Revision Strategy To Prepare For SSC CPO Exam 2024

Now that we know about the marks distribution and also the most important topics that we cannot leave untouched, it's time to start preparing. Because we are revising and are short of time, you can use the following strategy to prepare for SSC CPO in a week.

  • Take half a day for each subject. Divide the 10 hrs each day into different topics you will practice depending on the time you will need for each. Do not skip any chapters in this process. Also make an analysis of which chapters or topics you find tricky or you would like to revise one more time. We know it's less, but you have less time.
     
  • Use the next two days to effectively revise once again the topics which you have analyzed in the last step. Try to take breaks and organize a schedule for the days.
     
  • Now you have three days left. Prepare and solve as many questions from previous year papers and mock test series as you can. And make sure to prepare the questions which have recurred in years. Chances are that the same or a similar question might appear on your paper.
     

And now it's the last day before the exam. Take a break. Try not to force yourself into study on this day as others tend to. Have a relaxed mindset and if you feel like you are missing out on some topic or just some extra practice, try not to study for more than four hours this day. Because it's important to keep your mind relaxed before the exam. Also make sure you get enough sleep to have a relaxed brain when you enter the exam hall.
