5 Most Common Mistakes Students Make When Preparing For Exams: CentralGyan



List is here below, plz read and think about the mistakes, you are still doing.

5 Most Common Mistakes Students Make When Preparing For Exams

(1) Why do we like to read 10 types of books on one subject, instead of reading one book for 10 times? Most of the students preparing for civil service or any other competitive exam make their home a library… Success does not come from reading multiple books but from reading a single book for multiple times.


(2) Why do we spend more times on teaching others rather than learning our self? Every day we are seeing a lot of whatsApp group and other social media groups created by competitive students. Why you are wasting your precious time in these time wasting things. My dear friend, your time is valuable… Please don’t waste your energy and resources”!

How To Read Newspaper for Competition Exams – Tips


Reading newspaper is one of the most important parts of the preparations for any competition examination.  In every exam, there is section of current affairs and general knowledge. You can score good marks in current affairs if you read newspapers and magazines regularly.  It is equally important for interviews.

Reading newspaper makes you more confidence as newspaper reading allows you to develop argumentative skills.

Usually Newspapers are thick in size and it is not possible to read the whole newspaper in a one to two hours.  It is not good to invest your half of the day in reading newspaper. So it is up to you to decide which contents you should read regularly for your preparations for competition exam.

You should read at least these topics in detail, because most of the current affairs questions are based on only from these sections.

What to Read

o   Indian and world economy
o   Banking and finance
o   Environment and Science
o   International news
o   Editorial pages (you can left it for banking exams, but will helpful for interviews)
o   Sports

Topics like current political situations, politicians’ fights, local news, news of bollywood, accidents, murders, theft usually are of no use, so it is better to avoid this news.


How to Read

While reading newspaper, you should keep your pen ready and a notebook.  You should mark the difficult words coming in news. You can highlight important news articles and note down it in your notebook.

At the end of the newspaper you should note down the meaning of the words which you are seeing for first time. You should discuss about news to your friends, it will help you to understand the topic better.

Read the Editorial articles watchfully.  An editorial article is gives a good balanced perspective of the topic. These contain good English and can help you in improving your English writing skills and vocabulary.

Financial / banking News section contains business news affecting economy, monetary policies, stock markets, new guidelines issued by regulators (e.g. RBI, SEBI).  This section is of more important for students who are looking for jobs in banks, RBI and financial markets.

Read all other section of news paper carefully because these days sports section has become very important.

Therefore, you should start reading from today itself.  Read only the relevant items which will help you in scoring better rating in your exams.
I will suggest you to read The Hindu and The Indian Express news papers as these contain good material with excellent research work.

Beside this you should read some good websites daily, as these websites do a lot of work for their readers. One of the good website is gktoday and Current Affairs-Gk you can bookmark these sites.
