introduction
Competitive exams are meant for real-men and women. This is no country for crybabies, kids, college teens and no0bs. So first of all, you must get rid of the following loser mindsets: 1. Yaar this maths is so hard, I cant do it. 2. Im not from science/engineering background hence this is not my cup of tea. 3. Im poor in maths and I cannot improve. 4. Thik hai, dekh lenge. (alright, Ill see). Maths is not difficult. All it requires is concept clarity + lot of practice. In SSC-CGL exam, youve to face Mathematics at two stages

http://mrunal.org/2012/04/aptitudecompound-interest-rate.html Not asked as such. But Sometimes a question or two comes in the Reasoning portion of Tier-I. Hence not much attention necessary. But again, they too can be solved without mugging up formulas: go through various articles on www.Mrunal.org/aptitude Lately SSC has started Tier I and II. But they can be

2. Combination 3. Probability

Misc.
Again, rarely asked in SSC. Sometimes a question or two comes in the Reasoning 2. Progression: Arithmetic+ Geometry portion of Tier-I. Basically you just have to plug in the values in formulas. Basics of Arithmetic progression explained in NCERT Class 10 Chap 5.

The 2012s Tier-I paper, is trend-breaker. Because 1. The conventional questions from ratio-proportion, basic maths, time-speed-work are asked for namesake only. 2. Otherwise, Out of 50 Maths questions in tier-I, almost 30 questions are from just Geometry+Trig+Percentage application. 3. Earlier, they used to ask mostly area-volumeperimeter type questions from Geometry segment. You just had to plug-in values into the formulas and get the answer. 4. But This 2012s paper has mostly theory based geometry (angle, bisector, tangent, inequality of triangles etc.) 5. Similarly the difficulty level of algebra, number theory based questions is bit raised. Or perhaps SSC too decided to employ the BackbreakingTM move of UPSC! Anyways, jokes apart, the

Here too, Geometry+Trigonometry have been given emphasis like never before. Almost 65% of the paper is made up of Geometry, Trig, Percentage and Algebra (and in that too, mostly Quadratic equations.)
#2: Practice
Merely knowing the concepts or formulas wont help. Because unless you practice different variety of questions, you wont become proficient in applying those concepts flawlessly in the actual-exam. Second, despite knowing concept and formulas, people make silly mistakes either in calculation or in pluging the values. Third reason- Tier I has 200 questions in 120 limits. =not even 2 minutes per question. Plus, questions reasoning and comprehension might take more than 5 minutes! Therefore speed is essential. Since there is negative marking system, accuracy also matters. So it is beyond doubt that you have to practice

excimer number of questions at home. The question is where to get the practice? Which book should be used for SSC exam?

3. Reasoning (Verbal, Non-Verbal) 4. English vocabularly, grammar and comprehension. How do they differ from each other?= number of questions, difficulty level and inclusion / exclusion of particular subtopics. So when youre picking up books for the first time, you should choose the books, that have universal usefulness for similar exams. That way your time, effort and money will be saved.

6. If youre already good at basic concepts, use this book for practicing and improving your speed, else dont bother, there are better books in market.

Author
R.S.Agarwal
Sarvesh Quantum CAT (Arihant) Fast Track Objective Arithmetic (Arihant) Kumar Rajesh Verma
The point is, both books of Arihant Publication (Sarvesh or Rajesh) are way better than R.S.Agarwal, in terms of content, presentation, language and coverage, without being too expensive than R.S.Agarwals book. And both of them have universal application for almost all of the competitive exams in India (for maths segment). My advice, go with either Rajesh Verma or Sarvesh Kumar. Then the question, which one to pick up?

The size and price factor goes in favor of this book. Concepts, techqniues, readymade formulas given here and there. Language, presentation is lucid. Algebra, quadratic equation and Trigonometry specific chapters are given for exclusively for SSC. If you solve all the sums of this book, Although book is written for CAT and Management exams, he starts explaining everything from basics. Then exercises are divided into Introductory<level 1<Level 2<Final round, based on difficulty level. Thus it becomes ideal choice for any aptitude exam. So for lower level exams (SSC/IBPS), you should solve all his solved examples, then introductory exercises, finally level 1.

then mathematics portion of SSC-CGL (Tier-I and II) will be as easy as a walk in the park.
Function, graphs, Quadratic While it is excellent for SSC, IBPS, UGC, LIC, CDS etc. level exams, its utility starts diminishing as you move towards higher-end exams. equations, Geometry, Permutation-CombinationProbability coverage is Thorough. (Hell even more sums than Arun Sharmas). This make it ideal text-book for CAT/CMAT and other higher end exams.
^But merely getting either of these books, is not going to make you a topper. If you want to become truly invincible for the maths portion of any competitive exam, then you must practice maximum numbers of questions at home and maintain a diary of mistakes. This concludes how to approach Mathematics/Quantiative Aptitude for SSC-CGL exam. Now only two topics remain (will be discussed later, in separate articles): 1. How to approach Logical Reasoning 2. How to approach English vocabulary, grammar and comprehension

Hi Guys, Its nice you are sharing your concerns/experience through these blogs. I m too preparing for 2014 and i have my math concept cleared and need a good practice set book for practicing further. I have joined Paramount weekly test series but i guess papers are too easy then that we gone give in exam so any other test series suggests will be beneficial to me. I have seen Kirans practice sets its too big and i am preferring only good quality unsolved/solved practice sets so anybody can suggest me any book. If possible revert me on my id: pantherapardusine@gmail.com Regs.
