This is very obvious that SSC JE mains exam questions are
repetitive in nature. Hence preparation has to be focused mainly on the
previous year questions. Solve them and revise them again and again. Mark the
important questions which are being asked repetitively. Do not consult too many
books as you will feel less confident after covering little from each book.
·
For design subjects: like
RCC, Steel and some parts of environmental engineering, it’s very essential to
prepare a separate notebook. For each topic like design of beams or design of
slab or column, pick out the standard question from previous year question
which contains all the steps and assumptions. Try to accommodate all the
variations in one single question that may be possible for that topic. For each
topic take one or two questions to cover entire design portion for that topic.
Revise this daily so that the design steps get instilled in your brain.
·
For theoretical questions: Never
skip them during practice of previous year questions. Try to write whatever you
know, then check solved answers and try to write in your words again. Don’t go
for making separate notes for them, the mistake I did during initial phases of
my preparation as that will only consume time. Moreover, theoretical questions
portion is less in the mains exam.
2. Speed:
·
Since mains exam consists of 300 marks and that too in 2 hrs.,
speed plays an important role. During the last 2 months of the exam, I used to
allot time whenever I solved previous year questions by putting a constraint
that I have to solve these many questions within the next 1 hour. This time I
allotted based on the marks of the particular question. This immensely helped
in increasing my speed during the test series I gave and finally the actual
exam.

Accuracy:
·
This bothered me a lot mainly for the subjects like strength of
materials and structural analysis. I followed a simple principle that whichever
question I solved, I used to circle out the mistakes I did in that question
with a red colored pen. Even the formulas which I used to forget I marked them
then and there in the rough copy itself. This served the purpose of short notes
very well as revising them leads to revision of whole question. Moreover, it
saves time for making short notes. Keep in mind to keep this rough copy with
you till the exam.
4. During the exam:
·
First 5 minutes, it is very essential to analyses which 5
questions one is going to attempt out of the 6 questions. For each of the six
questions write how much you are sure of getting e.g., 40/60 and then select
which 5 questions to attempt based on the marks.
·
Start with questions you are very much comfortable with as aim
is to grab as much marks as possible which you are confident of. This will save
time in thinking and increase the confidence also after solving them
completely.
·
Never leave design questions or theoretical questions blank.
Even if you write few steps or the formula you will get partial marking.
Always have confidence in you.
And prerequisite for confidence is hard work and solid preparation. Learn from mistakes. Give
your best to every bit of preparation.
