GENERAL ABILITY TEST PREPARATION STRATEGY:

---

In Part A of paper I, 60 questions for 100 marks are given to test candidate’s basic ability in English language. Usually candidates are supposed to answer questions on Synonyms, Antonyms, Articles, Prepositions, Spotting errors Comprehension Passages etc. Candidate whose background is from vernacular medium up to intermediate and are from rural areas have to pay enough attention on this section. In Part B of paper I, 60 questions for 100 marks are given to test candidates general ability on Indian history, Geography Indian Politics, Science and Technology, Public Administration, Current Affairs etc. The questions on Current Affairs will have a lion share. Questions on Census, Corporate Governance, Election Commission, World Bank, Terrorism, Recent Environmental summit, formation of new states, Haiti Earthquake, Sports Awards and other latest events and current affairs, are likely to be asked. Questions under Science and Technology may be on Diseases, Vaccines, Agriculture, space research are also important. Previous papers for the last ten years can give you an insight into the nature of questions. Solving old papers can really be helpful for the preparation of this exam. Reading News papers like The Hindu, Times of India every day and making notes on important events and news can be handy to tackle this section
