SSC CGL 2016 preparation guide

The SSC CGL Tier I Exam covers four sections – Reasoning, Mathematics, English Language and General Awareness. The time allowed in the exam is 2 hours, to attempt 200 questions.

In these examinations, it must be noted that Mathematics and English Language sections are pretty important and should be paid special attention to. The other two sections, i.e. Reasoning and General Awareness are the scoring sections in the Tier I exam, and thereby should in no way be ignored.

• For all the sections, especially, the General Awareness section, it is important to focus on topics rather than subjects or areas.
• Do not compromise with your practice time.
• Revise and analyse your preparation.
• In the exam, attempt the section that you are comfortable and confident with first.

A minimum of 10 hours should be put in daily for the preparation of the SSC CGL Tier I Exam.

SSC CGL Tier I Section-wise Preparation Strategy

Reasoning

This section tests your problem solving skills and ability. Solving these problems require quick and logical thinking, and strategy making skills.

The only way to prepare well for this section is practice. Daily and dedicated practice of problems relevant to the topics is the only key here. You can also expect problems related to non-verbal reasoning.

Mathematics

For this section, you will need to focus on Algebra, Geometry, Coordinate Geometry, Trigonometry and Mensuration.

English Language

For the English Language section, you will need to really brush up on your knowledge of English Grammar. Fluency in Spoken English will be of little importance for this exam, as compared to knowledge in English Grammar.

To prepare for this section, develop the habit of reading a lot. Read English newspapers daily, and some good English works, magazines, editorials, etc. Reading regularly will improve your vocabulary, your reading speed, your ability to grasp & understand the language, and your grammar.

General Awareness

Like mentioned already, for this section, keep your focus on important topics, and not on the entire subjects or areas.

SSC CGL Tier I Two Month Study Plan

Day 1 – 15

Day 16 – 30

Day 31-45

Rumours have surfaced about the Microsoft Surface Pro 5--scheduled for October--Microsoft’s next Surface Pro will reportedly be an all-round upgrade from its predecessor and will improve many of the issues relating to Internet connectivity, battery life, error messages, blue screens and keyboard cover bug (that reported crashes some of the Surface Pro 4 tablets once the keyboard is removed) to name a few.

The Surface Pro 5 will reportedly have a rechargeable stylus battery that will drastically solve most of the tablet users problems.

The new addition will also have a larger battery; the Surface Pro 4 gave seven hours of battery life at best. The larger battery will be a nice addition to extend usability.

Reports say that the Surface Pro 5 will have a fingerprint scanner on the body of the device. The Surface Pro 4 integrated the fingerprint scanner on the keyboard meaning that users would have to shell out extra coin for added security.

Microsoft’s October-slated release of their new Surface Pro will also have a lighter and slimmer design meaning that it will be compact and light enough to carry around. Media reports say that the device will weigh less than 1.76 pounds.

According to Ecumenical News, the new tablets will come in two variations: 12.3-inch display model and a 13.3-inch display model with either a 2738x1824 resolution or with 4K resolution.

The devices will also reportedly come preloaded with Windows 10.1, packing a sixth generation Intel Skylake processor or a seventh generation Cannonlake processor. It will apparently come in 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB RAM variants coupled with 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB internal storage options.

Microsoft has't made an official announcement meaning that all these ‘improvements’ are all speculated as of now. According to media reports the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 will be release sometime in the third quarter of this year (most probably October) expected to be priced around $900 for basic models going up to $1,500 for the highest specifications.
