Staff Selection Commission is going to conduct the Common Graduate Level Examination in 2014. The Tier 1 exam for SSC CGL will be conducted on April 27, 2014 and May 4, 2014.
Coaching centres all over India are providing full courses for the preparation of SSC CGL 2014 but there are lakhs of candidates who can’t afford coaching and prefer to self study. For such candidates, selection of right books is really important to secure good maximum marks possible.
So, today we are sharing the best books available in the market for the preparation of all subjects. These books are helpful for the re-examination of SSC CGL 2013 also(at some centres only).

1) Numerical/Quantitative Aptitude: 100 Questions, 200 Marks, 2 Hours

So, your focus should be more on Mathematics and English language to secure good marks.

Let’s take a look at the Best Books for SSC CGL 2014 below:

A) English Language:

1) General English by Lucent Publications: This is by far the best book available in the market for the preparation of all entrance exams.

C) General Awareness: General Awareness is a very tricky section. No matter how much you prepare for this, still you will find lots of tough questions. So my advice would be to focus on current affairs more, there would be around 10-15 questions of current affairs and for the rest of the part, read one of the books given below.

1) Lucent’s General Knowledge 4th Edition: A comprehensive book that covers an exhaustive range of topics such as History, Geography, Economy, Polity, Science, etc.
