How to Score High on Competitive Examination GK

by Vidya Guru Coaching Institute
No matter which competitive examination you are preparing for, it is important for you to be aware about the happenings in your immediate surroundings as well as about the happenings around the world. General Knowledge or General Awareness is a vital segment of most competitive exams. So, there is no escaping it; you just can’t wish it away. Here are some tips from SSC coaching classes to improve your general awareness. These tips will provide you with the orientation required to prepare for the GK section in a scientific way.

The Power of Observation
One essential habit candidates should inculcate in them is to watch news every day. Even if you do not have the time to sit in front of the television and watch the entire news hour, try to catch the updates or a simple 5 minute programme. The use of auditory as well as visual senses can help a person memorize facts a lot quicker than just reading them. If you find the news channels to be a stretch, catch some videos online or a documentary on important topics.

Reading
One of the most conventional ways of improving your general knowledge is reading. Be it newspapers, magazines or monthly GK refreshers; make sure you don’t neglect the reading part. Consistent reading keeps you in the right frame of mind; very soon you begin to understand which news items are important from the exam perspective. In due course of time, you get a clear idea of how the exam setters frame GK questions.

Writing
Although it is not expected from everyone to be a creative writer, yet the act of simple note making in itself is a good enough mode of improving the retention of facts. Jotting down the important points can help one analyse the data and segregate vital facts from the given content.

Discussion
Whether you are undergoing IBPS coaching in Delhi or coaching for any other examination, one method of improving memory and general awareness is group discussion.  From taking active part in debates to discussions over a number of issues relating to national and international or social and political importance, all of it will be helpful in making you familiar with the areas of exam relevance. Doing so will help you gain knowledge, experience and information on a particular subject from a variety of perceptions and points of view.

Research
To get a competitive edge over other candidates it is essential that you do enough research to understand the exact exam pattern. Your preparation must be absolutely exam oriented. For such preparation you will have to go through the past year papers and analyze the nature of questions which have been asked previously in the exam. Start preparing along the lines of the previously asked questions; it will definitely give you rich dividends.

Summary
This article takes you through the basic approach you must follow for improving your score on GK when appearing for any competitive exam.If this approach gets supplemented with your hard work, the result will surely be positive.
