A realistic, structured 6-month plan covering all 4 sections with weekly goals, daily routine, mock test cadence, and revision cycles.
This plan assumes 6–8 hours of focused study per day. Adjust intensity to your schedule, but keep the ratio between sections roughly constant.
Goal: Cover 70% of syllabus across all 4 sections.
Daily routine: Quant: 2 hours (one chapter + 40 problems) Reasoning: 1.5 hours (2 topics + 30 problems) English: 1.5 hours (vocab + grammar + 1 RC) GK: 1 hour (current affairs + one subject)
Weekly: Sunday: 1 sectional mock (40-min) + analysis Friday: revision of the week's chapters
Goal: Complete syllabus, build speed.
Quant: Advanced Maths (Geometry, Trigonometry, Mensuration) — 2 hours Reasoning: Puzzles + Seating (high-weight) — 1.5 hours English: Practice-heavy (RC, Cloze, Error) — 1.5 hours GK: Subject-wise depth (Polity, History, Science)
Mocks: One full-length mock every weekend + SSCIntel AI analysis.
Goal: Polish, speed, and weak-topic repair.
Daily: 2 hours quant practice (mixed), 1 hour each other section Mocks every alternate day, full analysis Weekly: revisit the 3 weakest topics identified by AI analysis Last 15 days: only mocks + revision, no new chapters
1. Skipping mocks in Months 1–2. Start early — even bad scores teach you. 2. Ignoring GK until the end. It's 25% of marks and needs daily attention. 3. Collecting too many books. Stick to one reference per section.
