For SSC CHSL aspirants

A CHSL plan that includes the typing test you keep postponing.

Quant, Reasoning, English, General Awareness — and the skill test that quietly decides selections. Lighthouse Prep schedules all of it.

CHSL looks easier than CGL, and in raw difficulty it is. The maths is 12th-standard level, the English is manageable, the reasoning is straightforward.

What makes CHSL hard is that everyone else finds it manageable too. Cutoffs are high because the paper is easy, which means the exam is decided by accuracy on questions you already know how to do, and by the skill test most people ignore until it is too late.

Lighthouse Prep plans for both.

How it structures CHSL prep

You configure once:

  • Target tier and exam date
  • Daily study hours you genuinely have
  • Your weaker sections
  • Whether you're also preparing for CGL or another SSC exam

The AI plan builds a daily schedule across Quant, Reasoning, English, General Awareness, descriptive writing and typing practice.

A typical CHSL study day

  • Quant block — one topic: percentages, averages, ratios, mensuration, simple DI.
  • Reasoning block — series, analogy, classification, or a non-verbal topic.
  • English — grammar, error spotting, cloze test, vocabulary in short frequent sessions.
  • General Awareness — 20–30 minutes, static plus current affairs, resurfacing automatically.
  • Typing practice — 10–15 minutes, every day, tracked like any other session.
  • Timed set — a fixed number of questions against a clock, once or twice a week.

Why accuracy matters more than difficulty here

In an exam where most candidates can solve most questions, marks are lost to careless errors and to time spent second-guessing, not to hard problems.

The planner schedules timed sectional practice separately from learning, so you can see across weeks whether your accuracy under pressure is improving. That number moves cutoffs far more than covering another topic does.

The typing test decides more selections than people expect

Every year candidates clear Tier 1 and Tier 2 and then lose the post on the skill test, because typing was something they were going to start "after results".

Ten minutes a day, scheduled and tracked from the beginning, removes that risk entirely. The planner treats it as a real session with real time attached, not an afterthought.

Spaced revision for General Awareness

General Awareness is recall, and recall fades. A fact learned in month two is gone by month six unless it comes back.

Lighthouse Prep schedules every GA topic back at 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 21 days and 60 days, so the early work still counts on exam day.

Features for CHSL prep

  • Typing as a daily tracked session — the part everyone postpones.
  • Accuracy-focused timed practice — separate from learning sessions.
  • Descriptive writing tracking — essays and letters counted, not estimated.
  • CGL alongside CHSL — overlapping work counted once, separate targets.
  • Spaced revision — automatic, most valuable for GA.
  • Focus timer — measures real study time, not desk time.
  • Wastage analytics — shows where concentration actually breaks.
  • Lumi AI mentor — explains a method or grammar rule in plain language.

Who this is for

  • School leavers starting CHSL preparation with a long runway
  • Candidates preparing for CHSL and CGL together
  • Repeat candidates who cleared the written stage but lost on the skill test
  • Anyone who studies steadily but has never timed themselves

Frequently asked questions

Does it schedule typing practice?
Yes, as a short daily session. Typing is the part candidates leave until after results, and it is the reason people clear the written stages and still lose the post. Ten focused minutes a day for months beats a panicked fortnight, and the planner keeps it in the rotation.
How is this different from an SSC CGL plan?
CHSL is a 12th-standard level paper, so the maths and English are less demanding but the competition is enormous and the cutoffs are high. That shifts the emphasis from difficult topics to near-perfect accuracy on easy ones, and the plan weights practice accordingly.
I'm preparing for CHSL and CGL together. Does that work?
Yes, and it is sensible — the syllabus overlaps heavily. Create both as separate exams. Shared Quant, Reasoning and English work counts once, while each keeps its own target date, difficulty weighting and skill-test track.
How does it handle the descriptive paper?
Essay and letter writing can be scheduled as a repeating session with a weekly target. The planner tracks how many you have actually written across months, which for most candidates is far fewer than they assume.
I'm still in school or just finished. Is this useful?
Especially then. You have time on your side, which is the single biggest advantage in CHSL, and the most commonly wasted one. A steady daily plan across a year beats intense cramming near the exam.
Is it free?
The core planner, timer and revision system are free.
