SSC CGL MATHS — MY STUDY ROUTINE

The Goal
Concept → Practice → Revision → Sectional Mocks → Improvement
INVEST IN A RECORDED BATCH
If you study from youtube, you will get distracted from multiple videos.
So its better to invest in a recorded batch
You can study at your own pace.
Bhutesh sir and Aditya ranjan sir are great for students with non maths
background and Abhas saini sir is best when it comes to short tricks
No books required, you just need Testbook pass, it will provide all the previous
year questions in test series.
Don’t just complete lectures. Make sure every topic you study gets revised and practised.
DAILY MATHS ROUTINE
01 — 15 MINUTES CALCULATION
Start your study session with:
15 minutes of NON-STOP calculation practice
Use any mobile application or website
Focus on:
● Addition & subtraction
● Multiplication & division
● Fractions & percentages
● Squares & cubes
● Basic calculations
Goal: Improve calculation speed + accuracy.
⸻
02 — COMPLETE 1–2 LECTURES
For every lecture:
WATCH → PAUSE → SOLVE → CHECK → NOTE
Whenever a question appears in the lecture, pause the video and try solving it yourself
first.
After completing the lecture:
Go through your notes ONCE on the same day.
This helps you retain the concepts instead of simply watching lectures passively.
03 — NEXT-DAY REVISION
Before starting the next lecture:
Spend a few minutes revising the previous lecture.
You can either:
● Quickly revise your notes, OR
● Simply go through the important points once.
Small daily revisions = less pressure later.
⸻
⸻
04 — CHAPTER-WISE PRACTICE
Once you complete a chapter:
10–20 QUESTIONS DAILY
Solve questions from:
● Your lecture notes
● Questions provided in your batch
● Important questions marked during lectures
Don’t leave a completed chapter untouched.
Keep practising it while moving ahead with the syllabus.
WHEN TO START SECTIONAL MOCKS?
Once you complete approximately:
50% OF THE MATHS SYLLABUS
Start giving Maths Sectional Mocks.
MOCK → ANALYSE → IDENTIFY WEAKNESS → REVISE → IMPROVE
Don’t just check your score.
Look at:
● Questions you got wrong
● Questions taking too much time
● Topics you are weak in
● Questions where you made silly mistakes

GOLDEN TIPS
1. MAKE A SEPARATE FORMULA COPY
Maintain one dedicated notebook for:
① Important Formulas
② Short Tricks
③ Special Question Types
④ Difficult Questions + Their Solutions
Keep it short, simple and revision-friendly.
2. Sectional test
Sectional test will improve your Speed and accuracy.
Analyse them and note the questions in your special notebook which you find difficult to solve,
repeatedly asked.
3. WEEKEND = REVISION DAY
Every weekend, revise this special notebook.
Formulas + Tricks + Difficult Questions
This will help you keep important concepts fresh throughout your preparation.
⸻
MOST IMPORTANT RULE
DON’T JUST WATCH LECTURES.
Watching a lecture ≠ completing a chapter.
A chapter is truly complete when you can:
Understand → Solve → Revise → Apply → Perform in a Mock
FOLLOW THE SAME PROCESS FOR THE ENTIRE SYLLABUS.
Consistency > Random long study sessions.
Study smart. Practise daily. Revise regularly. Analyse your mistakes.
