hi saurabh,
please search the threads with the query 'general knowledge'...
u'll get a whole lot of threads on GK...having great content themselves or atleast referring to some other links...

also a daily dose of a gud newspaper can keep u update on the GK and the current affairs...
i hope i am not ambiguous in my answer...
rest regarding the speed and accuracy...the only mantra is practice...no short cuts...

I feel it is ok to resigh in September. It will give you ample time to prepare. As far GK goes, if your read newspaper regularly, I am sure it will improve by the year end.

@alpz :
resigning might not be a gud idea. Though it is my personal opinion,may vary with others.
the reason i wont prefer u to resign is that , one of my friend was in a grp interview in Spjain, whr smone was in a similar situation as he had resigned from the job to prepare for CAT,the interviewer was very scepticle about this step. and was insolent to him, sayin "if cant manage study and work then mgmt is far fetch for u".
so if u think to resign then be ready to be cribbled with similar kinda situation.
