Default How to study and memorize so much for CSS?

The question which irratates me while thinking about CSS in near future is how to study from so much scattered content and how to prepare and arrange information to memorize? Plus there are so much books for each subject and each having some part of syllabus but not more.
So please somebody help me with detailed answer so that I may be able to prepare for it by following right path.
I would be really thankful

I don't think so you should memorize anything
take printout of syllabus don't go beyond limits
clear topic wise make key points which may be helpful to you
divide your study in tasks & bring down upto daily routine as
E.g
pak affairs = 7 days
subdivide it before partition= 4
after partition =3
& again subdivide
this will decrease pressure from your mind it has worked well for me

if you have other theory go for it...!
Pray for me
Regards
Lonewarrior

CSS has never been about memorizing stuff. It's all about your writing skills. Most of the questions just need superficial knowledge and are discussion-based, and how you present your ideas. If you have the best material presented in an incoherent manner, it won't bring you any good. By the way, why are you raising all the questions on the same day?

You said that I don't need to memorize anything. How can one write about things of which he has no information.? For writing one need to have something in head to be able to write so how to learn/ memorize the required information.

That's not what I meant. Obviously you need to study the subjects extensively and only then you retain a considerable chunk of the material. But they don't really demand exact dates or things like that. Like if you are discussing Russia Pakistan ties, you can write "on the occasion of Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the late 1970s." Although this was just too simple an example, yet most of the discussions are generalized, spiced up with specific quotations and references. You can memorize a few of them but the rest of the things are general. At least that's what I have learned from a number of essays flagged as "best essays" or essay of the month and so on.

Dear try to learn Essay writing skills and read as much as you can on a daily basis to enhance your reading skills. Your problem will be resolved within four to six months-IA.

I personally faced the same problem in my initial days of preparation.

What to read that is general reading or specific reading directed at the papers like I.R,U.S history, current affairs etc?
