General Awareness:Questions are designed to test the ability of the candidates general awareness of the environment around him and its application to society. Questions are also designed to test knowledge of current events and of such matters of everyday observation and experience in their scientific aspect as may be expected of an educated person. The test will also include questions relating to India and its neighbouring countries especially pertaining to History, Culture Geography, Economic Scene, General policy and scientific research.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR SSC CHSL EXAM 2013

Follow these steps:1.Gather syllabus for the exam and plan accordingly. find your strong points and sharp them.2.After the syllabus collect all the required study material.3.Follow a routine (means you have to study daily) don't follow a time table it will hard to follow just make sure you cover all the topics in due time.4.3-4 months approx are enough to prepare.5.Try to make your own shortcuts.6.Practice papers (the most important) you have to beat the time there and for this you should increase your speed.

Don't focus on single subject only you have to prepare all of four subjects try to study atleast two of them daily.8. pleasedo not buyanysingle bookwhich covers all the four sections of exam have separate books and separate study material for each section.

IMPORTANT BOOKS FOR SSC CHSL 2013MATHS --- M. TYRAREASONING --- R.S. AGGARWALG.K. ----- LUCENT'SENGLISH ----- R.S. AGGARWAL

special tip for math preparation for maths you have to practice and practice and practice a lot. do all type of questions of each category and make your speed (speed matters) M. TYRAis the best book till date. special tip for G.K. preparation its very hard to score good in general awareness section as the syllabus is so vast so give your time to other sections as much as you can. Do update with current affairs and leav last 2,3 days before the exam to learn g.s from lucent and rest leave on your luck.
