Step 1: Make a timeline of all important events in world history like Industrial revolution, American revolution, French Revolution, Italian reunification etc.
Just note the events in increasing order of their time.
It will help in understanding interlinks between them
How to build a Timeline? It is a gradual process. Keep reading NCERTs (Old World History) as stories. Side by side maintain a record of important events like 1979 – Steam Engine ( Page XXX NCERT), 1811 – Luddite Revolution (Page XXX NCERT) etc.

Step 2: If you have prepared a timeline, you should have brief idea about world history timeline. Now, prepare short 1-2 page note on important topics. Analyse past 3-4 years papers of World History and you will see that questions are asked only around important events and are quite straight forward.
So, there is no need to cover entire book from cover to cover. Rather, choose important topics and prepare notes on them following a timeline.
Topics like:
- Renaissance: Origin; Why in Italy/Europe?; Impact on Europe etc
- Industrial Revolution: What; Why in UK?; Why other nations were late?; Impact on India; Impact on developing world; Labour conditions etc.
- American Revolution: Conditions; Role of thinkers, leaders, foreigners; Impact on US and other world;
- French Revolution: Conditions of French society; Role of leaders; Impact on France; Impact on Europe and other world etc.
- In this manner, prepare notes and keep revising them.
