First understand GCL is a very scoring subject. If you use your working knowledge of GCL acts with good writing skills than you can score around 70 marks in GCL.
Kindly note – only working knowledge is enough in GCL with certain other facts. Reason being the acts which are there in the GCL Course have no such application in your professional working if you are working as a CS. Well this is my personal opinion.
Further GCL is a practical (theory based and not numerical based) paper which needs a good presentation skills. Use ICSI guidelines of previous 5 years to understand the method of solving practical queries. One more thing these practical queries takes very little time in exam provided you are well aware of the technique to deal with them.
Another important fact is ICSI repeatedly asked the same practical queries so in this way completion of scanner is very very important in GCL.
Another useful aspect of practical queries is that sometimes they also help you to understand the theory written in study material. In other words you may use the practical queries as an example to understand the theory written in study material. Isa kehta hain ek teer do shikar.
Hope the above suggestions would be off some help.
