How to prepare English for SSC CHSL 2018
The English syllabus for SSC CHSL can be divided into three main segments, which helps you understand how to prepare effectively for this section. These three segments cover the complete English portion you’ll face in the exam. By breaking down the syllabus this way, you can tackle each segment separately and build a strong preparation strategy. Understanding this classification helps you allocate your study time properly and focus on areas that need more attention.
Let’s look at how each segment works and what preparation approach works best for cracking the English section in SSC CHSL. This structured method makes your preparation more organized and less overwhelming, helping you cover everything systematically without missing important topics.
- Grammar: Common Errors, sentence improvement and fill in the blanks are asked where the profound knowledge of English grammar is prerequisite. However, there may be some questions based on vocabulary as well in Common errors, sentence improvement and fill in the blank.
- Vocabulary: Synonym, Antonym, Idioms and One word substitution.
- Reading Comprehension.
Strategy đ Keeping in mind that developing intuition of students towards the subject is the objective so that he could sail through the syllabus without taking it as a burdensome job)
Grammar: Going through a standard book like SP Bakshi multiple times (or class notes if preparing through coaching)
Objective while reading the book/ Notes: Maximum retention and developing the skill so that one can recall the particular law which needs to be applied while reading a mixed problem in which a student doesnât know whether the problem is from noun or pronoun.
For topic wise description and notes of English of SSC
Mnemonics make remembering stuff way easier. Here’s how it works with collective nouns that stay singular – cattle, gentry, peasantry, poultry, people, folk, clergy.
Instead of memorizing a boring list, create one vivid picture. Imagine a peasant driving a cart with a rich gentleman sitting in it, surrounded by cattle and poultry, while folk and clergy watch nearby. This single scene connects all the words together.
Your brain remembers stories and images better than random lists. When exam time comes, just recall that picture and the words flow naturally. Make your mnemonics creative or funny – the weirder, the better it sticks. This technique works for grammar, vocabulary, formulas, dates, basically anything needing long-term retention.Â
Vocabulary: Around 4000 vocabularies have to be developed. Again the mnemonic technique has to be applied for fast learning and better retention. Parsimonious whose meaning is frugal, thrifty can be remembered as Parsi who is frugal. Word Power Made Easy can be used because it explains through etymology which creates a genuine interest in the subject matter.

Idioms: Around 1500.
Prepositions and Phrasal verb: This section requires maximum perseverance from studentâs side. Chances of forgetting them are very high so it requires continual revision. A slot of 30 minutes can be put aside for this purpose till student qualifies the exam.
Reading compression: Speed and comprehension both should be maintained. Scientifically for reading a piece of writing we just need eyes and brain. Therefore avoiding tongue movement, lips movements and reading for gist alone can make the speed and comprehension much better. Apart from that training oneself in reading 3-4 sentences at a time can boost the speed of reading multiple times.
