General science is one of the most important sections in both the exams. This section has the highest time invested to the marks ratio during the exam. Aspirants can get a decent score just by investing a few minutes during the exam. However, it takes quite some time during the preparation phase to revise general science for RRB ALP exam.

The topics tested are from class VI to class X general science topics like economics, physics, chemistry, biology, history and geography.

Therefore, aspirants must develop a habit of going through the newspapers on a regular basis. This will help them greatly in both the general awareness and general science topics.

The weightage for basic sciences like biology, physics and chemistry is more than topics like economics. Therefore, aspirants must go through the NCERT materials for these 3 topics without fail to ensure a decent score in the exam.

How to prepare General studies for RRB ALP exam?

One of the most common mistakes that an aspirant makes is to procrastinate the GS part for a long time. Unlike other sections, the GS section cannot be mastered in a short span. Therefore, aspirants must divide the entire syllabus into manageable chunks. Then, aspirants must try to frame a timetable covering the entire syllabus over a period of time. Doing so will ensure that aspirants do not get burnt out during the preparation process.

Another important aspect that aspirants must incorporate during their preparation is revising the concepts once in a while. Since aspirants will be dealing with a huge amount of information, it is quite natural to forget what one has prepared a week before. Therefore, aspirants must allocate sufficient time to refresh what they have studied at regular intervals so that the concepts stay afresh in their mind.
