For last 2 3 days my inbox on all social media plateforms is full with personal messages. A few are *" Thank-you sir for all your help. Got XYZ rank in CSE 2019. "* with happy faces on the other side. But a lot (more than 90%) are *messages of Pain , Frustration, Disenchantment and Regret.* Most of these want just a *soothing few lines reply* from me, because they somehow feel that *I can understand* their situation better given that I myself, achieved CSE target in 5th attempt after multiple failures.

But I can't reply to the most except with some cliché statements like *"STAY STRONG COMRADE."* It feels so bad and so hurtful to see such talented minds of the country regretting being not successful in this *Chakravyuha Challenge of UPSC CSE.* 😔

I have personally seen people having *reached even Interview stage 2 3 4 5 6 times,* but still not being able to make it, leave about those who exhausted their all attempts with other stage failures. And when such people message you asking for what to do now - *it feels bad, very bad.* How can I match their level of wisdom and experience ? How can someone getting selected without those level failures be called more intelligent or worthy than those people by society? I, simply, can't fathom out.

If I compare my selection with such souls, I have no hesitation to say ki *KISMAT ACHHI THI JO NIKAL GAYE IS GAMBLE SE.* Nothing else special I done or have to be out of this cycle. *I am sorry friends* I have nothing substantial to guide you or tell you what to do NOW. Just few self-experience based basic advices I can speak out like that *don't take any decision now only. Take time,give your mind and body some relaxation. Also don't lose hope before it's totally Blackout.* You were one of the best brains of the country and *YOU ARE STILL ONE.* Merely one overhyped exam don't make you any less worthy.

Keep trying for anything you will love to do now. If attempts and courage left, *come back better.* If , unfortunately not, *PLEASE MOVE ON.* Find out each and all possible alternatives for you like *State PCS or Coaching profession or anything else your heart wishes for including pending life decisions about marriage etc.* It's *NEVER TOO LATE.* Even if it is, be the FIRST ONE TO CHANGE THE PATTERN.

All this excessive happiness of selection or excessive sorrow of failure is transient. Life is much more brutal and competitive than this CSE. *If you as a sperm, could win over crores of other competitors , before your own conception itself - you can still win.* You can still flourish. You can still succeed. *You can still be worthful for your family, society and nation.* Just go for it and show others that *YOU WERE DIFFRENT YESTERDAY. YOU ARE DIFFRENT TODAY. And YOU WILL BE DIFFRENT TOMORROW.*

With Best wishes and feelings 😢😢🤗🤗

Always Yours,

*Yo Yo Choti Singh aka Vijay Wardhan Sarswat*

*#HUM_HONGEY_KAMYAAB_EK_DIN* 😊💐

@Neyawn I got your point sir. I am extremely happy and feel blessed to have got this rank especially while I was working and pregnant at the same time. However, it's not just for the sake of improving my rank. I left my job at Goldman Sachs to become an IFS officer and that is my first preference. So, if I still have an attempt left, I would like to give my best one more time.. For the satisfaction that I tried my best while I could. Though with the background in finance and being an MBA, I would be happy and fulfilled in IRS also. No pressure, just giving my best and staying happy about it :)

@Raillife I believe this is your 1st attempt.

Firstly, you should have understood the conceptual parts of any subject very well. Once you understand them you don't need to read them over and over. Example, energy flow diagrams in ecology. It is of no utility to read line by line every time you read it.

Secondly, i hope you are solving tests. Solving tests makes you realise what is important for prelims. Your revision gets better without any extra effort.

Thirdly about thoughts wandering here and there, you figure it out yourself buddy. One who wants to clear the exam will find solutions by introspection, I'm sure you can do it

MatildasMissHoneysaid
Candidates who have the experience of clearing or guiding students who have cleared the preliminary examination consistently, what would you recommend - solving + two revisions of 1 test seriesorsolving + one revision of 2 test series?

Second option. I hope you don't mean a full set of 30 odd tests.

IMO 40-50 tests are sufficient for most people (I don't know your history at prelims), no need to do full set of 30-35 tests from two institutes. So my suggestion, 30-35 full set from institute 1 and full length tests of institute 2.

(To add weight to my suggestion, this strategy worked for me in 3/3 prelims, doing same this year too)

Additional tip : avoid revising the MCQs that you got absolutely right with no confusion. Note down question numbers of the questions that went wrong and the ones you were 50-50. These require the most attention
