2.Prepare a time table mentioning which subject or topic to be gone through and the specific date.

3.Since your a 10th Class student you need to follow books of NCERT,Goyal Brother's Prakashan of Class 9th and 10th(CBSE and ICSE level).Am sure that thses books will definitely help you in the preparation part.

Well after reading to all of your answers I have understood what I must do. I am in 11th std and I don't actually have a grip over current affairs and G.K. I wanted to know that if I start reading newspapers and magazines then will I be able to perform very well in the Civil exams or am I late in my preparation? My second question is that, do they ask questions about the news which are 5-10years old? I also wanted to know that which current affair books should I read and what all is necessary?
Does vocabulary play a major role in this?
Do I need to be very fluent in English?
What all is needed in a good essay?
These all are my queries, please guide me. Thanks a lot

Best Regards.
