to share that I had scored -1 in GS section in 2013 CGL but owing to this method, I scored very decent marks in CGL 2014. Now You can realize that I am not a unique guy. I am just a simple guy like you.. So,adopt this method and read any good book of General Knowledge. But you will have to study GS section every day..

Good Luck :)

Some basic yet useful Information regarding SSC CGL Interview

--

Hello Guys. I would like to tell some basic yet useful information of SSC CGL Interview that will help you to know how to prepare for SSC CGL Interview.

First thing first.. SSC CGL Interview is different from Bank Interview. In Ssc Interview,they can ask anything under the roof. For example, If you are commerce graduate then that doesn't mean that you will be asked from commerce only. You may be asked from History,Geography, Constitution or Science even If you are commerce graduate.

Many of you may be thinking that What the hell I am talking. But it's true. I am from commerce graduate but in Ssc 2013 Interview, I was asked lot of questions from history and Constitution. I was also given a math to solve. They didn't ask even a single question from commerce.
In 2014 Interview,they again didn't ask anything from my commerce subjects. Instead they asked basic questions from Science, English,Constitution, grammar and current affairs.

It doesn't mean that don't read your subjects. Do read your subjects. But I am trying to say that you should prepare basic stuffs from other subjects viz. Science,history,geography and Constitution as well along with your graduation subjects. I am not saying to go in depth of these subjects. But basics of these subjects should be read in order to excel in Interview.

Do brush up your graduation subjects. Because If one is asked from graduation subject and one doesn't know the answer then it shows the carelessness of the Interviewee that he/she has no interest what he/she does. So prepare for your subjects very well.

If you have work experience then you should know very well about your company profile,  your work nature etc. But again along with this ,you should prepare for your graduation subjects.

If one has changed his stream after Intermediate e.g. If one has completed Intermediate in Science and switched to Commerce or Arts later on in graduation then he/she will have to read subjects studied in Intermediate and Graduation both for Interview.

Along with these, you should keep an eye on Current affairs, our different government plans e.g. Swach Bharat Abhiyan, Smart cities etc.

You should be get ready for the
Write anything in  your Bio Data after full Deliberation.

In my next post, I will suggest what to prepare from Bio Data, polity etc.

P.S.- Nobody knows whether SSC will conduct Interview for SSC CGL 2015 or not. But It's better to prepare for Interview. Because after publication of result one will get only 1 month or so to prepare for the Interview. It will also help you in developing your personality.
Good Luck :)

Some myths regarding SSC CGL Exam (MUST READ)(PART 2)

1. One can't clear the exam without coaching-

It's ridiculous if one is saying so.. Coaching just give you guidance.. But if you are little bit sincere for your studies,then no need of coaching..but If u really feel that you cant clear the exam without coaching and your basic is very weak then join a coaching but dont go with the name of the coaching. Choose coaching after talking to the students who are there in the coaching and also seniors who are selected..

2. One can't clear SSC CGL in his first attempt if he is from non math background and also a hindi/vernacular medium student-

Aisha kuch nahi hai..just study with full dedication and labour hard on the right direction. There are lot of guys out there who cleared the exam in his first attempt.

3. To crack SSC CGL,one will have to burn midnight oil or will have to read atleast 10 hours-

Nothing is like this..just 5 to 6 hours of sincere study will get you through the exam..I have never studied after 10 pm at night.. Because my sleeping time is 10 pm. But I used to devote 5 to
6 hours in the morning and noon. I am not saying that dont study at night..study according to your convenience.If u feel comfortable reading in the morning then study in the morning but if u love burning midnight oil than do that..but just emphasise on quality of study,not in study hours.

4. One who is weak in english specially hindi/vernacular medium students,can't improve their english and hence can't clear the exam-

It is a very big myth. Listen guys,there is nothing a person can't acheive in his life. Just keep believe in yourself. One just need to devote more and more time in the section which are weak. Constant effort and perseverance will help u master any subject whether it is math or english.My english was also weak due to the fact that I am a hindi medium student. But I never lose hope and made some genuine effort which helped me to score good marks in this section.

5. One can't clear the exam due to very high cut off after tier 2-

Ya,cutoff has increased drastically after Cgl 2013. But if you labour hard in the right direction,u will definitely clear the exam. See I always emphasize on "labour in right direction." It is so because If one labour very hard but without knowing the syllabus and without seeing the types of questions asked in the exam,then it will not help him alot.. Labour in right direction is must..

When I had started my SSC CGL 2013 preparation, I was very scared. No one was there to guide me. Mujhe lagta tha ki mai tier 1 mai 85 v score kr paunga ya nahi.. and U know, I had just scored 92.5 in tier 1 in SSC CGL 2013(Cancelled) and was only eligible for tax assistant. But I was so happy that I scored 92.5marks. At that time that was my biggest achievement..When one seniour bhaiya told me that he had scored 110 marks. I was shocked that how one can score such huge marks.He was like a hero for me at that time and I made him my motivation and determined that somehow I have to score more than him. After that I toiled hard and scored very decent marks in tier 1.

I am saying so to show all of you guys that nothing is impossible. Everything is possible.Yeah,It takes time. But if you are doing constant effort with full enthusiasm, you can master everything.

6. Only engineering students,Bankers and Mba students can clear the exam-

It's just ridiculous. I just know one thing anybody can clear the exam who are sincere for studies and giving genuine efforts to achieve his goal. No matter whether he belongs to village or town or from hindi medium or english medium or an arts graduate. What really matters is his dedication and strong desire to achieve something.

Guys,these are just myths. Never believe in such things. Just believe in yourself. Haan aisha ho sakta hai ki apka abhi level kafi niche ho..apka basic kafi kamjor ho..Apko english ya Math samajh mai na aata ho.. But It doesn't mean that you can't strong your weak subjects . You can.. But for that u will have to keep a strong believe in yourself that whatever hurdle come on your way to success,you will face it. You will not try to escape from it. You will have to labour hard to combat your weak sections. And believe me, you will achieve your target.

God is not partial. He has given every human being the same power and opportunity to achieve anything in life. But successful persons are those who realise their power and make genuine efforts to achieve their dream. Escaping from your weak point is not the solution. It will just worse your life.

And one thing more.. Never think to commit anything wrong.. people start thinking to do suicide when they can't clear the exam.. It's not the solution.. It is also like escaping from hurdles which come on your way... never think of doing such thing. I know guys that aplog ke upper family ka kafi pressure hoga..bahut sare log apko comment krte honge ki apse kuch nahi ho sakta..apke friends log apka majak udate honge.. jis karan ap suicide karne jaise galat bat soch rahe honge.. but apko pata hai agar ap aisha kuch karenge to apke family ko kitna hurt hoga..log kahenge ki life mai wo kuch nahi kar skta tha isliye suicide kar liya..uske bad v apka log majak hi udayenge..

So guys if you really want to shut their mouth forever then give your best.. jitna mehnat kar sakte ho,usse aur jyada karo..bus dimag mai yahi bat rakho ki I have to achieve my target and I will... U will see miracle ..You will achieve your target.. kyunki sabke life mai aisha moment aata hai..log majak udate hai..aas paas ke log dekh kar haste hai.. but jo successful hote hai wo dusro ki bato par dhyan nahi dete.. wo bus effort krte hai kuch achieve krne ka aur wo achieve kar v lete hai..

Lekin agar apka government exam clear nahi ho paya aur age khatm ho gaya exam dene ka to dukhi nahi ho..government job hi sab kuch nahi hota..ap private job karke v niche se kafi upper ja sakte hai..aur logo ko dikha sakte hai apni kabiliyat..isliye kabhi v negative bat dimag mai na laye.. aur mehnat kare..safalta jarur milegi..
All the very best
