comprehension method(120 Marks – SSC Mains) then it’seasier to solve PQRS, Cloze Test,

Passage, Fill up the blanks,Sentence Improvement, optionelimination in vocabulary part.

And

If you’re following grammar &vocabulary (80 Marks – SSC Mains),then it’s a guessing game. You hitsometimes and you miss manytimes.

Only English subject can give

you to leapfrogbecause most of the studentsscore more than 170 marks in

Maths (SSC Tier II). So you can’tmake much difference in Maths.

But English make all thedifference (upto 90 marks) andthat’s where success lies.
