è SSC always repeats the questions, around 50% questions are taken from previous papers of CGL, CHSL, MTS & others ssc exams, CDS, NDS, etc. Please go though all previous year papers.Suggestions -

è Download previous year papers & practice papers from [email protected] practice paper section with solution. Each practice paper contains the questions from various exams like Railway, SSC, UPSC, PCS etc, so these practice papers will be very beneficial for you.

è In GS Section do not try to attempt (Tukka) the question, whose answer you didn’t know due to Negative marking.

è Keep update yourself with 01 year current affairs like person in news (Like CJI, ICC Player of the year, Oscars, Army chiefs etc), Books & Authors, Government schemes, places in news etc. Suppose your exam is on 08th May 2016 than prepare current affairs from April 2015 to April 2016. If you find 01 years current affairs lengthy than prepare the current affairs from the month of notification to the 01 month before the exam dates. 
But in SSC CGL 2014 Tier 1 Exam held on 19 & 26 Oct 2014 they have asked the Current Affair question from July - August 2013, which was strange, may be they have given old prepared paper in CGL 2014 Tier 1 Exam. But in CGL 2016 Tier 1 Exam probably they will ask Current Affairs from January 2016 to April 2016. Click Here to Check Month wise Current Affairs.
