Attempting all questions of GA in GATE can easily fetch you 15 marks. So, to prepare for general aptitude, start with knowing the syallabus. Start with topics that you find easy. Practice and keep a target of solving at least 30 to 50 questions a day- 20 questions (easy level), 20 questions (mid-level), and 10 questions (hard level). Increase this frequency slowly.
Besides that, practice GATE old question papers to understand, what kind of questions are asked (under GA). Follow the same pattern and find similar questions to solve. If you keep up this frequency, then sure shot you will score full marks in GATE general aptitude.&nb

Honestly, textbooks are not enough for GATE preparation (especially if you are targeting IITs and top colleges).
Besides your college books, look out for top GATE books recommended by toppers, mentors, and professors. Pick at least one standard book for each subject and start studying it side by side. Apart from that, also practice solving GATE question papers of last 5 to 10 years to get hands on the question difficulty and pattern.
Stay consistent, prepare a practical timetable and religiously follow it. At the end, it's all upto how you prepare for the exam.
