On 5th June, UPSC CSE Prelims was conducted. Results were declared recently. Now, each of the serious aspirants must have entered Mains mode. Their minds will be clogged with the most crucial question that is how to prepare for the Mains 2022 exam?
Mains Notification says that, ‘The main Examination is intended to assess the overall intellectual traits and depth of understanding of candidates rather than merely the range of their information and memory. The questions are likely to test the candidate’s basic understanding of all relevant issues, and ability to analyze, and take a view on conflicting socio-economic goals, objectives and demands’.
‘Mains’ assesses the quality of thoughts and content of one’s mind. These will enter subconsciously into one’s answer sheets.
So the question arises what is the magical mantra to achieve this?
It is 'LEARN, REVISE & PRACTICE, TEST, IMPROVE, SUCCEED'.
HOW TO DEAL WITH THE LEARNING ASPECT?
The first and most important step is to have the right study material. If one thinks that they need to read 100s of books, browse 10s of websites and prepare notes from 5 newspapers and 10 magazines each day to clear the exam, this is wrong. What matters is not the quantity of materials one had gone through, but the quality of learning done.
The second step is to have a proper strategy in place. CSE Mains requires a SMART STRATEGY with the following key points kept in mind:
HOW TO DEAL WITH REVISE & PRACTICE ASPECT?
Important aspects of answer writing :
To begin with every aspirant should have clarity and have a plan in place regarding how much time they are going to contribute to each question (both in terms of thinking and writing down of the answer). It is always a good investment if, before starting to write an answer, one spends a minute or two to understand the required dimensions and framing the skeleton of the answer. Then one can write a logical and flowing answer in the remaining time. Few things that should be kept in mind are as follows:
The answer is very simple: through MOCKS!
There are a lot of benefits of taking mocks…
