      • More opportunities to make improvements in preparation. Beginners are prone to making mistakes in the first attempt but due to lack of time, they can’t make amends. But if you have ample time you can make it in one go.
    • A huge UPSC syllabus and long journey require an aspirant to develop a mindset. That takes time for first-timers.
      • Answer writing notes revision everything could be started eyes and plan with surgical precision if started early
      • You get more time to unlearn certain habits which might be detrimental to UPSC prep and build new habits.
    • How to prepare?
      • First, the dynamic nature of the gigantic syllabus must be acknowledged.
      • Second, Complete coverage of the syllabus with a smart technique and a minimum number of sources.
      • Third, Segregate the syllabus, identifying the core areas of the CSE.
      • Fourth, Follow 3R: Revise, Revise and Revise
      • Fifth, Most importantly how to improvise & customize your preparation plan as per your own strength and weakness
    • Advantages of the early beginning:  
      • How to set your goals and build your habit. Habit formation, after all, takes time and effort
      • Having sufficient time, how to re-schedule your planning.
      • If you think you’re a fainted heart, better start IAS preparation soon. It makes you stone-hearted.

    For those who couldn’t find their name on the list, it is a time for introspection and reflection.

    “Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.”

    Henry Ford

    Let us discuss and uncover the issues that you are facing in your preparation.

    UPSC Mains 2022 was unlike the last few years’ Mains. With very few questions focussing on the conceptual-analytical aspect, it was factual and high on GS static topics based. Apparently, it might seem easy but to contain the answer within 2-3 pages was a tough task in the exam hall. UPSC seemingly moved backward to the late 90s Mains era when such static topic-based questions were asked predominantly.

    For Mains 2023 aspirants, Sajal sir’s suggestion would be to focus on value addition on GS topics rather than content addition; practice intensively Mains Previous Year questions; bring creativity & innovation in your answers because even though questions are easy but answers needn’t be simple; collecting and using case studies, examples, etc. to make your answers stand apart.

    Fill out the Samanvaya form and get on a 1-to-1 call with senior IAS faculty and mentors. We will discuss preparation issues like the timetable, strategy, planning, sources, etc, and get them resolved.

    20 Best Practices of Answer Writing in UPSC Mains Masterclass details: 28th November (Wednesday), 6 PM

    The main points to be discussed:

    “*The 20 best answer writing practices are divided into 3 sections:- 5 basics, 5 intermediate, and 10 advanced”

    1. Identifying and tackling directive words and tail words in the Mains Question. There are more than 30 directives and you must answer according to that only. We will discuss how to approach an answer wrt to these directives

    2. When, where, and how to use diagrams, flowcharts, tables, etc?

    It is a common notion that more diagrams = more marks, but this is not true. You must draw diagrams/flowcharts to address certain parts of the question only. 

    3. Understanding the core and non-core parts of the questions. 

    There is one part of the Mains question that is directly asked and is an obvious question. The non-core part at times might not be obvious but you must address that. 

    4. How to use anecdotes, facts, data, examples, and case studies? – even using the most common ones in the most impactful manner, in such a manner that it fetches you more marks

    5. How to answer a question with limited content or knowledge? Basically – Bouncer/googly questions. Keywords in question: Pravin sir will thoroughly explain what each keyword means. Analyzing critically is different from explaining or elaborating. So, how to read the question carefully and then start answering?

    6. How to complete the paper in 3hours? And what should be the correct sequence of answering sections in the Mains paper? 

    This is very essential to maintain your speed as well as consistency in your thinking process. 

    7. Make a trade-off between quality and quantity in your answers. You might now be able to recall every piece of info for all the answers.

    8. When to write answers in Paragraph form and when to write in heading, subheading, and points? What should be the ideal length of a sentence, paragraph, and number of points?

    9. What should be your strategy for the last week before Mains 2022?

    10. How to go about the Final Revision before Mains 2022? Focus on making more revisions: If you can’t remember any points, how to put things in your notes during the exam? What are the exact ways to revise at least 10 times before the exam? Things must be your tips.

    We call this daily answer writing as Daily Answer Wars. Apart from this we also do Daily Check-ins making your daily Timetable and in Night owl discussions, we discuss important terms in news. 

    The essence of CD War Zone

    With Daily Answer Wars and Night Owl Discussions our aim is to ensure that you write and discuss themes/topics/terms that have a very high probability of appearing in the exam. 

    Writing is a whole different ball game. When you sit down to write, it’s an entirely different process. It’s about streamlining your thinking, and your ideas. You might be thorough with a concept but you might fail to pen it down. That’s worse than not having ideas at all. Moreover, when we all sit together and write an answer, we get access to various unexplored dimensions. By doing a Peer Review, you can add those dimensions to your War Notes. These War Notes will come handy when you would be revising your Mains notes. 

    When you discuss, you will almost always discover new concepts in the process. There is no substitute for this kind of discovery. Talking with others is a good way to develop a deeper understanding and ensure you retain better. Retention is everything. When you share with your fellow Aspirants regarding Academic and Non-Academic issues of the UPSC Exam, you get the best solutions to those problems. 

    So many aspirants just keep looking for content and hoard all kinds of PDFs. At Civilsdaily we don’t believe such PDFs are helpful at all. You need to be on a path of discovery and be actively involved. If you are a serious aspirant, you can’t afford to just consume information. That is why our emphasis is on the Notes(read War Notes) that you yourself prepare in this process. We Believe every Answer has the potential to become a Model Answer, rather than giving you a Model Answer, we help you make your Answers a Model answer
