SSC CGL PREVIOUS PAPERS

Hello students, it is very important that you have an in-depth understanding of the types of questions, difficulty level of questions, important topics and changing pattern of questions, before you start preparing your examination. For this reason, it becomes imperative (very important) that you observe previous year SSC CGL papers. Additionally, solving previous year papers allows you to assess your exam readiness.

Some of the points that you should keep in mind while going through previous year papers are as follows.

  • Identify the important topics from which maximum questions come.
  • Observe the exam pattern- number of sections, number of questions and total marks.
  • Observe the difficulty level of questions from each topics, but keep in mind that the difficulty level can change in the actual examination.
  • Previous year papers only serve as a guideline and should not be the basis of your entire preparation.
  • You must prepare all chapters in the SSC Syllabus and be ready for the toughest questions from each topic.
  • If you notice that certain topics have not been asked in recent years, you should not conclude that the topic will not be asked in the future.
  • Observe the general awareness section carefully to identify core areas important for the SSC examination.
  • If you have already completed your preparation, you should solve the full paper and check whether you are meeting the cut-off of the previous years.
