Merit basis	Tier 1 is qualifying only; final merit is based on Tier 2

Syllabus

• General Intelligence & Reasoning (analogy, classification, coding-decoding, series, syllogism, blood relations, seating arrangement)
• Quantitative Aptitude
• English Language & Comprehension
• General Awareness
• Computer Knowledge and Data Entry Skill Test (Tier 2, qualifying)
• Statistics / Finance & Economics (Tier 2, post-specific)

Why practice SSC CGL on Target1st

• Mock tests aligned to the current sectional-timing Tier 1 format, not outdated overall-timer patterns
• Covers both Tier 1 and Tier 2 style questions so you're not caught off guard at the harder stage
• One flat price unlocks every mock test for CGL — no recurring subscription
• Leaderboard and performance dashboard to track accuracy and weak sections across attempts

Preparation Tips

• Practice strictly within the 15-minute-per-section limit — the new sectional timing punishes candidates who used to rely on shifting time between sections
• Improve accuracy before attempt count — negative marking makes guesswork costly, especially in Tier 2
• Don't postpone Computer Knowledge just because it's qualifying — it's an easy scoring area if prepared early
• If targeting Statistics or Audit posts, start Paper II/III prep alongside the common syllabus, not after
