Sources for preparing MCQs
Books (Historical Events/Legends/Personalities etc)
Newspapers (Current dates/statistics/names/heads of states etc)
Magazine/Journals (Same as Newspapers)
Internet (Rest of the information which you don't find in newspapers etc)
Method
Reading alone does not help. At least in my case, it does not suffice in attempting to remember the things. One way to record all the information about current affairs is to write it down in a register. Reserve 2 pages for each category i.e Heads of States (Presidents), Heads of Govt. (Prime Ministers, Foreign Ministers, etc.)
Some of the categories in my Notebook are:
* Organizations (their present secretary generals, dates on which came into existence etc)
* International Miscellaneous Personalities
i.e ISAF Commander, NATO chief, Key Diplomats, etc)
* U.N News (Developments at U.N, resolutions etc)
* National Issues (18/19 amendments, energy projects, etc)
and many more.....
While going through any of the above mentioned sources, when I come across any important date/name/event/etc ... I pause reading/watching for a while and note that down in the register. That's the easiest way.
Later, when I am not studying anything, I pick up that notebook and go page by page reading all the recorded information. It's like developing your own little encyclopedia.
I hope it helps.
All the Best!
