Hello Aspirant,

In CHSL topics covered under Quantitative aptitude are Percentages, Ratio and Proportion, Square roots, Averages, Interest (Simple and Compound), Profit and Loss, Discount, Partnership Business, Mixture and Allegation, Time and distance, Time and work, etc. The carries 50 marks and will have 25 questions to attempt. A negative marking of 0.50 marks will be applicable in the exam.

So if you have a basic knowledge of class 6 to 10 (higher secondary level) , then you can easily prepare. Seems like you are weak at math. there is no other alternative for math section in this exam, you cannot ignore or skip the entire section but you can focus only on simple questions and skip the tough ones to avoid time waste and negative marking. It is not going to be that tough if you practice well. Only daily practice can make you confident, first see the entire QA syllabus and shortlist all the easy topics and focus on those. Practice as many as previous year question papers as possible, and take up daily mock tests. You can very well use a lot of educational apps like gradeup,testbook,unacademy etc to prepare. They explain the concept and provide all the practice material you need.More importantly , these apps and its video lessons will help you learn a lot of tip and short tricks to tackle each type of questions , which will be very time saving during the exam.Find out such online resources or by best reference books for the section and practice, NCERT books can be very helpful to cover basics.  Also since you are worried about math , make sure that you are well prepared for all the other sections.
