The questions can relate to What, When, Where, How and Why of the article. Make your own notes and keep revising them until one day before the exam. For eg. if you are studying the topic Bank Recapitalization you should be able to answer the below questions:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What is Bank Recapitalization?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When was the last Bank Recapitalization done?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How is Bank Recapitalization done?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why is Bank Recapitalization done?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t forget to revise abbreviations as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s the right time to revise static GK. The benefit of static GK over current affairs is that there isn\u2019t much variation in their scope and answers when compared to current affairs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have a look at the past years\u2019 papers to get an idea of questions asked in the past years. Ensure that you are updated on the below topics:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Important Articles in the Indian Constitution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bharat Ratna Award Winners<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chief Ministers, Governors, and CJIs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Important Acts of the Banking Sector<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Indian Missiles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stadiums in India<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Indian Nobel Prize Winners<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>State Symbols of India<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bird Sanctuaries in India<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/sbi-clerk\/?ref=9884\">Take SBI Clerk Free Mock Test<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should start your revision with static GK and then move towards current affairs. That\u2019s all for now! We hope these tips will put you on an informed platform and help you crack SBI Prelims &amp; Mains. All the best for your exam!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article provides useful tips and strategies for preparing the general awareness section of the SBI Clerk
