SSC MTS Time Management Tips during Exam

Now lets have a look at some Time Management Tips that will be of a huge help to you while appearing for SSC MTS Tier I.

The SSC MTS Tier I Paper is worth 150 marks but you have only 120 minutes to solve it. This gives you 0.8 minutes per question i.e. 48 seconds. If we deduct 5

minutes for switching between the questions and 15 minutes to preview & read the question paper, you are left with 80 minutes to solve 150 questions.  If you nd out

how to manage your time well, half the work is already done.

Some important points to keep in mind while writing the exam:

The Tier I paper lasts only 120 minutes. Intense focus is needed to get you through this paper.

Know your strengths and weaknesses before you go in for the exam. Attempt the questions that you know you can sail through. The exam is no time for you to

experiment.

Do not get attached to any question. Solving a di cult question would fetch you the same marks as a easy ones. So invest your time in questions that are worth it.

Else drop them.

Do not waste time rewriting questions on the rough sheet. Use the rough sheet only for calculations.

Save any di cult questions for the end. Do not invest any time on questions you know you are not sure of.

Assign time to each question and stick to it. Drop a question if it is taking much longer than your assigned time-per-question.Assign time to each question and stick

to it.

Forget about the question you dropped. You are going to lose marks if you obsess over dropped questions.

SSC MTS Time Management Tips as per Subject

The Question – to – Time ration is less than 1. i.e. You can only take 1 minute to solve just 1 question. Thus, skip all the time consuming questions and do them

later.

Before solving questions from Quant section, read the question carefully and decide whether  this question is worth solving in the limited time you have or not.

Apply your own strategies when you need.

If you are stronger in one subject, e.g. General Awareness, then allot less time for General Awareness and use the time for di cult subjects like Quant.

Questions in the Reasoning and Quant sections can be time consuming. Identify the short ones and comprehension questions without too many calculations and

attempt those rst.

So you need to attempt su cient number of questions in each section.

Also, please don’t forget about 0.25 negative marking for each wrong answer.

You do not have to attempt all 150 questions.

SSC MTS Time Management Tips during Preparation

Also, while dividing time among sections during preparation one should keep in mind the following:

Data Analysis and Interpretation is calculation intensive and therefore requires rigorous practice.

Reasoning can only be strengthened with regular practice.

Grammar needs practice. Thus, spending time solving grammar exercises and practicing writing skills is a good idea.

Go through lists of frequently used words and phrases to strengthen your vocabulary.

Memorize your formulae beforehand.

Remember solving techniques for Quant and LR.

Read Newspapers and GK Capsules daily for General Awareness.

Keep notes of GK Questions handy, to keep revising it from time to time.
