For this, consider how much time you have until the test date, and how many other things you want to do in life which surely includes the fun part too as only study will cause disinterest.

Manage your time so that your preparation includes each section of the test, with more time allotted to sections where you think you may be weaker.

You should be positive and have faith in yourself. Passing exam in first attempt is a combination of sheer luck and good preparation. So, be patient and support yourself over the long haul.

Syllabus of optional subjects is also vast which often urges candidates to have many books to cover the topics.

Cracking IAS exam #Tip3 By Paradigm IAS Academy

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.

Cracking IAS exam #Tip1 Precise knowhow of syllabus

Cracking IAS seems difficult and owing to this many times students jump on to the difficult tasks and topics thinking that it would be of utmost benefit in getting through. The clear answer to this is “No”. Knowing what not to read is as important as the knowledge of what all to study.

To perfect this part,
first go through General Studies syllabus thoroughly and try to be foolproof with the syllabi. If you know syllabus, 20% of your work is over. It helps you what to read and what not to read. Don’t neglect the added syllabus. Always questions will be asked from the new syllabus. Try to think what type of questions may come from particular topic. What is the relevance of particular topic in today’s life?

This year there is change in the syllabus of General-Studies and also optional paper. Don’t get tense when somebody says there is change in syllabus. Civil Service exam tries to select candidates who are creative and innovative and aware of day to day life. Accordingly, syllabus has been changed.

Hence, don’t panic rather step ahead with the confidence which is possible when you have grabbed the important part of the syllabus thoroughly.
