Six months can look like plenty of time on a calendar and very little time when you open the syllabus. If that is where you are, start smaller. You do not need a perfect timetable tonight. You need to know your starting point and what you will study tomorrow.
This is a planning guide, not a promise of a particular score. Use the current SSC notice and syllabus for the examination you are taking; patterns and requirements can change.
First, find out what needs your time
Try a mixed practice set without looking at solutions. Record which questions you could solve, which you understood but solved slowly, and which felt unfamiliar. These are three different problems. Giving all three the same treatment wastes time.
For example, if you understand percentages but keep making calculation errors, another long introductory lecture may not help. A short calculation drill followed by careful review is a better next session. If you cannot set up the equation at all, go back to the concept.
Months one and two: make the basics usable
Choose a small number of resources and finish the relevant chapters. After a concept lesson, solve a few questions without the example in front of you. Being able to follow a solution is useful; being able to start one yourself is the test.
Give English and general awareness a regular place in your week. They are easy to postpone when mathematics takes longer than expected. A short, consistent slot is more useful than an ambitious weekend pile you rarely finish.
At the end of the week, revisit questions you got wrong. If the same mistake appears again, write one sentence about the rule or decision you missed.
Months three and four: connect knowledge with the clock
Add timed topic sets once you can solve the basics. Start with a time limit that lets you think clearly, then practise the pace required by your examination. Rushing through unfamiliar methods usually teaches you to repeat mistakes faster.
Mix older topics into new practice. A chapter is not finished simply because you completed it once. In a mixed set, you must first recognise which method applies, and that recognition needs practice too.
Months five and six: use mocks to make decisions
A mock should leave you with a next step. Review wrong answers, slow correct answers and guesses that happened to work. Ask why you selected a question, how long you stayed with it, and what would make you leave it earlier next time.
Choose two improvements for the next attempt. “Check units before calculating” is actionable. “Be more careful” usually is not. Leave enough time between mocks to work on those improvements.
A timetable for an ordinary, imperfect day
If you have two hours, you might spend 45 minutes on a weak concept, 30 on practice, 25 on English or awareness, and 20 reviewing mistakes. Adjust that split to your needs. It is an example, not a rule.
On a difficult day, keep a smaller version: revise one rule and solve five questions. Missing a planned session does not require abandoning the week. Resume with the next manageable task instead of trying to repay every missed hour at once.
Your first step today
Write down your weakest topic, select one short set, and schedule its review. You can use Topic Tests for focused practice or Mock Tests to check how the subjects come together. Keep a record of what changes between attempts. That record is more useful than comparing your timetable with somebody else's.
