Even i am not very good in GK ... but i can give you a few tips....
1- you may read the Competition Success Review ,if you dont want to read the whole magazine the last few pages are dedicated to current events .... and they have also included Business GK .... even there they have pictures deptcing the Punchlines of companies i find that very good

2- try to listen to business news everyday ... one main new of any TV like NDTV Profit .... that will certainly help you to remeber most of the current GK


start of with this ... you will find the improvement .... GK has to be built graduallly ... you cant mugup answers ... you will forget or confuse

Marisha
