Totally exhausted. Can someone send me the corrected spelling mistakes and doing the proof reading?
I had other jobs but had to write this, as I was meeting some people day in and out fooling around with the exam, spending half a decade before writing their first Mains.
And the common thing among them? Annually wasting six months after prelims negative result.
And when prelims comes, studying optional and gs mains.
Apologies for the typos and grammar errors ( though I am myself a grammar nazi )
Good moring. Good question.
Test of fooling around ( self diagnostic - no mentor needed )
- You are not making progress over the years. marks are nearly same or even decreasing.
- every year sources change, you keep buying new material
- you don't master any old material. you want to TOP the exam after 1-2 readings of the book,
- You claim to be a veteran, but have not even solved all PYQs - of 30 years after 3-4 prelims failures
- You don't join even 1 paid test series to evaluate a basic performance.You spend those few thousands on other things.
- You have done few tests of all coachings, but not 100% of anyone coaching.
- you are looking for some light-weight method to clear prelims, and cannot commit to 6-8 sitting hours for studies.
- you do not complete what you begin.

Dear Neyawn,
sub: Need Suggestion
I am preparing for the State PSC mains (which are mostly similar to the UPSC mains) and expect to complete this by November 1. I have been focusing entirely on the State PSC since the prelims and would appreciate any suggestions on what to do after November.
Yours sincerely,
A serious aspirant
