Analogy is one of the most important chapters in reasoning out of which several questions are asked, not only in SSC exams but also in other competitive exams. Analogy is to understand and recognize similar and dissimilar relationship among the words or sentences. There are nearly 2-3 questions usually asked in Tier-1 exam of all SSC exams. Analogy is considered the simplest topic by the majority of candidates. However, it totally depends upon the nature and types of analogy.
Break the unknown word
In examination hall, you may stuck in such situation, where you may confront the unfamiliar and strange words, which you have never heard of and never read. In such case, if the word is breakable then split the word and determine the meaning or roots of split words. The candidate should also try and remember something related to word in such a situation.
Logical Understanding
The candidates appearing for SSC exams need to understand the problems logically. To solve the analogy questions, you must be very close and precise in identifying the said relationship between the words, phrases and given short sentences.
Vocabulary
Vocabulary can be improved by reading more English and understanding their meanings. The candidates can use the methods of forming the small and precise sentences to recognize the relationship between words and sentences.
