Some Important Tips to Follow To Score Good Marks In GK-CA

Section In All Exams By Das Sir,Kolkata :


1.Read Newspapers regularly

We all know that Old is Gold, same thing applies here too. We need to make a habit of reading
newspapers regularly. Ill suggest you to read more than one newspaper. It will be better if you read one
newspaper of your mother language, and other of English. Some useful newspapers are The Times of
India, The Hindu, The Telegraph etc. You need to start this habit at least 6 months before the actual
exam that will help you to get access to all the important events of that period of time.

You need to keep an eye on whats happening around you in your country and world as well. Trust me
guys, you will surely find it interesting after several days. We all know that staying updated is always a
good idea, as it will stand you apart from the rest.

2.Read Magazines thoroughly

This is another great option to prepare the subject we are talking about. There are many leading
magazines that focus on current affairs and General Knowledge. You need to buy it from your local
magazine seller, and start reading it thoroughly. These magazines beautifully categorize the articles with
its genres to make it interesting to read on. Some of the useful magazines are Pratiyogita Darpan ,BSC
Chronicle,Pratiyogita Kiran , Renu Etc

Try to read some business magazines and sports magazines too along with a general magazine. This will
increase your chances of cracking the competitive exams with ease. Some useful business magazines are
Business Today, Business Line etc.

3.Follow News Channels

You will need to follow news channels at least once a day. Now most of the leading news channels are
active for 24*7. You need to pick up a suitable time for yourself to watch any favorite news channel of
yours. You can watch ABP News, NDTV, Times Now, ET Now,Zee News etc. Try to go through all the
breaking and highlighted news, and make it a habit.

I know that watching news channels for long will bore you, so Ill suggest you to allocate only 30 minutes
for it in a whole day. All the leading ones shows the glimpses of all important events of the day quite
frequently, so 30 minutes will be enough for you to boost up your current affairs and GK knowledge.

4.Maintain a Diary

My teacher used to tell me that whenever you learn something try to write it down in your diary, as it
will help you to memorize it in a better manner. He is so right, as this method helped me a lot to score
good marks in every exam that I appeared for. As I already mentioned before that a lot of events are
occurring in the country and around the world, so it is easily understandable that it is not easy to
remember everything. Its always a superb idea to maintain a diary of current events.

You need to update this diary on a daily basis with all the events that you consider as important ones.
This diary will become quite useful for the revision part, as it will provide you information about all the
important events at a place. You should keep revising the diary frequently, as it will help you to
memorize important names, dates, awards etc.

5.Channelize your Preparation According To The Pattern Of Exam

All the competitive exams are not same, as all of them have different pattern, even when it come s to the
same topic as Current Affairs or GK. For example for civil services exam, you need to give importance
on events of National value. On the other scenario, in matter of bank job exam, the focus should be on
the news on banking sectors, and economic and business news.

Thus Ill suggest you to prepare as per the exams you are appearing for, as channelizing your preparation
according to the pattern of the exam will accelerate your chance of getting selected.

5.Use Internet Resources

Google, YouTube and Wikipedia are my favorite teachers; one of my friends told me this once. This is
quite true indeed, so you should use all the available online resources to study current affairs and GK for
exams. For example this blog is all about Current Affairs, so you can check this blog regularly by
subscribing to us (check the sidebar for subscription options). You can actively take part some forums
that are focusing on current events. The good part is you can follow the websites of all leading
newspapers online if you dont have enough time to read newspapers.

6.Use Social Networking Sites for Good

Believe me or not you can surely use social networking sites to your benefits. Especially to prepare
current affairs and General knowledge Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and StumbleUpon may help you a
lot. You can join some Facebook pages, or follow some twitter accounts that are related to current
affairs.

7.Give Priority to your Strength

We usually find difficulties when we try to learn everything at once. In that process basically we study a
lot, but remember a little. We need to first select our strength areas for our preparation. Try to give
priority to your strength areas. It may be Sports, economy, Government Affairs or technology. Suppose
you are applying for Bank exams, then you should prepare industry related news. Along with that you
may pick any 2-3 areas of your strength like sports or technology. You need to prepare these sections to
the utmost level. I can assure you that these strategies will help you to score much better in Current
Affairs section.

8.Participate in Online Quizzes

You should participate in some free quizzes that are available online to evaluate yourself. This will give
you proper idea whether you are ready for the big exam day or not. As an added factor it will also
provide you confidence i.e. very much essential.
