7 DEADLY SINS OF UPSC PREPARATION
1. Current Affairs without Static
- This leads to lack of understanding of fundamentals and inability to form linkages across papers.
2. Mocks without PYQs
- The gravest of all sins with no possible redemption.
3. Hardwork without Breaks
- This strategy is often attempted by ‘serious aspirants’ to achieve superproductivity but is actually counterproductive.
4. Mains without Answer Writing Practice
- Often results in phenomenons like - non completion of paper, generic content, lack of brain-hand coordination.
5. Answers without IBC Format
- A good structure is a prerequisite of a good answer and to compensate for the average content.
6. Learning without Revision
- The most difficult part of the process is revision, but the number of revisions has a direct correlation to recall time.
7. Planning without Execution
- Fancy, colourful planners and a new time table every fortnight do more harm than good. A plan is as good as its execution, right?
