ESIC SSO 2022 Last Minute Tips (Section-Wise)

English Language

The key to successfully clearing the English section is having strong basics. Go through your English notes, and grammar rules and practice a few tests to improve your confidence along with speed and accuracy before the exam.

Quantitative Aptitude

This section will test your speed and accuracy both. Practice  as many questions as you can, especially from percentage, average, simple interest and profit & loss, in these last few days. 

Reasoning Ability

Practice as many tests as you can from logical and analytical reasoning, blood relations, syllogisms, circular seating arrangement, linear seating arrangement, coding-decoding, inequalities etc. This section can be time-consuming and lengthy, therefore, make sure you pick and attempt wisely.

ESIC SSO 2022: How to Attempt the Exam

• Attempt your strongest section first. This will help build your confidence for the remainder of the test. Attempt the more demanding section in the middle as concentration levels tend to peak at that time.
• No blind guesswork. The number of questions you need to attempt cannot be pre-determined as it is a function of the level of difficulty. Just keep a fine balance of accuracy and speed. Remember that there is 1/4^thof negative marking for every wrong answer. Therefore, avoid guesswork as much possible. Accuracy is as important as speed in this exam. Try the elimination method to eliminate 2-3 options before making calculated guesses, and refrain from any blind guesswork.
• Do not get stuck on one question and waste your time. You can always come back to it in case you have time left.
• Remember that you have clear both sectional and overall cut-offs. So, at the start make sure you attempt enough questions on each section and later on focus on clear the overall cut-offs by focusing on the stronger section.

Make a Separate Note

Write the formula, shortcuts, tricks, etc. on a separate paper so that you can quickly go through it before the exam.

Time Management

Time is a crucial factor and it is easy to lose track while writing an exam. This is where your practice will show results. Manage it properly.

Speed and Accuracy

Speed and accuracy is one aspect that would outshine your performance. Practicing daily would help you in this regard. Try to attempt a maximum number of questions with 100% accuracy because, in an exam like this, you cannot afford to lose even one-fourth of your marks.

Read the Question Properly

Understand what is written in the question. Do not hastily skip the question just by looking at it. You might just be able to do it if you read it properly. So, before skipping, read it carefully because sometimes the questions that look difficult, are actually easy to solve, especially Puzzles.
