Prelims Strategy - Dr Neha Rajput

Since Prelims are in 2 months, I would address what I tried to do in the last phase.

GS Paper:

1. MCQ solving is a technique and it requires practice dedicate at least an hour or two everyday for the same. Only reading passively is not of much help. Do it with the OMR preferably. Keep a track of time.

2. “PYQs” are your key to unlocking this stage. I used to solve PYQs in the morning to set myself into that routine.

3. One source for static and one for current affairs. ❗️REVISION ❗️is most important.

4. Prioritise subjects if you haven’t finished reading, give more time to Subjects and concepts which are asked most often and frequently.

5. In the last phase “Consistency” goes a long way, there will be days where you don’t feel like studying on such days pick up things that you love to read. Mine was International relations and doing mapping.

CSAT

1. Please also give some time everyday to CSAT. 1 hour everyday was my way.

2. Prepare basics for all three aspects- Reading comprehension, Maths and logical reasoning

3. The aim should be to get qualified so don’t get stuck if you cannot solve one question. Solve the ones you are confident about and get through.

4. Prepare crisp notes of maths formulae to revise on last day.
