Please guide me with the books and online tests for SSC CGL 2017 Tier 1. I have heard of KD Campus and Paramount Academy. Are their books and Test Series good enough? I know most people are busy with UPSC preparation as the prelims is just round the corner, but if you can help me out, I would be very grateful to all of you. Thanks.
I am not appearing for cse this year, focussing solely on ssc this year. You can ask me whatever you want to. I am not taking any coaching so wont be able to help you out there.
Paramaount is a very renouned name for ssc. Their questions for the test series was tougher than ssc examlast year. It would be a good option to avail the test series. Can not comment about kd campus though.

Thanks. I too am not looking for coaching but books. I looked into a few books. Found "From Plinth to Paramount" for English and Advanced Maths by KD Campus.

Cant say about kd book, but paramount wala book is good. Par uske test serues jyada aache hai. Uska set le lijiye aur practice kijiye. Ho jana chahiye.
Online test series testbook k aache hain.
For maths do you want to learn concepts or just for practice(decent maths background)! For practice paramount test series will do. For basics their classroom notes are available in most bookshops in mukharjeenagar, karolbagh, munirka and ber sarai.
I would suggest to fownload some mock tests and try solving them without the time limit first to assess your situation and then only look for the requisite book(time saver).
@Woodpecker Bhai i have decent command over maths but i cant seem to get above 100 in any test series( except the easier ones like gradeup), how to improve and utilize test series. Also people are saying reasoning is easy but i find it extremely tough and time consuming especially in paramount test series.how to improve reasoning. any books for maximum return. cant spend a whole lot of time on ssc as upsc also needs time.Help.

As you say you are good at maths concepts all you need now is to work on your speed which will come from practice. Start by solving marhs section in half an hour half hr for reasoning and then gradually try to increase the speed and reduce the tine spent to 20-22mins.
For reasoning main throng s relaxed brain. Most of the times the answer is right there but in our hurry to jump to the next question we miss it. Specially in ssc exam. To build your base on reasning there is one book by bsc publications for reasoning(blue cover),i forgot the name. You can find it in any bookshop which sells competition books. Try solving the questions without looking at the soluion first. Then mark your progress and understand how your thinking and approach was different from the solution provided how you were wrong where the fault lies. Once you start doing that you will find reasoning much easier than you find today.
@Woodpecker : An out of context q, but can you please tell me what is the prescribed size for image and signature uploading ? Do we have to strictly restrict to 12Kb as given in the instructions ?
