Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 15-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

How the two modes differ
No account needed

Normal

Untimed

Every question on one page, loading as you scroll. Choose an option and see straight away whether it was right.

  • No timer. Nothing to start and nothing to submit. Stop whenever you like.
  • Answered as you choose. Tap an option and it is marked at once, with the correct answer shown.
  • Solutions in place. The explanation, and the video where one has been added, sit under the question.
  • Open to guests. Normal practice needs no sign-in.
Real exam conditions

Simulated

Timed CBT

The computer-based test format: one clock, a question palette, and a score the moment you submit.

  • A clock that does not pause. 15 minutes from the moment you begin, and the paper is submitted for you when it reaches zero.
  • Question palette. Answered, not answered and marked for review, section by section, as the real interface has it.
  • Full screen, proctored. The test takes over the screen; leaving it three times submits the paper.
  • Answers hidden until you submit. The key, the explanations and your score all arrive together at the end.

About this test

SSC CGL 2025 Tier 1 Maths PYQ: 20 Sep Shift 2 Quantitative Aptitude Paper

SSC CGL 2025 Tier 1, 20 September 2025, Shift 2: this set reproduces that paper's Quantitative Aptitude section. Questions range from square roots and partnership to mensuration, coordinate geometry and trigonometric identities. On Aptitude360 every question comes with a full written solution.

What the 20 Sep 2025 Shift 2 Quant section covers

  • Square roots of perfect squares and simplifying surds
  • Partnership with added capital, profit sharing and salary allocation by percentage
  • Compound growth to a multiple of the principal and simple interest for months
  • Speed with a head start, mixtures of oils at different prices, combined filling rates
  • Mensuration: painting surface area, tiling an L-shaped floor, triangle area from three sides, hexagon combinations, prism volume
  • Coordinate geometry: line through two points and the circumcentre of a right triangle
  • Trigonometry: complementary angles and the double-angle identity
  • Number classification, polygon diagonals and shadow proportions

Key formulas and rules for this CGL Maths paper

  • Heron's formula: \( \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} \), \( s=\dfrac{a+b+c}{2} \)
  • Slope through two points: \( m=\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \)
  • Right triangle: circumcentre is the midpoint of the hypotenuse
  • Complementary angles: \( \sin\theta=\cos(90^{\circ}-\theta) \)
  • Double angle: \( \cos 2A=1-2\sin^{2}A \)
  • Compound growth: \( A=P\left(1+\dfrac{r}{100}\right)^{n} \)

How to revise these SSC CGL Quant topics

  • When an amount becomes k times in a fixed period, it becomes k squared times in double that period under compound interest
  • If the sine of one acute angle equals the cosine of another acute angle, the two angles add up to a right angle
  • Split composite floors and shapes into simple rectangles before applying rates or discounts

Who should take this CGL Quant paper

SSC CGL candidates at the practice stage who want to check mensuration, geometry and trigonometry against a real Tier 1 shift.
