Welcome to the Halfway Mark: Set-05!
Congratulations! You have successfully completed 4 practice sets. From Set-04 (Reasoning) to History and Polity, you are building a strong foundation. Today, we tackle two vast subjects: Geography (Bhugol) and General Science (Vigyan).
Why this Mix?
In SSC GD, roughly 4-5 questions come from Geography (Indian Rivers, Mountains) and 3-4 questions from Science (Biology, Physics). Together, they constitute about 16-20 Marks.
- Geography: Solar System, Indian Borders, National Parks.
- Science: Vitamins, SI Units, Human Body Facts.
- Target: Try to score 30/40 (Science questions are usually direct).

Many students focus only on Math and Reasoning, ignoring General Awareness (GA). But remember, GA is the section that saves time. You can solve 20 GA questions in just 8 minutes! This Set-05 Mock Test combines Geography and Science to give you a real exam feel.
1. Geography Strategy (Indian Context)
For SSC GD 2026, you don’t need to study World Geography in depth. Focus 90% on Indian Geography. Key areas include:
- Borders: India shares borders with 7 countries. (Bangladesh is the longest).
- Rivers: Origin points of Ganga, Yamuna, Godavari, and Narmada.
- Census 2011: Yes, questions still come from the 2011 Census (Literacy rate, Sex ratio).
For authentic data on India’s profile, always refer to the National Portal of India (Know India). This is the most trusted source for government exams.
2. General Science Cheat Sheet
Biology has the highest weightage in Science. One sure-shot question comes from “Vitamins and Diseases”. Memorize this table:
| Vitamin | Chemical Name | Deficiency Disease |
|---|---|---|
| Vit A | Retinol | Night Blindness |
| Vit B1 | Thiamine | Beri-Beri |
| Vit C | Ascorbic Acid | Scurvy (Bleeding Gums) |
| Vit D | Calciferol | Rickets (Weak Bones) |
| Vit K | Phylloquinone | Non-Clotting of Blood |
3. SI Units (Physics Quick Revision)
Don’t ignore Physics. Simple unit-based questions are bonus marks.
- Force: Newton
- Work/Energy: Joule
- Power: Watt
- Frequency: Hertz
- Resistance: Ohm
