Subject-wise Preparation for CGL For (Tier 1+Tier 2), Check

Most exams of this type are built around the following areas. How much each carries is written in the official exam pattern.

• Reasoning: Series, analogy, coding-decoding, direction and blood relations are the usual areas. Short daily sets work better than one long weekly session.
• Quantitative aptitude: Percentage, ratio, average, profit and loss, time and work, and basic geometry. Learn the shortcuts only after the concept is clear.
• English: Reading, grammar, vocabulary and error spotting. One newspaper editorial a day is a good habit.
• General awareness: Static topics once, current affairs every week. Revise your notes instead of collecting new ones.

How to Turn the Official Syllabus into a Study Plan

• Download the latest syllabus PDF from the official link and save it on your phone
• Copy every topic into a notebook or a sheet, one line per topic, with a column for done, revised and tested
• Mark the topics that have appeared often in the previous papers, and study them first
• Check the marking scheme, especially negative marking and sectional time limits, and practise with the same rules
• Re-read the syllabus every month; organisations sometimes revise it between two notices

A Weekly Study Plan for CGL For (Tier 1+Tier 2), Check

A steady plan beats a long and tiring one. Whatever time you have, divide the syllabus into equal parts and give every part a fixed week.

A simple pattern works for most students: study three hours of new topics, one hour of practice questions and half an hour of revision of the earlier day. Increase the time only when this feels easy.

Previous Year Papers and Mock Tests

Start practising old papers early, not in the last week. They show your weak areas while there is still time to work on them.

Keep an error notebook. A weekly look at it removes most repeated mistakes.

Common Mistakes While Preparing

• Collecting many books and finishing none. One standard book per subject and the previous papers are enough to begin
• Studying from an old syllabus. Check the year and the exam name on the PDF you use
• Leaving current affairs for the last month. Read a little every week
• Ignoring the exam pattern. Sectional time limits and negative marking change the way you attempt questions
• Depending on videos only and not writing or solving anything yourself
