Preparation

It's nearly impossible to complete this huge book within this short time, so read properly the Important and Unknown topics like Rocks, Minerals, Volcanoes etc. And if possible, you should take a look at the whole book for gaining basic knowledge in Earth Science. 
Though it seems huge, the topics are really interesting and easy. Especially read about the Environmental Topics, Different Conference, Congress, as these are the excluding parts of Earth Science.
Above all try to keep basic knowledge about all parts of Earth Science, especially Geology, Hydrology and Environment. General Knowledge about Bangladesh, especially Renewable Energy, Natural Resources will be worthwhile. 



More resource about preparation can be found hereThese are not much necessary for the Divisional Rounds, but will really help you to learn more about Earth Science.
