How to use these books
1
Do not read them cover to cover
Match the TNPSC syllabus topic list against the book chapters and read only what is listed. Most of a textbook is not asked.
2
New syllabus first, old syllabus second
The new books (2018 onwards) carry most of the current questions. The old term-based books are still worth keeping for History and Science topics that were dropped.
3
Class 6–10 is the core
The bulk of General Studies comes from 6th to 10th standard. Classes 11 and 12 matter mainly for Group 1 and Group 2.
4
Read in your exam medium
If you are writing in Tamil, study the Tamil-medium book. Terminology in the question paper follows the book you write in.
