With the SNAP test around the corner, the preparations for it are in full swing. The General Awareness section in the test is often dreaded by candidates. Having been an examinee of the competitive exam mba, there are few tips that I would like to share with all. The GK section is actually one of the easiest sections to score but the question is how does one do that? There is no one text book that can suffice for this section and definitely no last minute reading that can help you sail through this section. Cracking the GK section with speed to save more time for other more brain cracking questions can be effortlessly done with memory training. The tips you are about to read are memory training tips for the strong willed, the determined and steadfast willing to endure a slow paced constant life to achieve the maximum in the easiest section in competitive exams for mba.
The Real Way to Read the Newspaper
A newspaper is one of the simplest tools to fight this section with ease. However, one should be careful about how to read it. For example, a highly recommended English newspaper is the standard edition of the Times of India (TOI). The first front page, the first two pages of the Nation section, the first page of the International section and the headlines of the sports sections are more than enough to give a thorough read. The rest of pages can be scanned for only top bold headlines. Do make sure to glance through the headlines of the entire newspaper. Another highly endorsed newspaper is the Economic Times standard edition assists as a good business news surfer. Again, make sure you read the headlines. Make sure to remember latest appointment of heads, changes of heads of institutions and organizations and other major changes of policy changes and documents.
Note the News
News picked up from any medium, be it, major newspapers, radio, business magazines, snippets from libraries that one visits and other smaller mediums should be noted on a notepad or maybe even on your phone for a quick note down. The reason why one should note it down personally is because writing things down always makes it better to remember easily. That’s a trick that was taught in school, but well a tip remains a tip to be used even at later stages in life.
TV Is Not That Big an Idiot Box, Radio can be used too
The television can be used as a real high utility medium to gain the correct type of knowledge. Check with your cable operator for channels like Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha to watch sessions that are extremely valuable. National and regional state channels offer programs targeted at competitive exam students for general knowledge and awareness. From other mainstream channels the debates held on channels like NDTV 24X7, Times Now and CNN-IBN offer insightful sessions that are visually impactful on the mind helping to decipher the real democratic machinery and its latest happenings in India. The All India Radio (AIR) has evening sessions specially aimed for their competitive exam student listeners. Mobile applications of newspapers can be downloaded in case you wish to cover the GK section while travelling.
