Suresolv Reading Guide to Quantitative Aptitude Geometry Problem Solving for SSC CGL, SSC CGL Tier II and other competitive exams
Reading and practice sequence for best results:
- First step: read the Group I tutorials on quick geometry problem solving concepts and techniques with examples.
- Second step: read the Group II application of the geometry techniques for quick solution of problems that are specially selected for highlighting the techniques.
- Third step: practice question sets on SSC CGL preferably in timed mini mock test sessions and score your performance (1 mark for each correct answer, and negative marking of 0.25 for each wrong answer or whatever applicable).
- Fourth step: clearly understand how to solve the questions in the question set from its corresponding solution set. If needed repeat the same question test. Do the same on the next question and solution set pair. This step is necessary as SSC CGL Tier II math needs 100 questions to be answered in 2 hours—not an easy task. Unless you are comfortable in applying the basic techniques, you won't get the desired result from the next and final step of mastering SSC CGL Tier II Geometry problem solving.
- Fifth step: Repeat the Third and Fourth step on question and solution sets for SSC CGL Tier II Geometry.
You should adapt the reading and practice sessions to what is comfortable to you.
Remember,
- You must solve the question sets with timer on.
- Score when the time is over, but don't stop. Carry on solving as many problems as you can in a reasonable time.
- Analyze the problems that you couldn't solve and the problems that you took more time to solve.
- Clear up your weak points from corresponding solution set.
- Repeat the same test, scoring and analysis again.
This is a large and valuable resource. If you properly use it, you won't have any difficulty in answering geometry questions in SSC CGL, SSC CGL Tier II and in competitive exams where quantitative aptitude geometry questions are included.

Group II. Second to read: How to solve difficult geometry problems in a few quick steps
Specially selected problems are solved using powerful geometry problem solving techniques.
- How to solve difficult SSC CGL Geometry problems in a few steps 1
- How to solve difficult SSC CGL Geometry problems in a few steps 2
- How to solve difficult SSC CGL Geometry problems in a few steps 3
- How to solve intriguing SSC CGL level Geometry problem in a few steps 4
Only reading is not enough. You have to go through the problem solving techniques and solve problems from selected question sets and learn from corresponding detailed conceptual solutions. Unless SSC CGL level competence is achieved, one can't get total control on SSC CGL Tier II.
