Shreya Gupta, an Assistant Section Officer in CSS, shares her gratitude for the support received after her first video. She highlights her journey of clearing SSC CGL 2024 and thanks viewers for their positive feedback, while acknowledging and addressing frequently asked questions in video format.
Shreya initially used Kiran's book for Math but realized the need for speed-enhancing tricks. She recommends taking a course from a teacher, specifically mentioning Bhutesh sir's pre and mains batch at e1 coaching center for its crisp content and concise duration. She advises focusing on Tier Two courses for familiar chapters and utilizing provided MCQ PDFs for practice. Calculation quizzes from The Pundits Promocks and other online sources were also used.
Similar to Math, Shreya initially used Kiran's book for Reasoning but found greater benefit in a teacher's explanation of tricks. She recommends Kamal sir's course at e1 coaching center, specifically his YouTube videos and the QRB batch for conceptual understanding and practice. For practice questions, she suggests Pinnacle over Kiran, due to its variety of question types saving time. Notes were made similarly to Math.
For English, Shreya also started with Kiran's book but found additional benefit in structured teaching. She utilized Aman Vashisht Sir's free YouTube playlist and notes for grammar, revising them multiple times. For vocabulary, she relied on the Black Book, focusing on frequently forgotten words. She also took Aman Sir's mains practice batch for extensive practice and previous year questions. She advises a dedicated course for those with weaker English foundations.
Shreya initially found Lucent's book for GK boring. She explored Parcham Classes for videos and notes but found them too vast. She then switched to Parmar SSC, appreciating his repetitive teaching style for better retention. She highlights Parmar Sir's FRB series notes and one-shot videos for last-minute revision. Completing MCQs after each topic is crucial for retention. For current affairs, she advises focusing on monthly summaries from the last two to three months before the exam, recommending Parmar Sir's PDFs.
Shreya started with Test Book mocks but found them too easy, then moved to The Pundits for their varied difficulty levels, including hard mocks, to prepare for all scenarios. She also used weekly live mocks from RBE and Olive Board. She emphasizes The Pundits' mocks for their quality and video solutions. She recommends taking as many quizzes as possible, especially for GK. For English comprehension, she used English Madhyam mocks and Nimisha Bansal's editorials. She also benefited greatly from The Pundits' paid batch for mains, which provides a structured daily timetable and high-quality content.
For computer, she suggests Sachin Arora Sir's lectures and notes from The Pundits. For typing, consistent 15-minute daily practice after the pre-exam is recommended to easily reach desired speeds. Shreya concludes by acknowledging the anxiety and fear many aspirants face, emphasizing that consistency and daily study despite these feelings are key to success. She plans to address more Q&A in a future video, apologizing for potential delays due to her busy training schedule.
