How to prepare for Bangladesh Affairs MCQs

Build a single timeline from 1947 to 1971 (Language Movement, United Front, Six Points, Agartala Case, 1969 uprising, 1970 election, Liberation War), as many questions test the order of events.
Learn the most-asked constitutional articles by number, such as Article 7 (supremacy), Article 65 (Parliament) and Article 94 (Supreme Court).
Pair each writer with their best-known works and titles, since literature questions usually ask who wrote what.
Use a blank map to fix where the main rivers enter Bangladesh and where they meet.
