ANALYSE YOUR PERFORMANCE

General knowledge

2.1. Static: With 33 questions on static, there is an even divide between static and

current GK, the difficulty is fairly high, with breeze questions such as World Bank and Palk Strait and also some bouncers like Opium, etc; out of 33, a good static score in this section would be anywhere above 15 since some of the questions like dates and the geographical ones are common knowledge.

2.2. Current: Extremely easy current section, with 17 questions that are picked directly from the newspaper. A brief daily reading of the newspaper or a monthly reading of the compendiums (speaking from experience) would easily fetch a score of

12+ for the average student who is not very regular with the news, 10 is the bare minimum. Anything below 9 is cause for concern as far as current affairs is the matter.
