I never made any conscious effort to remember current affairs. However, this was the way I studied current affairs.
- I would religiously read the newspaper
- I would read the snippets from insights (sometimes vision)
- I also would refer to some magazines.
By the time I am done with all the three methods, I think all important things would have been covered around three times. The good thing about being regular with the newspaper is that the same thing gets repeated all through the year that you won’t forget it.
If after all this you still forget it, then it would never have been worth remembering in the first place. Leave those marks.
