I scored a perfect 135/135 and 50/50 in English. Here are my resources and strategy for Beginners.

https://preview.redd.it/23ksww9stfbh1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f8ebe5aa272846e9bc113f52ca94f309430f0fa

Here are my recent scores for reference:

  • SSC CGL Mains 2025: 135/135
  • SSC CHSL Pre 2025: 50/50
  • SSC CGL Pre: 45/50

1. Grammar (Start Here)

According to me, beginners should always start with building a strong foundation in grammar. Here is how I did it:

  • Core Concepts: I used Aman Sir’s paid batch to complete my syllabus.
  • Immediate Practice: Right after finishing a chapter, I solved chapter-wise questions and gave sectional tests to lock in the concepts.
  • Book Practice: Once the basics were clear, I practiced mixed questions from books like Kiran, Pinnacle, or Aman Sir's book.
  • Deep Understanding: After finishing Aman Sir's videos, I highly recommend the Qeng YouTube channel. It is brilliant for deep understanding and high-level practice.
  • Mock Tests: For overall practice and speed, rely entirely on Testbook.

2. Vocabulary

Vocabulary takes time, so consistency is the key.

  • Primary Source: I followed the Kiran publication book.
  • Daily Target: I did exactly 25 questions daily. Do not just memorize the answers; learn the words and their exact meanings.
  • Coverage: Make sure you complete all the chapters: One Word Substitution (OWS), Synonyms, Antonyms, and Idioms & Phrases.
  • Retention Trick: Read relevant articles daily. When you see the words you just memorized being used in actual sentences, you will never forget them.

3. Reading Comprehension

This section tests your understanding, and you cannot master it without a daily reading habit.

  • Daily Routine: I followed the English Madhyam website. They provide free daily editorials along with tests based on them. Do this religiously.
  • Extra Reading: To build a better reading habit, read articles in English newspapers or even NCERT books if you find newspapers too difficult initially.

Once you are done with all these three pillars (Grammar, Vocab, RC), scoring perfect marks in English is purely a game of practice and mock tests. Keep analyzing your mistakes.

If you still have any doubts or need help with your preparation, feel free to drop a comment or DM me. All the best!

Talked with a GST inspector. He said even if you get a good rank. Chances of getting Jaipur in Jaipur zone is zero. Because vaha pe rank se nahi. Approach se posting milta hai. I feel bad after listening to this.

Pehle to GST inspector ki rank lao.

Fir Jaipur zone ki rank.

And then usme bhi dhang se posting nahi milti. Waah

Iam a Bca graduate with already a gap year. I appeared for cuet pg but didn't find a good college.

I genuinely don't know if I should go for the college I got even though it has no on campus placement. Or should I go for CGL path.

English Mocks Getting Unnecessarily Tough? (Testbook, Olive, RBE, etc

Is it just me, or have English sections in recent mocks become unnecessarily difficult?

I’ve been attempting mocks from platforms like Testbook, Oliveboard, RBE, etc., and the English feels overloaded , especially RCs and para based questions. The passages are extremely lengthy, packed with heavy philosophical vocabulary, and even the answer options are long and complex.

Honestly, at times it feels like the admins are just asking CHATGPT to generate the hardest possible paragraph with maximum vocab rather than something aligned with actual SSC CGL standards.

Earlier english felt like a scoring section where 15 minutes was more than enough. Now, even after giving proper time, comprehension itself becomes a task. The length + vocab density makes it hard to process quickly. :(

And one more genuine question. .. are these RCs closer to Bank po level english? (I have never appeared for a Bank exam )

How to study quant? And manage time for all subjects?

I want to learn quant but don't know from where. Other subjects are pretty good but quant is very weak like 10-15 out of 50 range.
