The **SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL)** exam is one of India's most competitive gateways to Group B and Group C posts under the central government — from Assistant Section Officer and Income Tax Inspector to Auditor, Accountant and Assistant Audit Officer. With lakhs of graduates applying every year for a limited number of vacancies, selection is decided by **speed, accuracy and nerves** — and those are built only through serious, timed practice. That's exactly what MockG's SSC CGL mock test series is designed for.
## SSC CGL Tier 1 at a glance
Tier 1 is a **Computer Based Exam of 100 questions for 200 marks in 60 minutes**, split equally across four sections:
- **General Intelligence & Reasoning** — 25 questions, 50 marks - **General Awareness** — 25 questions, 50 marks - **Quantitative Aptitude** — 25 questions, 50 marks - **English Comprehension** — 25 questions, 50 marks
There is **negative marking of 0.50 marks** for every wrong answer, so guessing blindly costs you. In just 60 minutes you must attempt 100 questions accurately — which means practising the paper repeatedly is not optional, it's essential.

## How to get the most out of it
Attempt a full mock, then spend **more time analysing it than taking it.** Identify which section eats your time — for most aspirants it's Quant or English comprehension — and fix those weak topics before your next attempt. Track your accuracy so that negative marking works *for* you, not against you. Aspirants who take regular timed mocks consistently finish the real paper faster and with fewer silly mistakes.
The SSC CGL cut-off is tight and every mark counts. The candidates who make the list aren't necessarily those who studied the longest — they're the ones who **practised under real conditions again and again.** Start your first free SSC CGL mock test on MockG today and turn preparation into an All-India rank.
