Please I want to know How to crack the upsc even wnen I read i used to forget after somedays. Give me tips how to do a syatematic study & what books I should refer for G.K Prelims & Mains
-gaurav, (12/21/2011)
The nature of human being is made like that. Don't worry. First read the subject, you will that you knew full. But you will forget it after one or two days. Then you revise it after one month and you will remember the same for few more days. Then you do the same after 2-3 months, you will remember for week or more. Then if you do the revision, you will remember for month or so. The memory retention goes like that. Every human being has the unique way of learning and remembering the fact and subjects, you have to also follow one other way to retain it memory. Fisr believe in you that you can recall it and remember it Always do recall before going to sleep, the whole day study can be rewinded in 3-5 minutes. Just practice, then , you will teach others "How to memorize the things"
