Paradigm IAS Academy #Tip4 Cracking IAS exam

Selective Study is the key!

Paradigm ias academy is one of the best IAS Academy in pune, we provides various courses like IAS, UPSC, MPSC.
When it comes to IAS Exam, syllabus is undoubtedly vast and grasping all the knowledge is definitely a herculean task. We don’t mean to scare you; rather we aim to build the understanding among students that they can’t grasp all the knowledge and even if they do, it’s difficult to retail it until the exam. So, why not ease it? And the solution for it is to be “Selective”.

Being selective is much useful in preparation how it makes one comfortable. When students see the vast syllabus while preparing, they find themselves bugged up. That means if they sit for preparing simply without making any selection, the syllabus would never seem to end. One needs complete one year to read whole syllabus and then too there is no surety that they would be though at each topic and not forget what all they have grasped.

By that time exams are on the head, candidates are not fully prepared in each topic and after reading the entire syllabus they are not even in position to tackle anyone question perfectly. Therefore, Paradigm IAS Academy vouches for selective study as it is extremely important in civil service preparation. One should know what to study, what to be given more importance, what not to be studied and so on.

Also, they should take at least 3-4 previous year question papers and thoroughly study the topics that appeared in them. This gives an insight into the topics that are frequently taken up in questions. It also lets you know the topics on which analytical questions are coming as well as the topics on which short questions are coming. Isn’t this far easier than taking up every topic in the same manner.

By going through previous year question paper one can understand what to study in current affairs. This makes one to be selective while reading newspapers. Otherwise one has to spend more time on newspapers.

Most of the toppers follow strategy of being selective. It is not wise to waste time in reading which is not required for the exam. One should have proper approach towards study the optional subjects to get success at mains.

Exclusive skills for presenting answer

Strategy for the exam deals with the collaboration all such points that get you closer to your aim. These points may include certain skills, good preparation, time management and several other factors. One of the important skills desired for clearing the exam is to present the answer well. Lengthy answers that don’t explain the point are a big NO while short answers that seem incomplete also don’t make any sense. To perfect this skill, read further:

Students are often heard saying that Question paper was very easy and the exam had gone quite well. Yet they fail to clear the mains. Why? Reason being, that when the question paper is given they never try to read full question. If they come across the words they know they start writing answers. In this hurry they often tend to even write the wrong answer. And here they make the mistake.

The advice here is to first study questions properly and understand them well as to what has been asked rather than blindly starting to write the answers. Next important part is to think what to be written for that answer. Write to the point answers. While writing 60 marks answers follow one strategy. When you read question, take always last page of your answer booklet and start writing the points what all to be included in that answer. Because while writing suddenly you may forget the points, these points give hints to continue the answer and elaborate it further.

All study after the prelims exams until the exam date. But, in Civil Servicemain exam only studying is not important. But here it’s important that how one is using his knowledge to write particular paper within three hours. What one writes during these three hours makes one topper and another failure. Here, volume of subject matter studied is not so important as how you are using your knowledge to write particular answer. Therefore while studying, always think what type of questions may be asked from particular topics and what points to be included to make different from others.
Don’t repeat the paragraphs. If graphs, pie-charts, flow charts are required draw them to make examiner know what you have written. Always follow word-limit in order to answer properly while completing the exam on time. If you think you know more about that answer and start writing more on that answer, you wouldn’t be able to complete the paper within a given time. Always try to give positive points. Don’t mention anybody’s name. Mention the points that make your answer different from others.

Apprehend the difference between the successful and failure candidate

Students often delve into the thought that why one of their friends cleared the exam and they couldn’t; considering the fact that they both used the same study material for preparation. There would surely be n number of common factors that that were considered by both the successful and unsuccessful candidate while preparing but at the same time there is something unique that made one successful.

We know that all the candidates are having books, all the candidates are dedicated to work and most of them attend coaching institutions, take guidance from seniors and friends but what not necessarily all succeed. Students say they studied for 18 hours and still they couldn’t make mains. Others say they studied only for 8-9 hours and could make mains. Why these differences?

The difference between successful candidates and the failure candidates is same as difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary persons.

One who is able to make mains never counts the hours and how many books he/she has read. But they are very clear on what they have to read, what not to read, how much to read, how to use when required writing the answers.Civil Service exam never wants one to be ideal. It requires creativity, innovativeness within the candidates, who lack to use his/her knowledge properly they feel tough to clear the exam.

Before starting the preparation, acknowledge these points and find out properly what to read, what not to read, what types of question are asked from particular topics. Mere guidance from others won’t work; you ought to put your own strategy as their strategy might not be suitable for you. So strategies well and work smart to achieve success in mains.
