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

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?

Firstly, since I had reached the interview stage in all my three attempts, I never had the luxury of time to refer to any book. Secondly, I believe Ma'am's notes are more than enough to form the core aspect of the subject's preparation. I did value addition from multiple sources so as to get an edge in my answers: I referred to copies of toppers of the respective tests that I attempted during my mains ...
