Therefore every candidate is advised to read the syllabus from the notification properly and make the study plan according to it.

Practice Previous Year Question Papers & Attempt Mock Tests
Aspirants are advised to practice the previous year questions paper as much as possible. Through solving the previous year questions you will understand the questions types and their difficulty level. With the previous year questions paper candidates are also recommended to attempt the mock test to overcome the fear. The mock test will also teach you the art of solving the questions within the time limit. Try to give the mock test daily if possible and also analyze the mistake after giving the mock test. For mock tests I will always recommend you to choose the Testbook platform.
There are many other factors like time management, revisions etc. but you will learn these things by practicing. However I always recommend that you keep the limited study materials but revise your notes a lot. Candidates are also advised not to switch the books frequently. Take one book for each section and try to finish it. Many aspirants ask if SSC is tough to clear? I will say no it is not tough if you give time on it and study hard and maintain consistency. At last I will say never give up, try as you can. Because now if you work hard your future will be secure. Good luck for your ssc preparation and make sure to maintain good health as well.
