Tips to remember important days for competitive exams
Remembering all dates may seem heavy, but some smart tricks can make the task easier:
1. Dates by group subjects
Classify important days in classes such as health, science, environment and national events. For example: Health Day- 7 April (World Health Day), 17 April (World Hemophilia Day), 25 April (World Malaria Day)
2. Create mnemonics or storyline
Create a memory chain that combines date and events logically. This technique works well when the days come together.
3. Use flashcards and daily modifications
Prepare digital or physical flashcards on one side and event/theme on the other side. Go through them daily for quick memory.
4. Practice with mock test and quiz
Use the quiz and monthly general awareness compilation of daily current affairs to test the date and retention of related information.
