How to Increase Attempts in SSC CGL
More attempts help only when accuracy stays strong. Blindly attempting every question can reduce marks because of negative marking.
The right way is to solve easy questions faster and skip traps earlier.
Who this is for
This page is for aspirants whose accuracy is decent but attempt count stays low in mocks.
Practical action plan
- Use a first pass for easy and direct questions.
- Set a hard time limit for long Quant and puzzle questions.
- Do not revisit every skipped question; revisit only solvable marked questions.
- Practise 15-minute sectional sets to build speed safely.
What to do next
| Focus | Action |
|---|---|
| Easy questions | Solve immediately and save time |
| Medium questions | Attempt after quick calculation check |
| Hard questions | Mark only if clearly solvable |
| Review | Return in final minutes, not mid-section |
