Why and How to Revise
- A proper revision is must either it is UPSC, SSC CGL or IBPS PO - Clerk. As the exams are near, i am sure you are collecting more and more magazines and thinking that I'll complete all of these but these type of plans rarely gives success. so instead buying every magazine, at least go through these revision articles and also your own weapons (notes/regular-books/regular-magazines) because its matter of revision, NOT of collecting new weapons.
- this (below) list is minimum i.e. at least you should know about it.
- I analysed The Hindu and some quality sites and prepare this article. If any topic is left, you can share in comments (you can comment by logging in your Google account). I think this Revision series certainly help you.
