• Make a schedule for SSC preparation for all topics.

• Compare and contrast the topic’s history, and jot down some key facts and figures.
• It would help if you gave yourself at least one month to practice typing tests and skill tests.
• Practice on as many SSC mock test papers as you can. At least two papers must be completed.
• Take a look at the SSC previous year’s question papers from the last five months and try to solve them.
