MPPSC SSE 2022 Preparation Tips

Since the syllabus for the MPPSC SSE 2022 exam is vast, candidates need to start preparing for the exam well in advance. Hence, aspirants can follow the following preparation tips to study for the exam.

1. Cover static portion and basics first- Candidates should strengthen their basics first by reading NCERT textbooks up to the 12th standard level and understanding the concepts given in them. The static part of the syllabus is the syllabus that doesn’t change over time, hence, studying it should be your priority.
2. Stay up-to-date with current affairs- Since the MPPSC SSE exam tests the candidate’s knowledge regarding Madhya Pradesh-centric topics, candidates should read newspapers that provide the latest news regarding Madhya Pradesh such as Nayi Duniya, Patrika, Dainik Bhaskar, and most importantly, the Rozgaar Nirmaan newspaper.
3. Keep writing- A major chunk of the syllabus includes Hindi writing skills. Hence, candidates should practice writing various forms of essays, applications, letters, and reports in Hindi. 
4. Solve papers- MPPSC topper Sampada Saraf has said that once you have covered almost every topic under the syllabus, start solving the previous year’s papers two months before the examination. Candidates can also attempt mock and practice tests to understand the exam pattern.
5. Analyze your mistakes- Analyze which questions you have got wrong while solving practice tests and revise that concept again. Ensure that the same mistake doesn’t occur next time.
