Current Affairs — How to Prepare & Score — Practice

Question 1

For IBPS PO Mains, current-affairs questions are drawn mostly from which period?
(a) The last 2 years  (b) The last 4–6 months  (c) Only the exam month  (d) The last 10 years

Accepted Answer

IBPS current affairs concentrates on the last 4–6 months, weighted to the most recent 2–3.

Answer: (b). Static GK/banking has no such window — prepare it separately.

Question 2

Under the revised syllabus, which current-affairs category deserves the most weight?
(a) Sports  (b) Obituaries  (c) Banking, finance & RBI circulars  (d) Book–author pairs

Accepted Answer

The section explicitly names 'Digital & Financial Awareness including RBI circulars', making banking & finance the top-yield bucket.

Answer: (c).

Question 3

The most effective sourcing strategy is:
(a) Ten news feeds skimmed once  (b) One daily digest + RBI/PIB + one monthly compilation, revised in loops  (c) Only the exam-month capsule  (d) Social media headlines

Accepted Answer

One consistent daily source plus RBI/PIB plus a monthly compilation, revised repeatedly, beats scattered breadth.

Answer: (b).

Question 4

The best way to store an appointment fact is:
(a) Just the person's name  (b) Person + role + institution together  (c) Only the date  (d) The person's photo

Accepted Answer

Store person, role and institution as one chunk — a question can test any of the three.

Answer: (b).

Question 5

Which revision approach retains current affairs best?
(a) Read each item once  (b) Cram everything the night before  (c) Spaced review at 3 days, 7 days, then before Mains  (d) Only self-test, never read

Accepted Answer

Spaced repetition (3 → 7 days → pre-Mains) with periodic self-testing gives the strongest retention.

Answer: (c).

Question 6

Which is a near-certain interview question that current-affairs prep should cover?
(a) A syllogism  (b) The current repo rate and last RBI policy move  (c) A DI caselet  (d) A seating puzzle

Accepted Answer

Panels routinely ask the current repo rate, a recent RBI decision and a recent scheme — prepare CA as interview talking points too.

Answer: (b).
