Preparation for the UPSC (for beginners).
many people will tell you the booklist to start with. i will tell you the starting point.
that starting point is- visit a village and spend few days there.
meet people, see their lifestyle, follow the agricultural pattern, the temples, the peaceful nature, the rain etc.
and try to find out the problems these people are suffering from.
now come back and start preparing.
believe me, you will never be able to waste your time. you will always have some memories in your mind which will tell you that you are betraying those people whenever you waste the time. you will realize that just by studying properly, you might change the lives of the people around the country.
so, just do that to start with.
Study smartly
First prepare a strategy of what to study and what not to study and then put all your hard work in it.
Study from limited sources and study that religiously.
For example, I followed only VisionIAS monthly current affairs magazine apart from newspaper. No need to gather everything available under the sun.
Answer writing for Mains.
Most important.
Essay, Ethics and Optional cost you 1000 marks and GS 1,2 and 3 combined cost you 750 marks. An aspirant waste all his energy to prepare for GS and compromise on others. Please be aware (or BEWARE) of this.
You can go through previous years question papers of prelims, mains and optional. They will guide you.
Solve last 10 years’ prelims question papers and last 5–6 years’ optional papers.
Do not take CSAT or Paper 2 of Preliminary examination lightly, especially this year.
Revise, Revise, Revise.
Study for three hours at a stretch.
Do not study for more than 8 hours per day.
You can increase this to 10 hours when exams come near.
Do take a day off to recharge your batteries.
While, doing CSAT, do not get stuck. First solve all the questions you know to calm down the pressure.
In Preliminary examination, solve all the questions you know 100%, 50% and 25% . Do not leave more than 10 questions to be on safer side.
In mains exam, attempt all questions. First answer all the questions you know. Then try to write something about the questions that you don't know. Try not to leave questions.
Write fast and write as you like in mains. Please don't think of writing in points or paragraph. Write as you think it should be written.
Draw diagrams in mains exam wherever necessary. Presentation matters.
Lastly, I urge you all, to take up one physical activity. It will keep you happy, motivated and strong.
