General EPFO SSA Preparation Tips & Strategy

Start Early – Do not procrastinate that you have a lot of time and will prepare later. Considering the level of competition, the earlier you start, the better it is for you. “Starting Earlier” not only means “Start Preparing Now” but it also denotes “Studying in Early Hours of the Day”. It is scientifically proven that our mind is fresh and can grasp more things in the morning. Hence, wake up early to get maximum benefit.

Understand the Pattern & Syllabus – Go through the paper format and detailed syllabus to know the weightage of each section and the demand of exam.

Make a Timetable with an Achievable Goal – It is really important to organize your studies and proceed as per plan. Decide in advance what topics you’ll be completing on a particular day and tick it once you are done.  But the target should be achievable. Don’t jam-pack your schedule with so many topics that you end giving it up the next day. Based on your strong and weak areas, devise a strategy and proceed accordingly. Don’t forget to practice questions of what you have prepared.

Apply Pomodoro Technique – When you sit to study, put a timer of 25 minutes. Study with full concentration for 25 minutes, then take a 5 minutes gap and do anything except studying. Listen to music, have a walk, or do some light exercise because you need to give some rest to your eyes and brain. After this, again study continuously for 25 minutes and repeat the same for 5 minutes. This technique is very effective to improve concentration and learning efficiency.

Practice Online – As the exam will be conducted in online mode, it is important to practice online as well. Remember that Preparation and Practice must go hand in hand. Once you have prepared a topic, go on practicing the Topic Test but in a time-bound manner. You can follow it up with EPFO SSA English Sectional Test to practice all the topics together.
