Here is the truth about memorizing General Knowledge for competitive exams — passive reading does not create lasting memory. You can read the same fact ten times and still forget it under exam pressure.

Here is what actually creates reliable GK retention:

Read then immediately practice. After reading any GK topic, attempt MCQs on it the same day. This active retrieval process after reading dramatically strengthens memory compared to reading alone.

Use spaced repetition. Revisit the same GK topic after 3 days, then 1 week, then 2 weeks. Each repetition deepens the memory trace. Daily MCQ practice naturally implements this principle.

Connect facts to context. Isolated facts are harder to remember than facts connected to a story or context. When you read about a government scheme, understand its purpose and beneficiaries — not just its name and launch date.

Test yourself daily. Self testing through MCQs is the single most powerful memory building technique identified by learning science research.
