Nausheen AIR 8 Prelims Strategy

Prelims:

1. Since the Prelims exam is around one and a half months away now, I am sharing my booklist and some notes that I used.

2. In addition to the basic books and PT 365, I solved PYQs from 2002 to 2022 (for Paper 1) and from 2013 to 2022 (for Paper 2/CSAT).

3. I analysed PYQs with two of my friends, Haider and Aditi. It helped me a lot in understanding the nature of questions, especially options of the questions. Therefore, I suggest you make a group of 3-4 people and try to analyse PYQs with them.

4. Try to match answers from official answer keys only, books of solved PYQs available in the market are not error free.

5. Other than this, simulate exam like conditions while solving tests of Test Series. I used to give Paper 1 test between 9:30 and 11:30 and CSAT between 2:30 and 4:30. You can solve as many tests as you can, provided that you are doing PYQs daily and analysing it properly. I solved around 70-80 tests before every prelims.

6. Revise basic books,maps and PT 365, PYQs as much as possible.

Note:

1. If you have followed any other source for one, two or even all the subjects, it is COMPLETELY FINE. Everybody has their own booklist and sources. Just make sure that you don't ignore the basics (mainly From NCERTs)

2. I have tried to make no mistakes in the maps/members of the organization but please cross check it once before using it.
