Yes, you read that right. For some, it may be the first time.
For some, it becomes a never-ending cycle. A cycle that keeps repeating. Even after resolutions to change the outcome. Even after putting all ounces of effort you could.
By ‘pattern’ we mean the way you approach your preparation.
Now there are two types of aspirants – an under-achiever and an overconfident achiever. Irrespective of whichever one are you, you need to push yourself towards being in the middle ground.
Look, each aspirant is unique but there’s a certain way in which this exam should be approached. If one does not work on their attitude, the first failure happens there.
So, reach the middle ground first.
Once you are here, focus on becoming a GENERALIST.
Now who is a Generalist?
A Generalist is someone who very smartly reads, connects the dots, gain conceptual clarity and moves on without doing a PhD in any particular subject.
They concentrate on the ‘HOW’ – How to read, how to prepare, how to speed-read and understand, how to make effective notes, how to remember.
What is this HOW?
Focusing on basic understanding and wider coverage rather than detailed studies and intensive coverage.
Next, Remove the belief that Prelims is very difficult.
See, this is a pure number game. The more the number of aspirants, the more the level of competition. The seats are fixed. Hence, the success rate is low.
Add to it the unpredictable questions that test you in a specific time frame. It is UPSC’s nature to reject a ridiculously high number of aspirants. Now that’s the way it has been.
But there are some who tide through it and clear it.
And yes, in the next examination –
Now it is time to really define each element of the HOW!
Right Frame of Mind:
We discussed about in the previous section how it is important for you to note down the things that you have done which have not worked. You are way ahead than many for knowing the things that you should not be doing in this attempt. This sets you apart because now you can completely focus on what exactly you need to focus on and how your preparation needs to be done.
Right Way of Gaining Knowledge:
There’s a specific way to approach your preparation. Not by mugging and covering everything. Not by making endless notes. Not by going through thousands of materials of different coaching classes. It all lies in reading what important and establishing key links that exists across topics from different subjects and current affairs.
Right Guidance & Accountability:
You need mentors that you can rely on for their wisdom and experience and who can hold you accountable even on days you feel uninspired to prepare.
We understand how not-so-easy it is to be amongst that top 1% of the crowd that gets the opportunity to call themselves a Prelims qualifier. Therefore, we have created an exclusive programme that covers the 3 R’s of Preparation and more.
