SCC Recruitment 2012 is for different posts like Assistants, Inspectors, Divisional Accountants, and Compiler etc. for which Graduation from an acknowledged University is the minimum Educational Qualification. So, those students who have applied for this post should keep in mind that this exam is not that easy and also loads of students apply for this post therefore the completion rate increases.

There will be negative marking of 0.25 marks for every wrong answer you give in the Tier I and Tier II Examination. Applicants are, so, advised to keep this in mind while giving the exam. As there are negative marking this exam becomes tougher and because of this many students fail to get selected in this. Negative marking is a catchphrase in SSC Combined Graduate Level Examinations so to minimize the negative marking below are given some tips:
* First of all, don’t guess Blindly, I have seen so many people who believe they are very good at guessing and they depend on it for getting through these exams. But believe me it just doesn't work. Never guess blindly until you are really sure of the answer or else you'll finish up not being shortlisted for the next stage.
* Make appropriate notes to remember important terms, formulas and tricks that you might have derived during your practices. They assist a lot at the time of implementation in the exam hall because due to lack of time it's approximately impossible to think of any new methods to solve those questions.
* However, I support you to take few calculated risks lest when you are not sure of bulk of questions in a particular part. In such a case, if you do not take calculated dangers than you will not cross the doorsill for that section, this will get you eradicated immediately without leaving any hope. You have to make sure that you answer at least 70% questions in every part.

Since there are negative marking you have to be extra careful while answering and the above tips will surely help you out to clear the SSC Combined Graduate Level Examinations.
