Dimension of UPSC Questions in Prelims (Best strategy for smart study)

My first post here.

What are the various dimensions the UPSC focusses on in Prelims?

If we can brainstorm and create a list here for each subject, it would be immensely helpful including Current Affairs! 

For ex: Modern India, some of the dimensions would be the congress sessions, peasant movements etc.
