In this article, we will be providing you with the 2nd Week of June 2021 which will cover all the important events from the current affairs perspective.
Some Tips for An Effective Current Affairs Preparation
Read Newspapers- If you want to stay updated on current affairs, reading newspaper is your best bet. Devote 45 mins to 1 hour to reading newspapers and make your own notes. This will also be helpful in improving your reading speed.
Make Your Own Notes– Remember, you should always resort to making your own Current Affairs notes and use the weekly CA PDFs for revision purposes or to cover something which you might have missed.
Revise Regularly– Generally current affairs questions are asked from the past 6-7 months. Now you can’t just mug up the current affairs of 6-7 months in 15-20 days. This is why revising on a regular basis is important.
Take Current Affairs Quizzes- While revision is important, testing your knowledge is equally important. Take CA quizzes to check your knowledge. Also, check the details of the questions which you have skipped or answered incorrectly. These questions may give you some additional information that you might have missed during your preparation.
Let’s now have a look at the Current Affairs of the week which has gone by.
