SSC CGL Practice — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SSC CGL exam pattern for Tier-I 2026?
SSC CGL Tier-I has 100 questions across 4 sections: General Intelligence & Reasoning (25 Qs), General Awareness (25 Qs), Quantitative Aptitude (25 Qs), and English Comprehension (25 Qs). Duration is 60 minutes. Each correct answer carries +2 marks; each wrong answer deducts 0.5 marks (negative marking).
Is there negative marking in SSC CGL?
Yes. SSC CGL has negative marking of 0.5 marks for every wrong answer in Tier-I. There is no negative marking for skipped/unattempted questions. Our rapid-fire practice sets simulate the exact same −0.5 penalty so you build the right risk-management instinct.
How many questions should I attempt in SSC CGL Tier-I?
Most successful candidates aim for 80–90 correct answers out of 100. Since wrong answers cost 0.5 marks, attempting a question with less than 50% confidence can lower your score. Focus on accuracy over speed: aim for 90%+ accuracy on the questions you attempt.
Which section is easiest to score in SSC CGL Tier-I?
English Comprehension and General Intelligence & Reasoning are considered the highest-scoring sections for prepared candidates. Quantitative Aptitude has more variability — a strong foundation in Percentage, Ratio, and Profit & Loss alone can get you 15–18 marks.
How should I use the rapid-fire practice sets on YourMockTest?
Start with 15-question sets on your weakest section (the AI recommends this automatically). Use the 30s-per-question timer for Tier-I simulation. After each set, review the topic score — if accuracy is below 60%, retry the same section before moving on. Aim for 3 sets per day across different sections.
What is the SSC CGL cut-off for 2025?
The SSC CGL Tier-I cut-off varies by category and year. For General category in 2024, the cut-off was approximately 140–155 marks (out of 200). SC/ST/OBC cut-offs are lower. Use our AI analytics to benchmark your performance against the typical cut-off range.
