Candidates preparing for SSC CGL and Bank PO must have a clear idea of topics that they need to prepare separately. Although, there are few subjects which can be covered for both at the same time. We will give you a brief detail on each subject so you can plan an effective preparation strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">English<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>English is a common subject in both the SSC CGL and Bank PO examinations. Although, the level of English is higher in the Bank PO exam. Candidates don&#8217;t need to prepare separately for both exams, they should just prepare according to the syllabus of Bank PO and SSC CGL will also be covered. After the studies, candidates can attempt mock tests separately for both exams to check the level of their preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Quantitative Aptitude<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In SSC CGL, the syllabus for quantitative aptitude is more vast as compared to the Bank PO. Same as English, candidates don&#8217;t need to prepare quant separately for both exams. For this subject, candidates only need to focus on the syllabus of SSC CGL and they will also be prepared for the Bank PO quant. Although, it is very important to practice previous year&#8217;s papers, to have a better understanding of questions asked in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Logical Reasoning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reasoning can be one of the most scoring sections of any examination. Talking about the reasoning section of Bank PO and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/ssc-cgl\/?ref=contan-ssc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SSC CGL<\/a>, both the exams have vast syllabi and tough questions were seen in the recent question papers. The reasoning syllabus of SSC CGL is vast but the Bank PO exam has a higher level of reasoning questions. So, candidates can target the reasoning section of Bank PO which will also help them in performing their best in the SSC CGL examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General Awareness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The General Awareness section of the Bank PO exam mostly consists of current affairs and recent events. While in SSC CGL this section is vast and consists of questions of history, geography, polity, government schemes, and current affairs. For this candidates need to read the subjects along with the current affairs section. Reading history, polity, and government schemes will be added to the current affairs. These subjects also require equal effort as questions from these subjects are always seen in the SSC CGL question papers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Data Interpretation &amp; Analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Data Interpretation &amp; analysis section is only in the syllabus of the Bank PO examination. Firstly, candidates should have proper and brief knowledge of the particular section. Go through last year&#8217;s question papers to get an idea of the types of questions and their pattern. Daily practice with at least 15 questions to keep the important methods in your mind. There will be negative markings in Bank PO mains so it&#8217;s better to avoid questions you are not sure of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Statistics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Statistics paper only comes in SSC CGL mains and is mandatory for the candidates applying for the post of Junior Statistical Officer. This is a descriptive paper with 100 marks without any kind of negative marking. Candidates need to study the subject deeply and practice answer writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finance and Economics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finance and Economics is also a descriptive paper of SSC CGL&#8217;s main which is mandatory for candidates applying for the post of Assistant Account Officer\/Assistant Audit Officer. Candidates need to study the subject deeply and practice with last year&#8217;s question papers to have a better understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essay and Letter Writing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, SSC changed its exam pattern for SSC CGL.  Different paper of essay and letter writing in the mains has been removed and concluded to only English comprehension of 15 marks. Although, the Bank PO exam still consists of essays and letter writing. Candidates need to practice essay writing and letter writing on the daily basis to enhance their writing skills. Aspirants should practice with the previous year&#8217;s essay topics to have enhanced writing skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Computer Proficiency &amp; Knowledge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Computer Proficiency and Knowledge is a common subjects in both exams. The syllabus for the subject doesn&#8217;t differ much for both exams. Candidates can prepare for computer knowledge through the Computer Knowledge for Competitive Examination by Lucent. This book covers all the basic concepts of computers. Candidates should also practice with the previous year&#8217;s question papers to have a better understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/previous-year-papers\/?ref=contan-bank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">attempt previous year papers for all exams<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Proper_timetable_for_different_subjects\"><\/span>Proper timetable for different subjects<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many different subjects in both exams which need to be prepared separately by the aspirants.
