Last-Minute Tips for SSC CGL 2022 Tier-I Exam

Let us discuss the last-minute tips to secure maximum marks in the SSC CGL Tier-I exam.

Thorough Revision

Revision is the key to retaining facts, information, formulae and other essential things for the exam. Revision plays a key role in the exam. The candidates should revise the notes and study material that they have prepared. It is a scientific fact that higher revision helps in retaining and reproducing the information faster. The candidates require the most reliable information at the fastest speed in the examination hall, hence revision is important.

The candidate must revise the shortcuts, maths tables, squares and cubes of the three digits, square root and cube roots of large numbers. It will help them immensely in the exam and save time in calculation.

Practice

Candidates are suggested to practice as much as they can because practice will improve their calculation speed, time management and information retrieval speed. Practising with the previous year's question papers (in a time-bound manner) can immensely help the candidates to match the exam like conditions.

Time Management

Time management is the most important factor in the SSC CGL exam. The candidates must try to solve the question in the first attempt itself because it would be very difficult to come back to that question after completing the section.
The other important aspect of time management is time-saving. The candidate must not waste the time on one question.

Do not panic

The candidates should remain calm and composed while appearing in the exam. The candidates should not lose their cool even when they cannot solve two-three questions in a row. Losing cool during the exam can impact negatively the overall performance of the candidate.
