Dear Students,
If you follow cricket, you would definitely understand the coaching term ‘match practice’. Essentially, the preparing team is exposed to match conditions by making it play a full game. But why? Why isn’t regular training or net practice enough? It is so because net practice can’t simulate the pressure of a real match. That’s the reason that you see visiting teams insisting for full fledged match practice before the real tournament starts. In fact you may have heard commentators saying that a player couldn’t perform well because he lacked match practice!
The preparation for the civil services examination is no different. Your training for the exams constitutes many things – reading books, attending lectures, watching videos, practicing answer writing and so on. However, none of these imitate the pressure of the real exam. This is where the Think, Learn and Perform (TLP) initiative comes in. The TLP initiative is just the match practice you need to excel in the real Prelims/Mains examination.
The initiative comprises of sectional and full syllabus tests, designed to simulate the real exam experience. We expect our students to attempt the questions in the given time frame and upload their answers on the portal. The answers are evaluated by a team of subject experts who give detailed feedback on the answers. The objective of the feedback is to apprise the students about their areas of strengths and weaknesses. One on one Mentorship is another integral feature of this initiative. The focus of the mentors is to make you grow in confidence and performance with each passing test so that you are fully ready by the time the Main examination arrives. We also provide detailed synopsis to the questions. Believe us, the questions along with the synopsis are an asset. For the past 6-7 years, we have witnessed scores of UPSC questions directly of indirectly related to the questions posed in TLP.
The end objective of TLP is to prepare you tackle any question posed by UPSC. Since the nature of UPSC is so unpredictable, we make the TLP papers in a way that it creates the same pressure and surprises you from time to time. After all, the UPSC examination is also a test of your nerves, isn’t it?
We understand that getting started is the most difficult part. The inertia of reading texts continuously doesn’t make it easy to start writing. This friction needs to be overcome by you. IASbaba is doing everything that it takes to provide a result oriented solution to you. What remains between you and your success is the despondency that creeps into your spirits. You need to buckle up and get started immediately.
The second most difficult part is to continue the momentum. Even if you have started, you might find it tough to continue with equal vigour and enthusiasm. Please get reminded that there are thousands like you who are striving to get their names inked in the coveted PDF released by UPSC ever year. What it actually takes isn’t talent only but perseverance and dedication.
So, before you embark upon this journey, let us give you a pearl of wisdom on answer writing:
“Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.”
