Measures to Improve General Knowledge for Entrance Exam

General Knowledge is not only a vital component of management entrance exams but also for getting recruitment to different types of companies. Now, every student has to target his/her general knowledge skills to score better in their entrance exams. Here, i have discussed few measures that can be taken by the students to enhance their general knowledge capabilities.

1. You have to understand that your knowledge can not be built overnight. One has to devote daily one hour reading newspaper and makes important points from the articles according to your exam pattern. Generally, exam is based on latest happenings and news.

2. Apart from newspapers, refer to magazines for analysis and in-depth coverage of a news story.

3. Identify your area of interest, whether its sports or books or politics and start working on that field. You will require less efforts to upgrade your skills in that particular field and thus, can save time and efforts. However, don't ignore area which is generally asked in your appearing Entrance Exams.

4. Make extensive notes on the basis of information, you have gathered from various resources. You are more likely to remember what you have written down rather than something you just glanced over.

5. Start improving you GK from the first day of preparation Don't put it off for the last week or last month before the exam.

6. Whenever you read news, make note of these questions who, when, where, why, what and how. For example, if you are reading about Euro Crisis, find out answers to these questions : who are the personalities mentioned? When did crisis start? where it is happening? Why did the situation come out? How has the crisis unfolded? Answers to these questions will give clear knowledge about the topic you are reading.

7. Refer to the notes after definite time period say after 15 days as it will help you remember what you have learnt. A major reason why aspirants get bogged down by GK is its vastness but it can be overcome only by continuous reading.

8. Refer to the selective resources, online as well as offline for reading and references purposes Too many notes will make confusion and also duplication. So, avoid this, to learn better and score more in your entrance exams

How to Switch OFF Citizen Calculator

You might be confused on seeing no OFF button on your calculator. Actually, these are general calculator available at low cost in the market. They process simple calculations like division, subtraction, Addition, Multiplication. But, how will you OFF that calculator having no option on them. There is always a trick which OFF them. It depends on the company calculator and their series to which they belong. I can tell you about Citizen Calculator CT-500 (as you can see in the image), how can you switch OFF it and can save battery too. If you leave calculator idle for 6-7 minutes, it will goes OFF automatically. My calculator goes OFF in 6.50 minutes from the point of leaving it idle. But, this is not the power saving trick for these types of calculator having not much backup battery. To save the power of your normal calculator, here is the trick to switch OFF it. Press ' /(divide sign)', 'x(multiply sign)', '%(percentage sign)', 'autoreplay option(

Buzzer interface with 8051 microcontroller

Buzzer is a electronic device that converts the electronic signal into buzzing noise, that is applied to it. It can be used as electronic bell or as quiz buzzer in many applications around us. Here, i world like to discuss the interfacing of a small buzzer with 8051 microcontroller and how different projects can be constructed. Buzzer Interfacing: This project shows the interface with AT89S52 microcontroller to a buzzer. When a push button is pressed, the buzzer will get ON and OFF ( number of times set in the code ) and then stops. Circuit Diagram: - The port P1 of the microcontroller is connected to buzzer. This type of connection is possible, if the current requirements of the buzzer is not more than 20mA. The output is in current source mode so that buzzer will turn ON when the output of the port is logic LOW. Switch is connected to port P3 which remains at logic HIGH by pull up resistor. Code: #include "REG52.h" #define buz P1 sbit SW=P3^0; long int i; voi

Different ways to generate delays in 8051

The delay length in 8051 microcontroller depends on three factors: The crystal frequency the number of clock per machine the C compiler. The original 8051 used 1/12 of the crystal oscillator frequency as one machine cycle. In other words, each machine cycle is equal to 12 clocks period of the crystal frequency connected to X1-X2 pins of 8051. To speed up the 8051, many recent versions of the 8051 have reduced the number of clocks per machine cycle from 12 to four, or even one. The frequency for the timer is always 1/12th the frequency of the crystal attached to the 8051, regardless of the 8051 version. In other words, AT89C51, DS5000, and DS89C4x0 the duration of the time to execute an instruction varies, but they all use 1/12th of the crystal's oscillator frequency for the clock source. 8051 has two different ways to generate time delay using C programming, regardless of 8051 version. The first method is simply using Loop program function in which Delay() function i
