SSC CGL 2025 Tier 1 exam has been conducted successfully. As per the official calendar, Tier 2 will be conducted in December 2025. If you have appeared in the Tier 1 exam, then it’s time to start your preparation for the Tier 2 exam. You can start your preparation from the quant section, as this is considered a time-consuming and tough section of the Tier 2 exam. In this blog, we have provided tips and strategies on how to start your quant preparation for SSC CGL Tier 2 exam 2025.
First, Know the SSC CGL Quant Tier 2 Syllabus
Here, we have provided the detailed, systematic Quant syllabus for SSC CGL Tier 2 exam. Go through the syllabus very carefully and categorize topics into two categories: one you have already studied (for tier 1) and one you have not covered yet.
- Topics you have already studied: Most of the topics you have studied during Tier 1 exam preparation. For such topics, start your preparation that matches the level of the Tier 2 exam (which you can check by attempting our free mock test for the Tier 2 exam).
- Topics that are new for you: It may be possible that some topics are new for you (you might have missed during your Tier 1 preparation). For such types of topics, you should start studying them from the beginning. First, understand the basics of those topics, solve questions related to those topics (you can attempt our free topic-wise tests), and try to solve them using shortcuts and tricks (if applicable). Use only those shortcuts the logic of which you understand.
| Topic Area | Subtopics |
|---|---|
| Number Systems | Computation of Whole Number, Decimal and Fractions, Relationship between numbers. |
| Fundamental arithmetical operations | Percentages, Ratio and Proportion, Square roots, Averages, Interest (Simple and Compound), Profit and Loss, Discount, Partnership Business, Mixture and Alligation, Time and distance, Time and work. |
| Algebra | Basic algebraic identities of School Algebra and Elementary surds (simple problems) and Graphs of Linear Equations. |
| Geometry | Familiarity with elementary geometric figures and facts: Triangle and its various kinds of centres, Congruence and similarity of triangles, Circle and its chords, tangents, angles subtended by chords of a circle, common tangents to two or more circles. |
| Mensuration | Triangle, Quadrilaterals, Regular Polygons, Circle, Right Prism, Right Circular Cone, Right Circular Cylinder, Sphere, Hemispheres, Rectangular Parallelepiped, Regular Right Pyramid with triangular or square Base. |
| Trigonometry | Trigonometry, Trigonometric ratios, Complementary angles, Height and distances (simple problems only) Standard Identities like sin2𝜃 + cos2𝜃=1 etc. |
| Statistics and probability | Use of Tables and Graphs: Histogram, Frequency polygon, Bar-diagram, Pie-chart; Measures of central tendency: mean, median, mode, standard deviation; calculation of simple probabilities. |
Evaluate Your Current Preparation Level
Before you start solving questions randomly, you must identify your current preparation level. Take a full-length Tier 2 mock test (you can get one free on PracticeMock). Your score and accuracy will tell you:
- Which topics are your strengths
- Which areas need improvement
- Where you’re losing time or making silly mistakes
Note: Above mentioned things can be evaluated by analyzing the performance report that you will receive after submitting the mock tests.
