Superb Vocabulary Quiz by Centre for SSC Coaching in Delhi
Warm welcome to all our Shishyas
We hope you all are hale and hearty. Today, we shall discuss one thing that we have gathered from years of providing Best SSC CGL Online Coaching Classes to countless students engaged in Govt. Job Preparation across the country. Why are so many students unable to perform well in the English language section?
The fear with English is that it is a foreign language and many are not comfortable with it may be because of their educational background or some psychological barrier against learning this language. But if you really wish to learn English, you have to embrace this language.
For any question in English, you will be able to identify the issue in a jiffy if you follow this approach. Think about your mother tongue, if somebody says something wrong, you can identify the error quickly. Now, the same skill can be developed in English grammar and vocabulary, if you start thinking in English. Once you master this approach, you will be able to identify the mistakes easily.
Okay, so enough of our Guru Gyaan!! Let us move to the quiz that we have brought for you in this set. We have told earlier also that do not focus on your marks in these quizzes, but learn and apply the words in other contexts. That is our main motto through these quizzes.

This is all from our side this time. As we have said time and again, our endeavor is to make your comfortable in what you are supposed to learn so that when you write the examination, you are daring enough to go there and attempt the paper without any apprehension. That comes with practice, confidence and also self-assessment.
The simple thing is that you should know yourself correctly, or else, you will never be able to crack the examinations. If you are good at something, exploit that to fetch marks, on the other hand, if you are not that good at something, hone your skills so that you can get yourself comfortable in that area also.
In that note, we leave you to ponder over what we have discussed above. Learn the words, assimilate the meanings and application. Then come back with more zeal to solve the next quiz. We are coming up with awesome content regularly on Vidyaguru Blog.
Also, we have various courses to ensure your success in the competitive examinations of your choice. Check the courses at Ticket to Success Courses.
All the Best!!
