  1. The first and foremost step is know the complete syllabus of SSC CGL Tier 1, 2 exam. Sticking to the syllabus will help the candidates to avoid the time lapse on trivial topics.
  2. The study resources should be limited. This means candidates should focus and try to cover the syllabus from stipulated source rather than longing for more and more books. This will also help them to avoid wasting any time and learning effectively.
  3. Attempt the mock tests regularly. As SSC CGL Tier 2 is a lengthy paper so the candidates are advised to attempt atleast one complete mock test regularly.
  4. It has been noticed that the SSC repeats certain pattern every year in Tier 2 exam. So this makes it important for the candidates to practice the previous year question papers.
  5. SSC CGL Tier 3 is a descriptive paper. So it is advised that the students should start writing an essay and a letter twice in a week.
  6. It is seen that the governmental job aspirants practice maths, reasoning and other such subjects and avoid writing stuff. But Tier 3 is a test of writing skills. Therefore, candidates need to get into that zone to acheive succes in the exam.
  7. The Tier 3 is an important aspect of the selection process so students should keep it in mind that subject to failure in Tier 3 will make the candidature null and void from further examination process.
