The syllabus looks huge, and reading every single page will only waste your time. To clear the CBT 1 exam easily, you must know a big secret: the railway board asks maximum questions from just a few specific chapters.

General Awareness (40 Marks) &#8211; The Game Changer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>General Awareness carries the highest marks. But it is like an ocean. Students make the mistake of reading thick history books. Our previous year analysis shows that the examiner mostly asks about Science and Current Affairs. Here is the exact weightage of topics you must focus on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>General Awareness Topics<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Expected Questions<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Study Priority<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>General Science (Physics, Chemistry, Bio)<\/strong><\/td><td>10 to 12 Questions<\/td><td><strong>Very High<\/strong> (Read NCERT)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Current Affairs (Sports, Awards, Schemes)<\/strong><\/td><td>8 to 10 Questions<\/td><td><strong>Very High<\/strong> (Last 8 months)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Static GK (Dances, Books, First in India)<\/strong><\/td><td>6 to 8 Questions<\/td><td><strong>High<\/strong> (Memorize tables)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Indian Polity (Articles &amp; Constitution)<\/strong><\/td><td>4 to 5 Questions<\/td><td><strong>Medium<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>History &amp; Geography<\/strong><\/td><td>5 to 6 Questions<\/td><td><strong>Low<\/strong> (Do not read deep)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Simple Tip:<\/strong> Do not waste hours reading newspapers.

Mathematics (30 Marks) &#8211; The Rank Decider<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Maths, the Railway examiner loves basic Arithmetic. They do not ask very hard IIT-level geometry. They just want to see if your calculation speed is fast. Here are the highest weightage topics for Maths:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Mathematics Topics<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Expected Questions<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Study Priority<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Number System, Simplification &amp; BODMAS<\/strong><\/td><td>5 to 7 Questions<\/td><td><strong>Very High<\/strong> (Score fast)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Time, Work, Speed &amp; Distance<\/strong><\/td><td>4 to 5 Questions<\/td><td><strong>Very High<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Percentage, Profit-Loss &amp; Discount<\/strong><\/td><td>4 to 5 Questions<\/td><td><strong>High<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>SI &amp; CI (Simple &amp; Compound Interest)<\/strong><\/td><td>2 to 3 Questions<\/td><td><strong>High<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Mensuration (Area &amp; Volume) &amp; Geometry<\/strong><\/td><td>3 to 4 Questions<\/td><td><strong>Medium<\/strong> (Learn formulas only)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Statistics (Mean, Median, Mode)<\/strong><\/td><td>1 to 2 Questions<\/td><td><strong>Medium<\/strong> (Free marks)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Trigonometry &amp; Algebra<\/strong><\/td><td>2 to 3 Questions<\/td><td><strong>Low<\/strong> (Basic level only)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Simple Tip:<\/strong> The Number System and Simplification chapters give you the most free marks.

General Intelligence &amp; Reasoning (30 Marks) &#8211; Free Marks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reasoning is the easiest subject in the RRB NTPC exam. If you practice daily, you can easily score 28+ marks out of 30. The railway board repeats the exact same puzzle patterns every year. Here is what the previous year&#8217;s analysis tells us to study:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Reasoning Topics<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Expected Questions<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Study Priority<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Coding-Decoding &amp; Analogy<\/strong><\/td><td>5 to 7 Questions<\/td><td><strong>Very High<\/strong> (Alphabet numbers)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Number &amp; Alphabet Series<\/strong><\/td><td>4 to 5 Questions<\/td><td><strong>Very High<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Statement &amp; Conclusion \/ Syllogism<\/strong><\/td><td>4 to 5 Questions<\/td><td><strong>High<\/strong> (Needs logic)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Blood Relations &amp; Direction Sense<\/strong><\/td><td>3 to 4 Questions<\/td><td><strong>High<\/strong> (Draw on paper)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Venn Diagrams<\/strong><\/td><td>2 to 3 Questions<\/td><td><strong>Medium<\/strong> (Very easy)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Mathematical Operations (Signs change)<\/strong><\/td><td>2 to 3 Questions<\/td><td><strong>Medium<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Non-Verbal (Mirror images, Paper cutting)<\/strong><\/td><td>1 to 2 Questions<\/td><td><strong>Low<\/strong> (Usually very less asked)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Simple Tip:<\/strong> To solve coding-decoding fast, you must memorize the exact number of every English letter (like A is 1, T is 20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Use This Analysis in Your Final Days?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know the most important topics, do not open page 1 of your book.

Do not spend money; just sit in a quiet room every Sunday and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/railway-rrb-ntpc-test-series\/?ref=15506\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Take a Free Full-Length Mock Test Here<\/a>]<\/strong>: Feel the real exam pressure, check your All-India rank, and find out your weak topics today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearing the RRB NTPC CBT 1 is not about hard work; it is purely about smart work.
