The General Awareness section is scoring, and yes you can score full 50 marks in it! Those students who are still not able to decode the pattern of the General Awareness section are bound to feel that its syllabus is too vast and therefore, it’s difficult to score in this section. However, if you analyze the GK Section of the SSC CHSL previous year’s paper, you will realize that certain types of questions are repeated almost every year. For example, the first in India, Constitutional articles & amendments, commonly used chemicals, folk dances of India, superlatives, etc. Judging the pattern will make the General Awareness section scoring for each one of you.
Take a quick look into the SSC CHSL Exam Pattern, to have a better understanding of the total marks and marks allotted against each subject:
