You can do these things to prepare seriously:
Relax: One of the best things to do. People are posting questions should I leave my job to prepare for SSC CGL. And Which coaching I should join to clear SSC CGL. I mean, that's ridiculous. It's not CAT, UPSC or IIT JEE for which you have to leave your job or get enrolled in some kind of course. If you are from ISC/ICSE board then English is going to be a calk walk for you. Maths, the level that comes in the exam is a decent one. Highly somber. Waking up early or sleeping late at night should be your way to manage your time. Manage you day: Time management is very important. You need time to do you papers, revision, cram vocabulary words and the most cumbersome part : cramming GK. So for all these things you need to manage your time according to your weaker, Okay and strong areas. You'll have to disturb your nights for SSC CGL. Yes! That's true!
Internet Support: This is where coaching vanishes off. I would share my experience here. Go through Textbook blogs and GradeStack blogs. They have the best (don't trust me, go and check) compilation of GK notes and daily and chapter-wise quizzes.
Vocabulary: If it's your weak part, you'll have to work on it, because it gives you free marks. It is asked so directly that it takes 1 to 2 secs to answer and 2 marks in 1 sec is a big deal. Saves your time for a lot of other questions to answer.
Grammar: Grab your ISC board friends 12th class grammar book and read it like a novel. There are several rules hidden on each and every page. It gives you a list of all phrasal verbs, preposition phrases and many things. Its authors are Joseph and Myall. At least I used it for my preparation.
Previous Years Papers: Please take this part very seriously. You have to buy a practise book to do papers daily or you can buy previous year papers directly. This helps a lot. By this, you will get a gist of the pattern of the paper. Its simple and tough areas and then you can direct your studies accordingly.
General Awareness: This is the most gruesome part of the entire exam (for boys especially). This takes your whole testosterone to jot down everything and just cram. A complete no way out for boys. I mean cramming has always been a girl task, girls are far better than boys in cramming things. We boys are best in understanding things logically, but sorry you have to do this dirty job now.
