How to Kickstart Your Preparation with Gkbooks
New to the Hub? Follow these three simple steps to make the most of our free resources and accelerate your learning journey.
1. Start with the Basics (All Notes)
If you are a beginner, head over to our All Notes section. We recommend starting with General Science or Indian History. Our notes are designed to be “Easy-to-Digest,” meaning we strip away the fluff and give you the core concepts—perfect for building a strong foundation for exams like SSC or State PSCs.
2. Dive into Visual Learning
Don’t just read—visualize. Look for our Infographics scattered throughout the articles. These are specifically designed for high-speed revision.
- Pro Tip: Save our “Key Differences” infographics (like Plant vs. Animal Cell) to your device for quick viewing 24 hours before your exam.
3. Test Your Knowledge (MCQ Section)
Once you’ve finished a topic, navigate to our MCQ Section. We don’t just give you the answer; we provide detailed explanations. This ensures that even if you get a question wrong, you learn the “Why” behind the correct answer, which is crucial for conceptual exams like the WBCS.
4. Stay Updated with “Trending News”
Competitive exams are shifting towards current-linkage. Check our Current Affairs daily. We link static topics (like a specific National Park) to recent news events, helping you understand how dynamic questions are framed in modern exam papers.
