Though one should prepare well for all the Tiers, yet, Tier I preparation needs special attention.
The SSC CHSL Tier I exam consists of four subjects: General Intelligence & Reasoning, English Language, Quantitative Aptitude, and General Awareness. For SSC CHSL exam preparation, we suggest that you prepare and revise each and every subject. Some tips for each subject are given below:

Develop your reasoning skills for problems based on problem-solving and thinking ability.
Clear Syllogism, analogy, classification, social intelligence, and other concepts.
Understand the tricks to solve seating arrangement and direction-based questions.
Solve previous years' papers to get an idea about the type of questions. Remember, all the questions in this section are data-based, hence, they have to be solved using data, which requires you to think logically.
2. English Language
For English Vocabulary, you must revise all the words you have learned so far and follow them up with daily quizzes. Increase your vocabulary by reading newspapers and make sure you learn at least one new word every day.
For the Grammar section, try to learn all the rules that have been a part of all the previous years' papers. Get at least a proper understanding of basic grammar, especially for the questions on 'English Language and Comprehension'.
Solve as many questions as possible from SSC CHSL's previous years' question papers and check your answers to learn from your mistakes.

Solving problem-based questions takes time, so work on time management.

In the last few days, focus entirely on solving the previous' year papers. Work hard to make your calculations accurate and fast to get ahead in the competition.
