How to prepare vocabulary for SSC CGL?

Vocabulary building is a continuous process. You can't just build your vocabulary mere by going through words and that too, just one month before the exam. You need to prepare for vocabulary using the right approach and strategy - which is certainly not mugging up the words!

Here are a few powerful resources to help you build the vocabulary:

1. Regularly use vocabulary.com
If you're aiming a very strong grip on vocabulary, then trust me, vocabulary.com is the only place. The site uses quiz games to help you build a powerful vocabulary. The game is so addicting that while playing you don't even realize that you're also learning new powerful words side by side. And you know what? The best part is that you can't forget these words easily!

2. Complete Word power made easy by Norman Lewis at least once!
Couple vocabulary.com with Word power made easy by Norman Lewis, and you'll have your most powerful weapon against the English section of CGL exam. Even if you can't spare extra time for vocabulary.com, go through this book at least once, you'll be able to do at least 80% of the vocabulary based questions asked in the exam. I bet ;-)

3. Make newspaper reading a habit
As you build your vocabulary, while reading newspapers you'll notice that the words you've learnt frequently appear in newspaper articles and columns. What's the benefit? This will re-enforce what you've already learnt, helping you retain words permanently!

4. Use what you've learnt
Explore the opportunities to use the words that you've learnt, else you're guaranteed to forget them.
This concludes the right strategy to tackle vocabulary in cgl exam...
