Introduction
- SSC CGL 2013 was to be held on 14th and 21st April.
- But 14th April exam was cancelled. Now that exam will be held on 19th May 2013. (Hence it is no longer conflicting with SBI PO exam date.) This is not a rumor. This is given on SSC’s Northern Region website click me
- This article contains analysis based on two papers of SSC CGL 2013, held on 21st April (KP series and PJ series) click me to download those papersets.
- Download links for today’s question papers are given in the appendix of this article.
Maths
| type | subtype | KP | PJ |
| Basic | BOSMAS | 1 | 0 |
| Square root | 1 | 1 | |
| Number theory, LCM, HCF, remainder | 0 | 2 | |
| algebra | linear equation | 1 | 1 |
| quadratic equation | 6 | 6 | |
| % | profit loss interest rate etc. | 7 | 6 |
| average, ratio | average | 2 | 2 |
| ratio | 1 | 2 | |
| STD | time and speed (Boat, railway etc.) | 2 | 2 |
| time and work (pipe cisterns etc.) | 3 | 3 | |
| Geometry | Geometry_theory | 8 | 8 |
| Mensuration (Area, volume, perimeter) | 3 | 4 | |
| Coordinate geometry | 1 | 0 | |
| Trigonometry | height-distance | 1 | 1 |
| complimentary angles | 2 | 1 | |
| equation /formula based | 3 | 4 | |
| misc | 1 | 0 | |
| DI | Bar, pie, line, table | 7 | 7 |
| Total | 50 | 50 |
- SSC has continue the trend of last year (=less importance to conventional questions from profit-loss, time-speed, mensuration etc.) and more emphasis on geometry (theory), Trigonometry and algebra
- Roughly 2/3rd of the Maths questions are from Geometry, trigonometry, algebra and Data interpretation (DI) only.
- Although SSC chief remained kept his twitter promise: trigonometry and geometry portion bit easier than last time’s and most of the trigonometry questions could be solved effortlessly by the [Trigonometry] tricks explained on www.Mrunal.org/aptitude
- Usually DI portion contained only one “case” and 5 questions. This time SSC has given multiple DI cases.
Reasoning
| topic | Subtype | KP | PJ |
| series | analogy | 3 | 8 |
| odd pair | 4 | 5 | |
| missing in series | 15 | 8 | |
| dictionary based test | 3 | 3 | |
| subtotal | 25 | 24 | |
| coding | coding-decoding and matrix | 4 | 3 |
| maths symbol based ops | 2 | 4 | |
| subtotal | 6 | 7 | |
| arrangement | direction based tests | 2 | 4 |
| arrangement (weight/height wise) | 1 | 1 | |
| subtotal | 3 | 5 | |
| logic | Statement-conclusion | 1 | 1 |
| syllogism | 1 | 1 | |
| subtotal | 2 | 2 | |
| Non-Verbal | non verbal | 11 | 8 |
| Misc | misc (Venn Diagrams, TSW etc) | 3 | 4 |
| total | 50 | 50 |
- Compared to earlier years, SSC increased the number of non-verbal questions.
- Sitting arrangement (case containing 3-5 question) =absent.
- Otherwise question pattern/difficulty level similar to previous years.
General Awareness / GA-GK
- As usual, GA section was broadly made up of three parts: Static, Science and Crap.
- The message / lesson is clear: when it comes to the GA portion of SSC, don’t waste time chasing trivial current affairs. Because static (polity, history etc.) and science, is where your focus should be.
| Topic | Sub topics | no. of Questions |
| Static | economy | 4 |
| Polity | 3 | |
| History_ancient | 1 | |
| History_modern | 6 | |
| Geography | 4 | |
| Environment biodiversity | 4 | |
| Subtotal | 22 | |
| Science | physics | 4 |
| chemistry | 4 | |
| biology | 8 | |
| Computer,IT | 2 | |
| Subtotal | 18 | |
| Crap | Books | 1 |
| Persons in News | 6 | |
| Misc. | 3 | |
| Subtotal | 10 | |
| Total | 50 |
In PJ and KP series question papers, the GA and English questions were same (only sequence was changed) hence I’ve given only single column for no. of questions.
English
| type | Question | no. of Questions |
| vocab | synonym, Antonym | 6 |
| idioms and phrases | 5 | |
| word substitution | 7 | |
| spelling | 2 | |
| RC | Passages (2) | 10 |
| grammar | sentence correction | 5 |
| sentence improvement | 10 | |
| fill in the blanks | 5 | |
| Total | 50 |
Not much to say, follows the usual pattern / difficulty level of previous years.
