In this section of quiz one last question, which I have Mark wrong is future investment initiative. This unbearable mistake happens due to clear and complete revision. Sir, I have started preparing for this 2020 prelims from February and therefore have not covered entire syllabus at least one time till up-to date.
I have written first CS(P) in 2019. And also last year paper so easy for me. A lot of questions which I triggered be correct according to your answer key(above qualifying marks)
But one thing that I can say tragedy with me became reality is I have not managed time and not did bubble and get collapsed which is appeal to me that you have not sustain in this race. Depression so easily catch to me.
I decided that I am not able to qualify this exam.
But thanks to my father who encouraged me and tell plethora of story who got success in adverse situation. I belong to full fledged of rural background. And last take a progressive steps and try to cross another part of ocean in stubborn way.
Sir, please provide some guidance on
– can I go through coverage of entire syllabus while time has alarming.
– what is the best pragmatic steps to cover traditional as well as current affairs part.
– If we talk about the subtle of current affairs then find a strong interlinking value of current affairs with static portion. Therefore is this possible that read excessively current of some extended too.
Thank you sir.
First off I am glad you have a father like that who motivates and supports you so much.
Coming to the preparation , yes revision is extremely important as it gives you confidence to take risks. in the last few days before prelims always focus 80 percent on revision.
Now
– can I go through coverage of entire syllabus while time has alarming.
You have given prelims before so it will be easy for you to study. But since now time is less you should focus on standard books only and on important topics. To find important topics you can refer upsc previous year questions.
– what is the best pragmatic steps to cover traditional as well as current affairs part.
Cover current from one source only, you can use forumias factly or some other compilation. but do only one compilation and do it 2-3 times.
For traditional part focus more on revision of what you have done. In the remaining days of April month focus 60 percent time on revision and 40 percent on new stuff but from standard sources like I have said above. And in May 1-15 focus 80 percent on revision and in the last two weeks focus only on revision.
Don’t worry if u are not able to cover some topics. Now is not the time to study many new things. Focus on revision and practice.
– If we talk about the subtle of current affairs then find a strong interlinking value of current affairs with static portion. Therefore is this possible that read excessively current of some extended too.
Focusing more on anything is not good…. try to maintain a balance as much as you can. You never know what upsc will ask.
So in the end . Focus on revision and practice more for the next 30 days and in the last 15 days only revise. Read new things only in April. Focus on making basics stronger.
Hope this helps
Thank you sir
