Look for the previous year GA Questions 

Now, it’s obvious previous year questions aren’t relevant but reading them will give you the idea of type of question asked, and most importantly it will communicate the difficulty level.

Choose the Relevant Reference Books as per the Syllabus 

The No.1 book for the 2021-22 general awareness section is “General Knowledge 2022 by Manohar Pandey (Arihant Publications”.) 

It is a fine book for covering most of the syllabus of the RRB PO/Clerk Mains GA. The mentioned book is a legitimate source of static GK topics along with recent current affairs. The book is appropriate for the topics mentioned below:

• Static GK 
• Awards and Honours 
• Who’s Who 
• Science – Inventions and Discoveries 

Banking Awareness Book by Arihant Publications 

Don’t miss out on this one as it is one of the few books available which solely focuses on the preparation of banking awareness from examination perspective. Avoid getting stuck only on static and current affairs. Banking GA is highly important as ample questions are asked in the mains exam.

Why Regular Reading and GK Videos work? 

If you are regular at reading good newspaper articles and good GK videos daily then you will have a better recollection. Current affairs or news discussed on Monday will get repeated in newspapers on some other day with its update. People who only read pdfs every 15 days or prepare monthly will never have this advantage.  

So, is it not too much to focus on Current affairs daily? 

Regular newspaper reading is a must. But yes, don’t spend too much time on current affairs from other sources. A total of 15-20 minutes daily is more than enough. Otherwise, you will miss out on other subjects.  

Conclusion

The time period might be short but that is applicable, and not just to you. So, make the best out of all the time available to you at the moment. You will have to be very direct and strict with your preparation approach. A single day delay would also bring disappointment.
