Hi Aspirants,
I am a silent reader of Affairs Cloud , after reading so many success stories here I thought to share my experience and efforts in achieving my target, if this could help any aspirant in some or the other way I’ll be more happy.

Section wise strategy/advice
GK:
Affairs Cloud is more than enough. Rather going for monthly capsule read Affairs Cloud’s daily current affairs section thoroughly and attempt questions based on it and revise them regularly. This section is a game changer.
Quantitative Aptitude:
This section requires daily practice and make sure to practice from different websites and different apps so as to cover each and every type of question. Scoring topics are DATA INTERPRETATION, SIMPLIFICATION/APPROXIMATION, QUADRATIC EQUATIONS, NUMBER SERIES.
Reasoning & English:
The levels of these two sections have been raised to a different level altogether. New types of questions were asked, if concepts are clear one can manage to score well.
Computer:
- Practice as many questions as possible.Make your own strategy after analyzing your weak & strong areas, only your strategy can help you.
- Practice mock test on regular basis.
- Always try to attempt those questions first which comes in a set of five.
- AVOID GUESS WORK because what matter the most is ACCURACY not the number of questions attempted.
Below is the list of some useful apps and websites I used to follow:-
- Affairscloud
- GradeUp
- Adda247
- Bankersadda
After facing all above failures I didn’t quit and motivating myself to achieve desired goal by following below quote
“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up the most certain way to succeed is always to try one more time” (Thomas Alva Edison)
