Now let’s have a look at some Time Management Tips that will be of a huge help to you while appearing for SSC MTS Tier I.
The SSC MTS Tier I Paper is worth 100 marks but you have only 90 minutes to solve it. This gives you 0.9 minutes per question i.e. 54 seconds. If you find out how to manage your time well, half the work is already done.
Some important points to keep in mind while writing the exam:
  • The Tier I paper lasts only 90 minutes. Intense focus is needed to get you through this paper.
  • Know your strengths and weaknesses before you go in for the exam. Attempt the questions that you know you can sail through. The exam is no time for you to experiment.
  • Do not get attached to any question. Solving a difficult question would fetch you the same marks as a easy ones. So invest your time in questions that are worth it. Else drop them.
  • Do not waste time rewriting questions on the rough sheet. Use the rough sheet only for calculations.
  • Save any difficult questions for the end. Do not invest any time on questions you know you are not sure of.
  • Assign time to each question and stick to it. Drop a question if it is taking much longer than your assigned time-per-question.Assign time to each question and stick to it.
  • Forget about the question you dropped. You are going to lose marks if you obsess over dropped questions.

SSC MTS Time Management Tips as per Subject

  • Before solving questions from Quant section, read the question carefully and decide whether  this question is worth solving in the limited time you have or not.
  • Apply your own strategies when you need.
    • If you are stronger in one subject, e.g. General Awareness, then allot less time for General Awareness and use the time for difficult subjects like Quant.
    • Questions in the Reasoning and Quant sections can be time consuming. Identify the short ones and comprehension questions without too many calculations and attempt those first.
    • So you need to attempt sufficient number of questions in each section.
  • Also, please don’t forget about 0.25 negative marking for each wrong answer.
  • Practically it is not possible to attempt all the 100 questions. So choose the Qs which are easier & lass time consuming at starting & then go for moderate level Qs & if time left then solve difficult Qs.
