Every aspirant who decides to be a civil servant has no idea in the beginning how to prepare for the examination. They find the books too lengthy, the test series very advanced and the syllabus vague. Some of us, are fully acquanited with the syllabus only three months into preparation.
It’s important to create a workable strategy on every aspect of UPSC — from current affairs, prelims, mains, optionals to revision and test series. Missing even one of this will put you many marks behind the UPSC race.
Open to All, Free Live Q&A Webinar by IPS Officer Rajiv Kumar (West Bengal Cadre)
You might have consulted umpteen websites on the internet on how to go about your UPSC preparation, but still you are confused as they address only the surface level Do’s and Don’ts.
For example, every site says read the newspaper. Here comes the question – what to read in the newspaper? What if I miss an important news? Should I make notes of the news everyday? Won’t that be a lot? Then how will I be able to revise?
Every website says read Laxmikanth for polity. But after reading 2-3 pages of Laxmikanth you realise that you are unable to remember anything! Even as you are reading, the concepts don’t register clearly. What to do now? Go slow and not leave the page till you have memorized all the concepts, or read fast and complete the book in time? Remember you have nine papers in UPSC Mains.
Similarly, in test series for Prelims is better to only solve previous year question papers? Are previous year questions actually important for prelims exam where the paper pattern and type of questions changes every year?
