Preparation Tips
Since the entire paper revolves around a single GK and current affairs section, treat it as a high-scoring opportunity. Consistently follow a reliable current affairs monthly digest and dedicate at least 30 minutes daily to Bihar-specific news. Use mock tests to build speed—aim to complete 100 questions comfortably within the 2-hour limit, and answer every question because there is no penalty for wrong attempts. Finally, revise static topics through short notes and maps, especially those connecting national movements with Bihar’s freedom struggle.
