According to all previous year question papers, the question paper did not have section wise
questions. It was a consolidated paper of 100 questions with questions from
each section. Moreover, the number of questions in each section was not fixed
at 25, it had a different number of
question from each section. But this year the notification reads as 25
questions from each topic so maybe we can get a different pattern of paper this
year.

It would be unfair to
call the difficulty level of IB ACIO tier 1 to be of same with SSC CGLE tier 1.
If you give a look at the paper you will know, the questions are a bit complicated. There are very few direct questions. Let us
now see in detail how to prepare for each section.

now see in detail how to prepare for each section.
General awareness :
This is the most confusing
and difficult part of the paper. There are very few direct questions. Maximum
questions were indirect and in relation to the
main topic. For example- they won’t ask what S.N. Bose discovered,
rather they ask which of the following scientist a classmate of S.N.Bose was.

This must be making
you clear that merely mugging up of stock gk will
not fetch good result. One has to get into the depth
of topics and at the same time not ignore the related stuff. So how to study the related stuff?

We still have over a month for the
exam. So when you start reading a G.A topic try
reading about the persons or events you came across from Wikipedia and other
sources. You cannot mug them up. It’s
vast. So just visualize those persons and events etc as your real time things
and try remembering them as stories or movie characters etc.

For someone who has
completed UPSC reference books for geography, history,
polity

English:
The English section
needs deep grammar knowledge. So if you have not brushed up your high school
grammar yet, there is still time just go for it. Random
mugging up of idioms, phrases and vocabulary
will not help. As for now, reading
comprehension has not been seen in this exam but we should be ready for short
passages and be able to fetch inference from it. Parts of speech,
pronunciation of letters in different
words should also be paid attention to. Make sure you practice a lot of fill in
the blanks, error corrections and usage of words as different parts of
speech. In previous years few English
questions were seen but this time according to notification 25 English language questions is expected.
