General Awareness (GA) is one of the most scoring yet tricky sections in government exams like SSC, Banking, Railways, and Defence. Unlike Reasoning or Quant, you can't solve GA questions with formulas or shortcuts. It requires a mix of daily awareness, consistent revision, and smart strategy. In this guide, we'll break down exactly how to prepare GA effectively through a detailed and practical roadmap — especially tailored for aspirants using ScoreWithRahul.
📚 What is General Awareness?
General Awareness is a section that tests your knowledge of:
- Current Affairs (national & international)
- Static GK (facts that don't change)
- General Science (basic Physics, Chemistry, Biology)
- Indian History, Geography, Polity, Economy
- Banking & Financial Awareness (for Bank exams)
✅ Why General Awareness is Important?
- Low time, high marks: 25 questions can be done in 5-7 minutes.
- No calculation or rough work.
- Boosts your overall score instantly if prepared well.
- Helps in interviews and descriptive papers.
