    FIRSTLY: For this paper, it is very important to be updated in �current affairs� in all fields.
    For History, Economy, Polity, etc, you should read Class 11 and 12 books published by the NCERT. Here are some NCERT e-book downloads that you can use free!
    For general knowledge and objective-type questions, refer to the book �General Knowledge Refresher by O.P. Khanna�.
    According to IAS topper of 2000, Sorabh Babu Maheshwari, you must read �Competition Success Review� issues from December to May. Just go through them and try to pick as many facts as you can. Also solve the previous years' General Studies Prelims and Model Papers published in Competition Success Review.
    Here are some sample General Studies papers to give you an idea:
    General Studies 2006 Prelims Paper
    General Studies 2005 Prelims Paper
    When studying for General Studies, you should try to read up as many business and political magazines, newspapers etc. that you can. This has two advantages. It will give you a good control over the English language. This "good control" helps you in many of the papers like the "essay paper", the "English qualifying paper" etc. It will also keep you updated with the latest facts and current affairs.
    However, do not over do this. You should not waste your time reading a lot and picking up very few facts! You must try to read only things that matter and take an extra effort to look out for things that could be asked in the exam papers!
