• 😀 Quantitative aptitude questions were generally easy and can be solved with practice of basic formulas and reasoning.
• 😀 Key geometry topics include Sphere, Cylinder, Pyramid, Surface Area, Volume, Circles, Tangents, Trapezium, and related formulas.
• 😀 Trigonometry basics for right-angled triangles (sin, cos, tan) should be memorized, along with triangle similarity and congruence concepts.
• 😀 Algebra and arithmetic topics such as averages, mixture problems, ratios, percentages, profit & loss, discount, simple and compound interest should be practiced.
• 😀 Time and distance questions often involve relative speed and circular motion, including meeting points and frequency of meetings.
• 😀 Practice multiplication shortcuts, tables 1–20, squares 1–50, cubes 1–30, and cube roots to improve speed in calculations.
• 😀 Partnership and investment problems require understanding the relationship between money, time, and profit share among partners.

Q & A

When and where was the SSC CJL 2025 Tier One exam held?

The exam was held on September 16, 2025, at a well-organized exam center with smooth functioning systems and no issues reported.

How many questions and marks are there in the General Studies (GS) section, and what is the negative marking scheme?

The GS section has 25 questions for a total of 50 marks. Negative marking is 0.5 marks deducted for each wrong answer.

What strategy was used for attempting the different sections of the exam?

The strategy was to attempt GS first (around 5 minutes), then English questions excluding comprehension, leaving comprehension for last, and finally tackling Quantitative reasoning, which was found relatively easy.

Which geometry topics were highlighted as important for the exam?

Important geometry topics included Sphere, Cylinder, Pyramid (surface area and volume), Circles (area, sector, segment), Trapezium properties, and formulas related to common tangents.

What are the key trigonometry concepts mentioned for preparation?

In a right-angled triangle, candidates should remember sin θ, cos θ, and tan θ, along with a table of standard values for quick reference.

Which formulas or concepts in algebra and arithmetic were emphasized?

Candidates should practice averages with new members, mixture and allotment problems, multiplication shortcuts using unit digits, tables 1–20, squares 1–50, cubes 1–30, and cube roots.

What types of questions appear in the time and distance section?

Questions include relative speed problems, circular motion where two persons meet in the same or opposite directions, calculating meeting times, distances, and number of encounters.

What financial mathematics topics are important for the exam?

Important topics include profit and loss, percentage, ratio, discount and market price, simple and compound interest problems, and partnership problems involving multiple partners with different investment times.

What advice is given for handling difficult questions during the exam?

If a question is tough or takes too long, it is advised to skip it and move to the next question, returning later if time permits.

How should one prepare formulas and diagrams for the exam?

Candidates should memorize key formulas, especially for geometry, trigonometry, and circle problems, and practice diagram-based questions frequently to ensure quick recall.

What is the suggested method for solving certain multiplication or elimination-based questions?

One method is to eliminate options using unit digits; even if options are both negative or positive, one can narrow down the correct answer quickly by focusing on key digits.

Which shortcut techniques are recommended for averages and mixture problems?

For averages, focus on changes caused by adding a new member. For mixtures, practice calculating milk and water ratios when external quantities are added to reach a given final ratio.
