Knowing exactly what to study for SSC CGL — not everything at once — often separates candidates who clear it from those who burn out. Here’s the Tier 1/2 breakdown.
TEST AD — Block 2 (Ad Inserter working)
Tier 1
- Reasoning: analogies, coding-decoding, series
- GA: current affairs, static GK, science
- Aptitude: arithmetic, algebra, geometry, DI
- English: grammar, vocab, comprehension
Tier 2
- Paper 1 (all posts): advanced aptitude, reasoning, English, GA
- Paper 2 (Statistics)
- Paper 3 (Finance/Economics)
Strategy
Prioritize speed/accuracy in aptitude and reasoning first; static GK later. Monthly cycles: concepts, then mocks and revision.
