Originally Answered: Could you provide a complete booklist for the SSC CGL 2018?

Hello,

Whenever one starts preparing for a competitive exam one should start with
previous year questions. Keeping that in mind here are the books that provide
comprehensive previous year questions.

Kiran’s General Awareness, Reasoning, Mathematics and English.

Mathematics by Rakesh Yadav/Abhinay.

English by MB publications.

General Knowledge by Lucent or Arihant (any one)

Once you are done with these,(and when I say done I mean these books should
be by heart) you can Start studying English from Objective General English by
SP Bakshi (you must learn all the vocabularies given in this book) and you can
study Lucent's General English for tier 2 examination.

For mathematics, once you are done with previous year questions, you can
practice from various question sets of different coaching centres (available
online or offline for purchase. Platform's question set are quite good.) You can
also practice from Sarvesh Verma for mains ( only level 1 questions from it as
rest are of CAT level)

Make sure you take weekly mock tests to track your progress. Taking mock test is
a must. All your efforts are futile if you are not taking mock tests.

Best of luck.
