How to Prepare for SSC CGL General Awareness in 60 Days
A week-by-week general awareness plan for SSC CGL and CHSL: static GK, polity, history, geography, economy, science, and a daily quiz checkpoint.

SSC CGL general awareness is wide and factual. Sixty days is enough to build a second pass if you already own one standard book. It is not enough to read five books once. The plan below uses one source per subject and a short daily quiz so you notice what you forget.
| Days | Focus | Checkpoint |
|---|---|---|
| 1–10 | Polity: Parts III and IV, Parliament, amendments in the revision table | 20 mixed article-number questions |
| 11–20 | Modern history timeline, 1885–1947, plus one ancient and one medieval chapter you already started | 15 date questions, closed book |
| 21–30 | Rivers, parks, and one physical-geography chapter | Blank map of ten rivers |
| 31–40 | Economy basics and banking types | Define GDP, CPI, repo, CRR without notes |
| 41–50 | Science facts: units, vitamins, common formulae | 25 one-line recalls |
| 51–55 | Current affairs of the last six months, tied to static topics | Ten schemes with the ministry |
| 56–60 | Mixed sets and the questions you missed | Redo only the wrong ones |
Keep a miss log with three columns: the fact, why the wrong option looked right, and the day you will see it again. Days 2, 5, and 12 work well. Do not add a new book in week 8. A mock score is feedback on that paper. It is not a prediction of a cutoff.
