As the exam date approaches rapidly, effective preparation becomes crucial to tackle its objective-type questions on General Intelligence, Numerical Aptitude, and Reasoning. This article's "SSC MTS Preparation 2026: Final 30 Days Master Plan" provides a structured, day-wise strategy focusing on high-weightage topics, mock tests, and revision techniques to maximize scores. Candidates should prioritize time management and weak areas while staying updated via ssc.gov.in for admit cards and guidelines.
To secure a position on the merit list, candidates must excel in General Awareness and English, as these sections are critical for final ranking. Other sections are qualifying. While General Awareness often leads to average scores, English is the critical subject for significantly boosting overall marks. Prioritizing English in the final phase is very, very important for easier selection.
At this stage, the preparation should shift from studying new theory to dedicated execution and practice. Two primary strategies are outlined, depending on your current revision status.
