It consists of verbal and non verbal
Maximum time you could spend for this section is 15
If you can maintain accuracy and have the confident to score more than 4 marks in this section, then you can spend even 15 minutes. But keep in mind, that if you can score more than 45 marks alone in this section, you should spend 15 minutes or else manage to spend 10-15 minutes.
Skip the questions that take more time to solve and try to attend questions that you feel easy because anyhow each question carries same
Non verbal takes less time compared to verbal. So attend those questions first, then try attempting verbal and arithmetic based reasoning
During the eschaton, if you have time avoid trying out questions from other sections and better spend those of your precious time for Reasoning section. Because each question from other sections carry the same weightage as this section does but the gain is that if you attend questions in other sections, there is a possibility for you to make a mistake but here in this section you can be confident even if you score one mark for one question that you attend.
Many candidates have a feeling that this is the toughest section to
This section carries around 8% in your SSC CGL Examination i.e., Tier I – 200 marks + Tier II – 400 marks = 600
To make it easier, our RACE Institute has made all possible questions as Circle materials.

Quantitative aptitude is the most important area in the SSC CGL exam and the deciding area for a candidate in the merit
If you are having decent basic concepts of Mathematics, then this section will be your favorite and highest scoring section. We will discuss the SSC CGL Syllabus, books and a bulletproof strategy to crack this section
Smart way to score 35+ in Aptitude
Aptitude section occupies the top spot in terms of the weight-age.
50/200 in Prelims and 200/400 in Mains makes it 250/600 or 67% of your success (or failure) in SSC CGL.
Focus on important topics: List down Important Topics and make sure you study those topics and practice lot of
Focus should be more on topics like Mensuration, Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry, Profit-Loss, Number system, Percentage, Data
Maximum time you spend for this section should be 25
Go Through Previous Year Question Papers: This will help candidates to have an idea of the examination pattern. Aspirants should practice the papers during the revision time so that they can know the time limit and can practice their weak areas. This is one of the best strategy because SSC repeats the same models every year and number of candidates gets through SSC CGL Exam by just solving past 10 year question
R S Agarwal Aptitude: Best book for candidates who are weak in aptitude basics. For Tier
SSC Maths Chapterwise Solved Papers since 1997-till date: It is very important to go through previous years question paper by For Tier I.

S. No | Section | Time to be spend (In minutes) | Marks to be Obtained | ||
1 | Logical reasoning | Minimum | Maximum | Minimum | Maximum |
15 | 18 | 40 | 45+ | ||
2 | General Awareness | 5 | 8 | 25 | 30+ |
3 | Quantitative Aptitude | 18 | 22 | 40 | 45+ |
4 | General English | 10 | 12 | 30 | 40+ |
Total | 48/60 | 60/60 | 135 | 160+ |
Note: We prefer you candidates to take up minimum time for minimum marks & vice- versa. If you take maximum time too, you are advised to score more marks in that specified duration.
Practice with Stopwatch on your side:
For any aspiring SSC candidate, it is a must to keep a stopwatch by their side while preparing. Apart from the tenacity of the questions, what matters is that of the allotted time for solving those questions. One needs to practice so well in the paper, so that he/she can answer most number of questions that too keeping the accuracy factor in mind. This also helps you to improve your time and boosts your confidence just before the examination.
Skip Questions that are troubling much:
There are 100 questions in tier I, and if at any point it is felt by the candidate that a certain question is troubling them much, they should immediately move away from that particular question and try and solve other known ones. Rather than sticking to any particular question, it is advisable to move along.
Mock question papers and practice sets can help the candidates to prepare for the examination effectively. By solving these sets you could have an idea of how many questions you are solving on the given time and try to improve that by applying and innovating newer techniques for solving problems through constant practice. RACE Institute has been conducting number of Mock Tests for this purpose online
Do not go for everything: You certainly don’t want to get in trap of “Getting Everything” under your belt. Thus, you should set a target for yourself while you are preparing for any section and decide how many questions you are going to attempt with accuracy to be on top of anything. You should keep an eye on quality of your answers rather than the quantity as doing this you could also avoid negative markings which can take down your chances of getting.
