Because how you prepare is what you’re going to achieve. some mistakes along the line can cost you an arm and a leg and score high, it’s crucial to be aware of them.

A proper understanding of the exam pattern and syllabus can be a significant setback. It’s impossible to make a proper strategy to crack the exam, unless you are aware of the sections, modules, marking scheme, and duration for each section. So, ransack them over and over again so that they are etched in your memory.
Failing to manage time effectively can inflict great losses in competitive exams like SSC CGL. It’s important to practice learning to allocate time for each question. Avoid spending too much time on a single question, which can lead to incomplete sections or rushing through the rest of the paper. Practice solving questions within the time limits to improve your speed and accuracy.
When a candidate is not well acquainted with the question patterns and finds themselves in unfamiliar terrain, they are at a loss. And then it takes a lot of time to understand and solve a simple question. And still, there is the chance to make a mistake. That’s why for the smooth navigation through the exam, it’s imperative to familiarize yourself with all kinds of question patterns.
This is one of the common reasons for making the silliest mistakes during the exam. The moment students come to know about their mistakes they are left gaping incredulously. Often, they are left so devastated that it takes time to recover again. Hence it is advisable to go over all the instructions very carefully, twice or thrice and completely assimilate the pattern before you proceed to answer the question.
A weak foundation can cost a bomb during the exam. Avoiding fundamental concepts and learning only shortcuts and tricks can be extremely detrimental. It will lead to the inability to answer a different concept and solve the problem by applying the concept. If you are preparing for the SSC CGL Exam, make sure you have a strong foundation in topics such as arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and English grammar. Revise and practice these concepts regularly.
A Mental Preparation & Mock Test can go a long way. Avoiding it will land you in the exam unprepared and feeling like having a second-fiddle role in the exam among other contenders. Taking regular mock tests improves the student regarding time allocation, handling the exam situations with ease, attempting different questions and so forth.
Solving the previous year’s question paper not only helps a student to understand the topics and questions but also helps you assess and pinpoint their strengths & weaknesses. Try to answer as many questions as possible. It will lay a strong foundation for your preparation.
Lack of revision is another mistake that makes you pay the price when you come across a certain question that you have already covered during preparation. And suddenly you don’t remember the concept or definition or suchlike things. Hence, to retain whatever you’ve read, it’s important to keep revising it.
Nothing can be more half-witted than making random guesses during the exam when there is a scheme of negative marking. However, this is another mistake that candidates often make when they come in unprepared. Panicking and making wild guesses is a sure way to failure. Avoid it at all costs.
