How to approach General Studies Paper-II (CSAT)

       Genera Studies Paper-II (CSAT)

After the change in syllabus and introduction of CSAT,  the second paper comprises General Mental Ability and Reasoning. In  Genera Mental Ability, the total number of questions have shown a fluctuating trend with a perpetual increase in difficulty levels. Moreover, the questions are being asked from hitherto less expected areas, and this has made the preparation more difficult. Of late, the chapter on Probability has also become important.

For dealing with Comprehension and Reasoning questions, one should resort to proper practice of previous years' question papers and model questions, which are generally sufficient to score well in these areas.
     Many questions are of complex nature, forcing students to think about it. Reverse engineering is the best method to solve them in minimum time. The most important fact to remember is that this paper is of qualifying nature and candidates are expected to score a minimum of 33% marks in this paper. If a candidate fails to score this minimum marks, then he/she is not considered for selection at all.
