GENERAL SCIENCE & ABILITY(100)
A)-Revise Maths & General Science books of Class 6,7 & 8.
B)-Read Matric,F.Sc,O & A Levels books of Maths,Biology,Physics,Chemistery And Computer Science.
C)-Solve more and more MCQ's, solve past papers at least last ten years.
D)-watch more and more videos of geography, biology and various other topics on https://www.youtube.com/, https://www.youtube.com/user/khanacademy,https://www.khanacademy.org/ and other educational websites.
GSA from net (howstuffworks.com)+ Imtiaz Shahid Book + Akram Kashmiri + Encarta + Wikipedia.
In my opinion, consult howstuffworks.com as it is a good website for GSA.

E)- Draw Diagrams, Charts, try and give answers in bullets form in GSA paper.
Mostly mistreated part of CSS business. Yes it is true; aspirants generally overlook this paper and give very modest time to this paper.In fact, they are not absolutely wrong but little less smart. Our objective for this paper will be entirely different from rest of our papers.
A close analysis reveals us that GSA papers consist of following pattern based 3 papers (2004, 05 and 06):
Question having Only 1 Marks = 60 questions (6 x questions with 10 parts)
Questions having only 2 Marks =17 Questions (3 questions with average of 5 parts)
Questions having 5 Marks = 5 Question (2 x questions with 2.5 average parts)
Questions having 10 Marks = 3 questions (You have to write a descriptive note on a single topic)
And there are following broad categories
1. Physics = 35 % contribution
2. Chemistry= 20% Contribution
3. Biosciences = 15%
4. Space = 9%
5. Computers = 11%
6. Misc = Rest
So our main area of deliberations should be the MCQs having only one mark and it is advised that attempt all 60 MCQs and since 1 wrong MCQ will only charge you a single mark. If there is tie between 2 question, for example there is a descriptive question about Pollution having total of 10 marks and an MCQ question in you which you only know 5 questions and the rest you don’t know, please go for the sure 5 marks whether you know every thing about pollution. Rationale in the wake of this advice carries the weight of certitude of 5 marks which you will definitely gain and in descriptive questions you can not get beyond 7 marks how exquisitely you have written your answers, and still that is unsure. Then you must go for the questions having 2 marks and then 5 and in the end resort for 10 mark question. Reason yourself in skeptical questions, think cool and never go for blind and wild guess, you are an erudite and smart person and must have an educated guess …….It works.
Now we have to prepare for the test, very simple. Go to the library and get hold of handbooks of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, and a good detailed book on everyday science they have an Index ordered in alphabetically and try to memories and understand them daily every term since you never know which might be in paper.
You should be knowing:
All Scientific Abbreviations from A to Z
All Units from A to Z
All Human parts from A to Z
All big inventions from A to Z
And please never rely on your skills and background knowledge since this is the only paper in which you can make a lot of difference with others. And never plan half but always prepare full. And one thing you must be doing in next hour is the installation of Encarta Encyclopedia in your pc. Pick a subject and discover each and every facet of that topic.
