Hey guys
Hope your studies are going well
I don't think I have been much active on tele for the last few days, so i thought I d share an update

I m moving from Tapi, Gujarat where my district training was going on
Now I ll be back to training with my batch in Delhi and then LBSNAA for a few months

It ll be new for me too, new schedules, new places , new learnings so i might not be as active but I ll be here as much as I can for your important days

Other than that , I feel we have done good work together in the last few months
And I m sure you all are ready for the prelims mentally, although no one realises it at this point, we are all too anxious with completing revisions and mocks but what matters on the d day is to be mentally and emotionally ready, come what may in the paper.
Be calm, steady and focussed.

We ll continue to interact on imp things as and when needed .
Have a good productive Sunday ✌️✌️

Forwading here coz many people will be having similiar situation rn
It's normal to be scoring less in mocks but it's just an opportunity to do better in weak areas, not an indication on how your pre will go at all

Don't lose hope
And don't attach your feelings with the mocks you give
They are for making you better , not to validate your preparation

So it's okay if you are not scoring well, it means more room for improvement and improve we shall 👍✌️🤞

Let's do a quick strategy check now depending on where you are in your preparation

1. If you have already done last 10yrs PYQs

You can start doing mocks anywhere between 1-3 FLTs in a week along with static and current affairs notes revision

2. Haven't started PYQS yet

Obviously this is the first thing that you should have on your time table
Ideally finish them in the next 15 days or so
Would mean 1 year PYQs analysis every day with a few revision breaks here and there

You may solve the paper first by yourself in 2 hrs simulating an exam like environment
Then check solved youtube analysis of PYQs for evaluation

Solved videos are better than just reading solved solutions from a pdf
Since they delve into the thinking process you should have followed when you read such a question in the exam hall
They explain elimination processes where applicable and make connections with CA as to why a question was asked in the year that it was
These help train your brain to look for cues in the exam to come to the right option

3. Those Ongoing PYQ analysis

Obviously your aim is to finish PYQs ASAP and move towards a few mocks so that you are challenging yourself more before the real exam
But since you are a lil ahead in terms of how quickly you can finish the PYQs, last month revision needs to be properly strategised such that you are able to cover all GS subjects plus current affairs once quickly in this last month
It may be as less as giving 2 days to one subject but remember it's just for a quick recall of things, we are not planning to read the entire books/stories cover to cover
Just imp terms , imp dates, imp concepts etc that you go through so that if repeated in exams , there's a greater chances of you being able to recall roughly what it was (since options are already written it's more about being able to associate the facts rather than absolutely recall them verbatim)

The reason for telling you all this , which you probably would have also known at this point is to remind you again to make a final month strategy in such a way that it covers all the things you have to finish before exams in a proactive way, rather than procrastinating about them

Take the weekend and schedule reschedule your next month for your greatest productivity

In the next post I ll talk about how to use mocks for prelims ,although I have done it before also, but just in case someone needs to re hear things
Have a great day😇

Hey everyone
A lil talk about how to use mocks for prelims through some imp FAQs

1. How many mocks should you give

Anywhere between 10-20 is a good number
Considering how we have a month, i d say if you can give a mock every alternate day, it ll be nice

2. How to analyse mocks

Successively in mocks, your marks should improve
So if you are scoring in 80s first time
By the next 3/4 mocks your scores should be around 90 and by the 7/8 mock it may increase further and start touching 100 mark which is a good place to be in

If your scores arent improving in mocks and you are stuck at a low cutoff like in 60s and 70s you need to work harder
Check if your knowledge is less and you are making silly errors, revise most imp topics for that subject again .
Theres still a month and it's not too late to revise the weekest 3 subjects in good details
For the subjects where you are strong and scoring well already you can do a quicker simpler revision

3. Can you rely on mocks score

No not really because many of coaching institutes make mocks that are heavily focussed on current affairs while UPSC asks a lot from basic concepts and static portions as well
So these mocks are not exactly similar to how UPSC will frame the paper, but for that we already know we have to do the last 10 yrs MCQS
Mocks are just an additional practice to develop the skill of solving more challenging paper, with more "new" "unconventional" questions
Usually I have seen mocks are more difficult than real exam

But you must try to attempt mocks in such a way that you see some improvement of minimum 10-15 marks by the end of your cycle

4. Which is a good institute for mocks

I can't really tell coz I never solved a crazy number of mocks, stuck with just 10 from one single institute
I don't think the institute matters that much, but if possible do the entire 10-15 mocks of the same institute bcoz their difficultly level will more or less be the same across all papers so you can track some progress

If we are doing 2 mocks of one institute and 2 of some other then one from a third one, the difficulty is unpredictable and your score may fluctuate
So you may think that last time I scored 100 , now it's only 80
What did I do wrong
When in reality it's not your score that has fallen, just the exam got more difficult

5. Tracking percentile

Some institutes give a score in terms of percentile also
Or they may tell you what was the highest score for that paper overall
That maybe a better indicator in terms of performance than just the score

However if you are doing free mocks you may not get that insight and it's fine, no worries

6. Always track mistakes

Always see why a question got wrong
Analyse why couldn't answer it
Don't just remember the correct option/answer
See why other options were wrong and how you could have eliminated them

You may want to make v short notes of imp information that you learn through mock tests in a separate copy that you can revise at the end

I hope most of your doubts are cleared
In case you have any more that are related to the upcoming prelims, leave it in the comments
Will try address them next time😇

Have a great day ahead 👍👍

Hey everyone
Since we barely have a month left before prelims
I wanted to remind you NOT to skip CSAT

Imp things for CSAT at this point:

1. In this last month make sure to cover last 7/8 yrs PYQS properly. Go for YT solution videos for maths and logical reasoning especially since they teach quicker methods and shortcuts for many questions

2. Make your strategy for how you ll attempt in exam
There are roughly 3 parts to the paper: reading comprehension RC, maths/quant, logical reasoning LR

See which is your strong hold and start the paper with solving those first

Personally I did RC, then LR, Then maths

3. Don't target all questions

See you only have to get 33% qualifying marks
So don't go for quantity of questions attempted , rather quality of attempts

Don't try to attempt all and waste time, rather attempt a decent number of qs but with >90% accuracy

4. Leave ego aside for this paper

See most of those with maths and engg background see a quant question and feel they must solve it even when it is taking too long and end up wasting time
Rather choose the easier qs, don't bother about something that is taking time, leave it and move on
Don't think I have already spent so much time on it, I should atleast try to come to the answer and give it more try

5. Keep an eye on the watch

In the CSAT exam you won't even realise how you can easily spend upto 10 min on a question and still not get the soln
So keep the time in mind
When doing a lengthy question give yourself 5 mins or so and if it is not solving, just leave it

Remember the CSAT is not just about aptitude it's also an exam of attitude testing

The ones who don't know when to let go of a question, won't find it easy to clear
Rather the more positive mindset people who easily move to the next question and who take the time to choose the correct qs without getting stuck on the first problem they encounter, will clear it rather easily

And this is where PYQ solving will come on especially with the shortcuts you ll learn which help you solve "seemingly difficult questions" in v less time

Often in this exam the easier looking Qs will be unsolvable while the lengthy crazy sounding ones will have shortcuts and you can be done with them in no time if you know the trick

So practice the PYQS with this in mind and simulate exam like conditions to test yourself now in mocks at home
Good luck 🤞

So reading all your responses, I could gather a few things:

1. Nearly everyone is stressed and anxious. We're all going through the same feelings and emotions. Just don't let it overwhelm you feeling that you're the only one going through this.

2. At this point, we have to focus on what is in our control. We can only revise and give tests. Do not try predicting questions or trying to assess whether you'll pass or not. Just keep studying and leave the rest to destiny. And destiny does work in favor of those who work hard.

3. During this phase, you'll feel a strong urge to skip the exam this year. In no circumstances should you listen to that noise in your head. You've worked hard for over a year for this very day. Running away from it won't get you anywhere. You'll have the exact same feeling next year as well, it's an endless loop.

4. Believe in yourself. The game is more about mental resilience than academic smartness. Persist and persevere and you will see the results.
None of you would regret no matter what if you've given your 100%

All the best 😊

Modern history for prelims:
1. The subject is largely studied from the same sources by everyone. So essentially it comes down to who can retain it better. Now the obvious question of how to retain it better. 2 things to be mentioned here
a. Multiple revisions
b. Having a mental timeline of how the events occurred and why they occurred at that point of time.
Having such a timeline helps you approach the subject in a logical manner and makes it easier to retain as compared to just rote learning it.

2. Personalities who have recently been in news in some form or other can be seen well so that we are ready if a question comes.

3. PYQ's are crucial because of the static nature of the subject, so it guides us all the important areas to look at well.

4. Do not overwhelm yourself by trying to learn every single fact. Make sense of the sequence of events and revise it multiple times, it'll start falling in place without you needing to force it by rote learning.

All the best. With patience and hardwork modern can become a subject you can do well in as far as prelims is concerned. 😊

Hey guys meanwhile one thing I wanted to share
My anthro sir is starting a revision initiative for anthropology PYQS of last 10yrs
He ll be explaining themes and helping you understand from where questions are framed in the syllabus
So I thought I ll also share them here

It ll be helpful for those starting preparation so they can get oriented to syllabus through the examiners perspective
And also those preparing for prelims 2026, it ll be helpful to watch these videos on 2x to stay in touch with the syllabus which you probably won't be able to give time to on your own

And if you have opted for anthro in JKPCS or MPPCS , then also these videos can be useful

Give me a thumbs up so I know how many people are interested, that way I can know if it's being useful to you guys or not
