How to do well in General Knowledge of IBA-JU admission test

   "Do you know, in IBA-JU admission test (written), 10 marks which means 13% marks is from General Knowledge???...."😎
   "What!!!???..."
At this point, some people may exclaim with joy as they are good in GK and some will start shivering thinking about a nightmare as they have little skill in this area.😀😀😀

If you are in the second group, tie your seat-belt. Because this blog can upgrade your GK to next level, if you can follow the tips.😉

But if you are in first group, don't be so confident before reading to the end. Because in IBA-JU admission test, GK Part includes Business Related Questions which are not likely to come in normal GK tests!😈


At first, I will tell you some tips for doing well in GK.😁

1. Develop interest : Hey, do you enjoy planting a fight between your friends??? Do you like the dramas where characters fight each other, do plotting and conspiracy??? Then watch the world, you may find politics interesting!!!😈 Watch the news of cold war between White House (Markin Presidential Residence) & Kremlin (Russian Presidential Residence)!!!! Give it a try!!! You may find India-Pakistan clash interesting too...... Wait!!!! I'M JUST JOKING!!!😂😁😎  I neither support Political or International Clashes nor like those. I'm just trying to raise your interest in current affairs or history. Don't you find stories interesting??? Come on, most of the people like stories. Take history as stories. Develope your interest in Current Affairs and History, this will definitely boost up your GK skill. And remember one thing, if you read something interesting, it is more likely that you may memorize it more easily.

2. Build your base first : Some says, read current affairs, watch news, read newspaper to do well in GK tests.Yes, those will help you, but I think those are not for the beginners. At first you need a base. Then you can build castle.
Read a General Knowledge book first. That will be your base. Because you may find recent things in news, but it will not cover majority of GK questions. You need to know history, you need to know the names of former presidents, historical characters, you need to know highest, longest, smallest, largest, first, last, only etc. etc. So read a good information-packed GK book first.

3. Read Current Affairs Based Magazines: I think reading a current affairs based magazine every month is more useful and less time-consuming than listening to news or reading newspapers. If you do so, you have the base (GK book knowledge) and also the advanced part (Knowledge of Current Affairs).

4. Can't Remember What You Have Read??? Play GK games, compete with your GK-interested friends. Ask them what you read, try to answer their question. It's a powerful trick to remember GK. 

5. Try to take part in GK competitions

Now, it's time for Business Related GK questions which are important for IBA-JU admission test. 😁

Science & Arts group students, don't panic. You won't feel any problem although you are not a commerce-background student. These questions are actually GK. 
Example:
1. Which is the first foreign commercial bank of Bangladesh?
2. Which is the largest bank of Bangladesh?
3. Who is the president of IMF?
4. 'Parachute Coconut Oil' is a product of which company?
5. Yahoo was sold to which company?

Some are common sense questions. 
Example:
1. Communication with customers is under which department of a company?
(answer: marketing)

Some you have read in the school in Economics part of  'Social Science' or 'Bangladesh & Global Studies' subject. 
Example:
1. How many kinds of Banks are there?

So don't afraid. Read GK books, current affairs based magazines and read a Jahangirnagar University G Unit Special Guide for Business Related GKs.
