“Your competition is not with beginners.

It is with those who

are already selected and will again give the exam next year to
improve their rank. So,it is your strategy, hard work and
dedication that will help you sail through”
-AIR 74

GOLDEN RULES FOR

GK/GS/GA
1) Have Faith in yourself and your Hard Work.
2) Don’t run behind covering 100% GS Syllabus . You will end up
frustrating yourself. Run after only 75-80% Syllabus and the rest
will be covered through Mock Test and PYQs
3) For very Imp. and Famous Topics read Theory First and then
jump to PYQs but for not so important topics use “Reverse
Engineering Approach” i.e., Solve PYQs first which will give you a
crystal clear idea of parts of Topic that is being asked by SSC and
then while reading theory afterwards you will easily differentiate
between usable and non-usable content.
4) PYQs are more important than the Topic and Theory itself. I
used Pinnacle PYQ in GS but choice of PYQ Book is all upto you.
Don’t forget to read extra info. given below each question.

IN THIS SMART PDF, I WILL DISCUSS ONLY THOSE 75-80%
TOPICS WHICH WILL HELP YOU SCORE MAXIMUM AND WILL
KEEP YOU IN RELAX MODE.

SCIENCE
Most Scoring and Expected Section as questions asked are highly
repititive in nature.

If you are Science Graduate and have basic knowledge of Science

Subjects, then according to my experience you can directly jump
to PYQs as anything and everything will be covered there
comprehensively.
If you are Non Science Graduate then you need to work on your
Theory part and then move to PYQs. While reading theory, read
chapters in sequential manner and not hop from one chapter to
another without any plan.

_visshhaaal_ cglair74
 PHYSICS
I will suggest you to cover entire Theory of Physics from Lucent
itself as it is more than sufficient. Stick to Lucent only rather
than changing sources. If you face any problem while
understanding topics, you may take help from Youtube Videos.
Avoid making notes of this section. Highlight important parts in
Lucent itself and PYQ Book whichever you are following in the
first go itself so that you don’t face much problem during your
revision time.
IMPORTANT Topics include:
1) SI Units and Measurements
2) Light and Optics
3) Electric Current
4) Discoveries (Only PYQs)
5) Force & Pressure
6) Sound and Waves
7) Gravitation
8) Work & Energy

_visshhaaal_ cglair74
 CHEMISTRY
Non-Science students may find Lucent Theory of Chemistry little
bit tough. So, in that case you can refer to Youtube videos for the
same and then read theory.
Make only selective notes of Chemistry. If you find any new point
of topic then try to accommodate that point in Lucent itself .
Keep on Highlighting important topics and points.

Keep one Periodic Table always on your table while reading

Chemistry. Ek baar Periodic Table ka layout smjhna zaruri hai
bahaut.
IMP Topics include:
1) Chemistry in Everyday Life (Only PYQs)
2) Alloys and Common Names ( Learn on Regular Basis like
Vocab)
3) Periodic Table PYQs(Learn how properties change on going
from left to right and top to bottom or vice-versa)
4) Organic Chemistry( Do PYQs after covering basic theory)
5) Acid, Base & Salts ( Only PYQs are sufficient)

_visshhaaal_ cglair74
6) Metal and Non- Metal ( Theory and then PYQ)
7) Structure of Atom ( Theory is must)
8) Ideal Gas Laws ( Only 5-6 Laws are there like Charles Law,
Boyle’s Law etc. No need of PYQs. Only learn the Laws )

BIOLOGY
Some Lucent Portion of Biology may seem to be little bit boring.
So, i would suggest you to take help of videos that will portray
the diagrams in colorful manner and enhance your interest in
Biology.

No need of making notes. Higlight in Lucent and PYQ Book and if

you find any new point then try to write it in either of the books.

IMP Topics include:

1) Deficiency and Diseases (Only PYQs)
2) Animal Kingdom (Very Imp Topic. Watch Youtube video, Read
Theory and then solve PYQ)
3) Cell (Basic Theory and PYQ)

_visshhaaal_ cglair74
4) Complete Human System like Excretory, Circulatory etc.
Theory is must but PYQ will help you more.
5)Plant Kingdom (Basic Theory and PYQs)
6) Nutrition (Only PYQs)
7) Discoveries and Vaccines (Only PYQs)
8) Enzymes and Hormones (PYQs will be sufficient but i
recommend you to read theory part as well)

_visshhaaal_ cglair74
 POLITY
Most Interesting and 100% Scoring Subject
PYQs of Polity are more than important
Lucent Theory of Polity is more than sufficient
Book of Polity that i found useful other than Lucent was CDS
Arihant Pathfinder

IMP Topics include:

1) ARTICLES (Star Mark this point as many times as you want.
This is very very important. I recommend you to make list of
Articles by yourself in loose A4 Sheets so that you can carry
them with you anywhere you want and revise them and also edit
them easily. I request you not to go for Pdfs atleast for this
particular Topic. Please make your own handwriiten notes.
Question will come surely from this topic in both Pre and
Mains.PYQs are must.

Technique to learn them and solve their PYQs)

_visshhaaal_ cglair74

 GEOGRAPHY
If you love travelling and exploring then you will automatically
like this section. Most interesting section after Polity.
India aur World ka Map to ab tak chipka hi liya hoga apne study
table ke saamne? Nhi chipkaya hai ab tak to ab le aao aur ekdm
study table ke saamne rkho use, maps will make your study of
Geography Section very very very very very easy.
Use only those Youtube Videos which present the topics in
diagrammatic and audio visual format because Theory you can
find everywhere.

IMP Topics include:

1) Continents, Oceans, India Map, India Boundaries and
Neighbouring countries ( Have a look at these topics first and
then read further topics. Try to make your fundamentals rock
solid through these topics. Use Youtube videos wherever
necessary.

_visshhaaal_ cglair74
2) Indian Drainage System ( Star Mark this very Imp Topic. Best
source to cover this topic is through Parcham Classes Free
Youtube Videos and then revise the same through their PDF. I
will also upload the same PDF on my Telegram Channel very
soon and you can use them. If you find any extra point or
tributary of any river while solving PYQs that is not mentioned in
their PDF then do not panic. Just keep on adding extra points in
PDF itself. I did not make notes for this section. But it’s all upto
you.

3) Crops (Rabi/Kharif) (It is very small topic. Finish this topic in

just one page and keep it aside. One question can be highly
expected from this topic)

4) Ramsar Sites( Keep a track on latest addition to this list)

5) National Parks, Wildlife Sanctuary and Tiger & Biosphere

Reserves (You can refer to any Static GK Pdf or Book while
covering this topic but i highly recommend you to use Reverse
Engineering Approach for these topics

6) Solar System (Lucent Theory and then PYQs)

7) Agriculture ( Take a basic overview of this topic from Youtube

Videos and make maximum of 3-4 page notes. Then do PYQs)

8) Mineral and Energy Resources( Acc. to me, only PYQs will help
you excel this topic. Don’t forget to read those 3-4 extra lines
wriiten below every question )

_visshhaaal_ cglair74
9) Mountains ( Watch some animated Youtube video first so that
you gain interest in this topic. Then read Theory and do PYQs

10) Soil, Climate, Rocks, Layers of Atmosphere, Volcano ( These

are very small topics. Lucent will help you cover these topics in
detail. Learn every point of Lucent. PYQs of Climate and Volcano
are also suggested)

HISTORY
Entire History is not boring, Only some portion of History subject
may seem to be boring. But if you read Theory well and indulge
yourself into it then you will automatically gain interest.

Aap CHRONOLOGY samajhiye History mein. Believe me if you

understand Timeline in History, you will be able to solve multiple
PYQs just by Elimination Method.

PYQs are must in History too!!

Use Sticky Notes in History if you find it hard to learn names of

Kings and their Ruling Period. I used Sticky notes too. Paste them
on front area of your study table and read daily.

_visshhaaal_ cglair74
1) Indus Valley Civilisation ( I would not suggest you to read
Lucent for it because its theory is very tough. Instead, watch
Youtube Videos and make your own notes. Learn the name of
Sites, its River, Excavator and Important Features. Supplement it
with PYQS and you will be done)

2) Buddhism and Jainism ( Lucent Theory is more than enough.

Do PYQs too if you have time)

3) Maurya Dynasty (Lucent Theory is enough. But if you find

Lucent Theory tough then you can make your own notes too
through Youtube videos. Do PYQs)

4) Gupta and Vardhana Dynasty (Use Reverse Engineering

Approach)

5) Chola Dynasty (Only PYQs. Also read extra info given below
each question)

6) Delhi Sultanate and Mughals ( Very IMP. Topic. Please

understand Theory very well through Youtube Videos. Make your
own notes from Video and Lucent and then only jump to PYQs)

7) Sikh Gurus ( Only PYQs)

8) Marathas and Vijaynagar Kingdom ( Use Reverse Engineering

Approach)

_visshhaaal_ cglair74
9) Wars and Treaties ( Use Youtube Videos and write all Wars and
Treaties in separate A4 sheets. Consider this topic as important)

10) Governors and Viceroys ( Its sequence wise list is given in

Lucent too but i personally find it boring. So, i suggest you to
look for some PDF that explains this topic in colorful manner.
Please learn all these names only and only in Sequential Manner
else you will trouble yourself. I will also provide Handwriiten
Notes of these that you can use)

11) 1857 Revolt ( Theory and PYQs both are important)

12) Important Congress Sessions ( Table given in Lucent is

enough. Do PYQs also once to gain more confidence)

13) Charter Acts ( Lakshmikant Polity Book 1st Chapter is very

useful for it)

14) Gandhian Era( Very very very very IMP. Topic. Take time and
read this Theory carefully and then do PYQs)

15) Also learn Land Revenue Systems like Mahalwari, Ryotwari

etc. and Socio-Religious Movements and Reformers and Lower
Caste Movements and Organisations ( These are only 1 Page
topics and Lucent is sufficient for all of these topics)

16) Don’t read anything regarding World History. Focus only on

questions that come in Mock Tests.

 MISCELLANEOUS
DO NOT MAKE NOTES OF THESE. Your sole focus should be on
Reading part only.

Only PYQs will help you in multiple topics.

Learn them on daily basis like Vocab

IMP Topics include:

1) Dance, Dancers, Musicians and Instruments (Only PYQs)

2) Festivals ( Only PYQs)

3) National Parks and other related topics already covered in

Geography Section

4) Census 2011 ( Read Theory and Learn points. PYQ not

required. I will also provide its Pdf in my Telegram Channel)

5) Sustainable Development Goals ( Get a print out of these and

learn them through Mnemonic Technique. I will provide Pdf)

_visshhaaal_ cglair74
6) State of Forest Report 2021 ( I will provide Pdf)

7) Sports ( Expect 1-2 questions from this section. Learn Terms,

Specifications and Trophies from Lucent itself or any other
source if you have. Also keep a track on major Sports Events and
their top 5 winners. Don’t read those events which are not much
popular or India is not a part except FIFA and other large
tournaments. Special focus on Khelo India Games etc.)

8) First in India and World ( From Lucent)

9) World Organisations ( From Lucent)

10) Don’t run behind covering Books & Authors as well as

Obituaries, Important Days, Themes etc. because topics like
these will only suck your time and energy. Play Smart

COMPUTER
Only & Only PYQs are more than sufficient. Do only those PYQs
that are asked by TCS. Theory is not important. I did only PYQs
and solved 15 out of 20 questions. Remember that this is only
Qualifying section so don’t spend much time on it. Read
Computer 1 month before Exam. Play Smart

_visshhaaal_ cglair74
 CURRENT AFFAIRS
Don’t run behind Daily Current Affairs

Do only Monthly Current Affairs from any Pdf that you like. But
don’t spend more than one day in reading one month current
affairs because SSC has no fixed timeline of asking current
affairs. They can ask CA of last year as well and you cannot
object them. For Ex. In CGL23 Mains conducted in October 2023
they asked CA from Sept 2022. Play Smart
