Basic % (increase, decreasein consumption,population) Also do NCERT Class 8 Chap 8.

Data-interpretation cases.

Mere extension of % concept. Just practice.For long division, use this approximationmethod:http://mrunal.org/2012/11/aptitude-long-division-two-digit-division-calculation-without-tears-and-without-boring-vedic-speed-maths.html

PCP

1. Permutation2. Combination3. Probability

Not asked as such. But Sometimes a question or two comes in the

“Reasoning” portion of Tier-I. Hence not much attentionnecessary.

But again, they too can be solved without mugging upformulas: go through various articleson www.Mrunal.org/aptitude

Misc.

1. Coordinate Geometry

Lately SSC has started asking 1-2 question in each ofTier I and II. But they can be solved by merely pluggingnumbers in the readymade formulas given in yourQuantitative Aptitude book.

2. Progression: Arithmetic+Geometry

Again, rarely asked in SSC. Sometimes a question or twocomes in the “Reasoning” portion of Tier-I.

Basically you just have to plug in the values in formulas.Basics of Arithmetic progression explained in NCERTClass 10 Chap 5.

3. LogarithmsNot asked.
