Preparation Notes

• Keep a dated fact notebook: appointments, agreements, summits and awards.
• Revise it weekly; current affairs fades faster than any other subject.
• Check the date on a question: facts such as office-holders change.

The subjective part of this paper is analytical, so pair fact recall with the reading in our current affairs strategy guide.
