Previous year papers show what an exam really asks. Use them as a guide, not only as practice.
Notes are useful only when they are short and organised.
Editorials teach you how to argue clearly and give you background on issues.
You do not need hours for current affairs if you follow a method.
Many students buy books first and read the syllabus later. It should be the other way round.

There are many free resources, and quality varies. Choose with care.
NCERT books of Classes 6 to 12 are commonly used as the base for history, geography, polity, economy and science in many competitive exams.
