These most important paper which can help you to crack cds exam in one month preparation is CDS GK paper. Many aspirants struggle to even clear individual cutoff for GK paper (20 marks), so be alert and study accordingly so that you are atleast 10 marks ahead of individual cutoff.

Your only source of CDS GK preparation will be Lucent GK book.(Because we have less time and need to complete many topics of GK paper).

The above-given pages may seem less, but this book is very compact to study in 30 days as it contains ample information.

• You need to revise this book 1-2 times before the exam. Otherwise, you cannot recall data at the time of the exam.
• You also need to be aware of current affairs happening around which can be covered from Disha Quarterly Current Affairs book. (You need to revise from 3 such current affairs books)
• No notes making from Lucent GK. We have limited time which we need to invest in multiple revisions.

(You will take first 12-13 days to read the book and next 10-12 days for its revision)

CDS Maths preparation in one month

When you are aiming for CDS exam preparation in one month, leave CDS Maths preparation aside and focus only for CDS English paper and CDS GK paper so that you atleast have chance of clearing CDS Exam for OTA (For which marks of only GK and English paper are considered)

We are leaving Maths preparation aside because:

1. Completing 3 paper syllabus and revising it is not possible. Instead, if we will focus on two papers, we can manage time properly and their are chances to clear cutoff for CDS OTA exam (by scoring 90+ Marks in English and GK paper)
2. CDS GK preparation will demand atleast 2 revisions and CDS English needs rigorous practice of previous year papers. This can be done if we divide our time in 2 subjects only. (Quality study possible)
3. Instead of focusing on multiple academies, our focus will be only on Officers Training Academy (OTA) and we will make it through.
