How to prepare in 2 months for UPSC Cvil Services Prelims 2017

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) will conduct the civil services preliminary examination on June 18.

Following are the tips provided by AK Mishra’s Chanakya IAS Academy to score good marks in the preliminary examination:

• Since it’s a revision plan, not a preparation strategy, you can’t just focus on one subject; rather, involve multiple subjects in a day

• Practice is the parent model for all the revision tools. Enroll yourself in the test series programme which almost every academy offers during this time

• It’s not enough to read your coaching material. It is highly advised to follow current news and important sources. Read newspapers every day, read important articles and make notes of them. You can also get a current affairs booklet which is available in many IAS academies

• Keep a day aside in a week for complete revision. Quiz yourself on what you’ve read and how much you’re able to recollect, followed by correcting your mistakes and focusing on the important topics. Try and solve past five years’ question papers to understand your level of preparation and the areas that need to be strengthened

• Most importantly, enjoy these 120 days to the fullest. Complete your weekly targets, and do not worry and get disheartened about the results. Rather, stay positive and believe in yourself

• Consider chanting ‘I can do It’ five times every time you feel demotivated. Do not try to lock yourself in a room and keep yourself engrossed in only books only, rather go out, have fun, talk to your friends, discuss the current events and important things with them, understand human psychology and the happenings around you, discuss how a positive change can be brought in the society; this is also a crucial part of preparation which should not be neglected.
