UPSC
exams are not easy nuts to crack, however if you have a clear vision and
strategy to implement you cannot go wrong while you prepare for an elite exam
such as of an IES level. You must have heard ex- aspirants who had qualified
the exams talking about their experiences and the strategy, they used while
they were preparing for the same. Adhere to it, there are ample of ways you can
streamline your preparation in order to crack the examination at first go,
still follow the following tips and see yourself winning with flying colors.
Go through the previous
year question papers
As a matter of first importance, go through the previous
year question papers that came in IES. It will give you a fair idea regarding
which themes and topic are more critical and which subjects are given more
weightage during the examination. All this will help you to set-up the base by
listing out the topics and save time on sorting topics at the later stages.
Believe
on Micro Notes
Micro Notes are the most crucial aspect whenever you are
preparing for a competitive exam. UPSC sets a vast syllabus to be covered,
hence the student is boggled with what to cover /revise as the examination date
approaches. Resultantly, they become nervous and leave the important points
during revision.
Micro –notes come handy when you are at the final stage
of preparation. Since you have already understood the topics, listing out the
important events in a tabular or any format which you can easily remember at
such tight situation is the edge you always need.
Strategy
which works best for IES Exams
The
best strategy to crack IES exams stands tall on the following pillars
Listing
After, you have gone through the initial stage of
preparation, work on the following strategy to conquer the fear of examination.
The following strategy works best as it helps you in listing the important
pointers such as formulas, quotes and events.
We suggest writing the same on a page according to the
topics which have been asked in the recent year examination over the last 5
years. You can use any calendar to memorize the formula and important event
though the Gmail calendar as it was accessible to you every time.
Make a propensity to revise the formulae regular amid
morning, as brain is fresh and ready to refresh the concepts already
understood.
Attempting
Start attempting Mock-test and previous year assignment
papers as soon as you consider you are ready to appear for the IES exam.
If you are amongst those who do not consider themselves prepared even at the
last minute, start taking test more often at least six- months before your test
is scheduled to take place. This training will go far in expanding your
productivity and precision in target papers.
In the wake of modifying every one
of the formulae, open past year papers, pick one subject, and fathom 60
questions at the least in an hour’s time at least when only 3 months are left
for your examination.
Evaluating
Evaluation is the key, as you need
to make sure that all topics are thoroughly revised well before the final day
when the exam is conducted. You need to make sure that you list out the topics
where you need revision and make a note of those dubious inquiries in a different
note pad. Subsequent to following this training, eventually you will have a
scratch pad brimming with dubious and reasonable inquiries, which will be
exceptionally useful for speedy correction, days before the scheduled date of
examination.
Revising
Finally revise all, what you have
missed as well as the one which you have attempted wrong. You can always refer
to micro-notes for the same. This strategy works best after you have done the
basic preparation required for IES.
