The tips and tricks for clearing SSC CGL in 30 days are as follows:

The syllabus is the most important point of examination. There is a lot of examination which are conducted by SSC and the syllabus of all is not the same. Hence, it is important that the students should go through the syllabus in a detailed manner before taking any decision.
Mark you weak and strong points
The students should make a list of weak and strong points and then work on them accordingly. There are a lot of topics in SSC exam which we are familiar with from our school days. Hence it is very important to side-line the topics and then work meticulously on tougher topics.
Create a time table
Time-table is the most important element on SSC or any exam. It helps in sorting the days and then plan it accordingly keeping in mind the subjects and the topics a student has to complete in a given time-frame.
Attempt Mock Test
You cannot ace a competitive examination if you are not well versed with your practice. The students should consider giving a mock test and then verify which section is tough and which is weak in the test. Apart from this, the students should also check the time which they are taking to complete the test as compared to the highest scorer.
