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 60-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

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. 60 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.

FAQs about SSC GD 2024 Question Paper – 27 Feb 2024 Shift 1 (with Solutions)

What subjects are asked in the SSC GD question paper?
The SSC GD Constable computer-based exam has four parts: General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Knowledge and General Awareness, Elementary Mathematics, and English or Hindi.
What was the purpose of the Intensive Agricultural District Programme?
The Intensive Agricultural District Programme aimed to raise farm output in selected districts by supplying credit, improved seeds, fertilisers and technical guidance together as a package.
Which freedoms are guaranteed under Article 19 of the Indian Constitution?
Article 19 guarantees citizens freedom of speech and expression, peaceful assembly without arms, forming associations, free movement, residence anywhere in India and practising any profession or trade. The right to property was removed from this list by the Forty-fourth Amendment.
How do you find the opposite face of a dice in reasoning questions?
First check that the two views share exactly one visible face and that all their other visible faces are different. Then align the views by reading the remaining faces in the same direction, clockwise or anticlockwise, starting from that common face; faces in matching positions are opposite. If two views share two faces, the remaining unshared faces are opposite each other.
