Strategy for Maths if u have around 2 months in hand: Step 1: Read the basic theory of a chapter from Sarvesh Kumar (Quantum Cat). Step 2: Read the basic theory of same chapter from Arun Sharma. Step 3: once u go thru basics (1st thru Sarvesh kumar and then thru Arun Sharma), the next logical step is to get exposed to a vast variety of sums. This is where Tyra's Practice Workbook comes into picture. Solve the illustrations (Only the illustrations and not the exercises) of same chapter from "Quicker Maths Practice Workbook by Tyra (BSC Publications)". This one is the thicker of the 2 books on quicker maths by Tyra. In general, people don't follow this book in the right spirit. This book teaches maths the wrong way but with the right tools. Hence, it is the tools we need to borrow from the book, not its approach towards maths in general. So, DON'T follow the 'Formula Approach' elucidated in Tyra's Practice Workbook. Only use the book to get urself acquainted with the vast variety of sums. So u Read a Rule (that book is divided into Rules), and DON'T look at the formula for the rule, but straight away go to the illustration of that rule. u solve that illustration using the basic skills u acquired form Sarvesh and Arun. Step 4: Kiran Chapterwise Maths. Now its time to hone ur skills using the questions already asked in SSC exams. So u practice using Kiran Chapterwise Maths. In this book, questions in every chapter are arranged in a chronological manner. u start from the latest questions and then go backwards in time. For trigonometry, u may follow Mrunal's articles. However, they have limited usage. Hence, its better to go thru NCERT textbook for trigonometry. Though i used to enjoy maths in general, but owing to sub-standard higher secondary schooling i was a dumbo with regard to aptitude questions asked in competitive exams. I reached from 4-5 sums in SSC CGL Prelims maths paper to around 40+ correct sums using the above strategy. though there are a lot more details that can be added, but then again, the onus is on the individual of fine-tuning his/her strategy towards maths. Best Wishes... P.S. the above sequence of steps is very important. It has a reason which one will understand after one completes even a single chapter of aptitude using this approach. And yes as always, this may not be the best way for u. so try it out, use it if u like it, else dump it.
