[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021

Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.

@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?

This is the official Thread for discussion of Prelims Postponement, Please do not create new threads for the same.

Guys need a bit of help :-

1. I want to know if there is any source for all the solved Previous Year Prelims questions. Atleast last 20-24 yrs (except for the Disha Publication wala book)

2. How many total number of tests were there in Forum's Prelims test series 2020 ? 35 test or 45 tests ? And all the tests contained 50 questions ?

3. Between Forum IAS's Prelims 2020 test series and GS Score's Prelims 2020 test series, which one would you recommend and why?

4. For covering ancient history anybody referring to Tamil Nadu School Books of Class 11 ? if Yes, are you studying the new editions or the old ones?

5. for Culture part...apart from Introduction to Fine Arts (NCERT)...what other source are you referring to ? Nitin Singhania's book is extremely vast

Kinly help

Can help regarding point 1 and 5.

1. There is PYQ along with solutions, by New Vishal Publication. Just google New Vishals Prelims PYQ.

5. Try Nitin Singhania hand written notes, quite comprehensive and not excessively lengthy. Plus keep track of art and culture issues in news.

@Bengal_Tiger For 1:

Wizard publication:the pages are of low quality,may also have some mistakes( download official upsc key) but so do others like new vishal and disha....this worked for me because i liked the format ...the questions are given above and the solutions below...i also saw other publications but the solution is given on back of the book.....

3: After completing any one full test series...say vision i think you can try tests of all coaching selectively ( 5 or 6 tests per coaching)... preferably full length tests....that would take you to 50+ tests in total and i think it would be sufficient

@Raillife There are around 70 videos. I mean it's quite time consuming. Are they worth time ?
