About the SSC GD Constable exam
SSC GD Constable is one of the most widely taken government exams in India. Every year lakhs of candidates apply for General Duty posts in the BSF, CISF, CRPF, ITBP and SSB, the Secretariat Security Force (SSF) and Assam Rifles (Rifleman GD), so a planned approach to preparation matters.
ExamForge gives you free, timed practice sets for every written section, with each question in English and Hindi and a worked explanation after you submit. Start with subject-wise sets to build your basics, then move to the full 80-question mock tests to train speed and accuracy. Your first three sets need no signup.
Practice sets here allow one minute per question and do not deduct marks for wrong answers. To rehearse the real paper, aim to finish a full mock test in 60 minutes and score it the SSC way: +2 for a correct answer and −0.25 for a wrong one.
Exam pattern
The Computer Based Examination (CBE) is a single objective paper of 80 questions in four parts. Every question carries 2 marks, and you have 60 minutes for the whole paper.

Preparation tips
Take a mock test every day
With only 60 minutes for 80 questions, speed matters most. Attempt at least one full mock test daily and review every explanation.
Build calculation speed
Learn tables up to 30 and squares up to 50 to get through the mathematics section faster.
Plan current affairs
Cover the last six to eight months, with extra attention to sports and government appointments.
Choose your language carefully
Pick English or Hindi, whichever you are more comfortable in. This section can be very scoring.
Train for the PET early
Start running alongside your written preparation (5 km for men, 1.6 km for women), because the physical stage is demanding.
