PrelimsTips#4 In the hall, when you get the paper, the first thing that you should do is to skim through the paper, assess the difficulty of the paper and DETERMINE how many questions you are going to attempt . Just write down the difficulty - easy medium complex on the top margin after skimming through the paper. Reason is, if you attempt too much in a difficult paper, you are going to get a lot of negatives. If you attempt too less in an easy paper then also it hampers your chances as your competitors would attempt maximum possible. In my personal opinion,the sweet spot to attempt the the paper is between 80 to 85 in a hard paper like 2021/2023 . If the paper is moderate like 2022/2024 then 85 to 90 and if the paper is easy, then 90+. Now these brackets might vary - and we highly recommend you calibrate them through the FLTs etc you are solving. Most importantly, after you have solved the paper for 45 minutes to 1 hour - YOU SHOULD RE-CALIBRATE the paper's difficulty and decide the final number you are going to attempt. Sometimes the earlier assessment might be wrong because you started in a patch of difficult questions, didn't skim the paper fully. But solving for 1 hour should give you a much better idea. This re-assessment will come handy in your final passes and stop your urge of marking questions carelessely. You should decide this number and this thinking on your feet will probably a very important decision you make in those two hours. Happy Studying !! PG @upscseeproanalytics @upscproanalytics

@upscseeproanalytics Which statements are correct ? (Impeachment krlena acche se is baar )

People are running after test series - asking incessently for jabhyaas, demulators , atrangi FLTs of satrangi institutes. But most of the veterans here and in other groups will agree, these are worthless. (but don't burn them yet) Serious aspirants on other hand are solving PYQs consistently - and... honestly at a mindblowing rate - almost 180PYQs per day/person on Prelims Playground. This is what real preparation looks like. If you haven't, checkout PYQ Playground to practice dedicated PYQs. You can apply your own subject wise/topicwise and even exam wise custom filters. If you face issues, reach out to admins or flag inaccuracies on website itself - we will reach out. Thank you to everyone for the positive feedback !! Happy Studying !! #prelimsplayground

In coming days - you will see many channels spewing XYZ days to prelims. Hurry up. The timers are running. Pralay aa jayegi - blah blah blah. Honestly, its all BS. Days don't matter. What matters is how much you are able to get out of a single day. People have many a times cleared prelims in 2 - 3 weeks - after revising basics and getting into mcq mode. A lot of interview appeared/selected candidates intending to improve rank- don't have a lot of time after FR to prepare for prelims. Still they consistently clear it. Nobody can study everything. No one can complete entire syllabus - this goes even more so for mains. For prelims, Pareto principle holds true : 20% of topics will let you cover 80% prelims weightage. Focussing on these will help. (hint : see themes of past papers). What matters is getting into prelims mode and revising basics/high weightage topics. And lastly maybe, its time to shut down the manufactured panic and chill a bit. Its doable. Happy Studying !! @upscproanalytics.

We do not study Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Theta books. We stick to Spectrum and/or our basic material. We do not get whatever is written in our base material and whatever we have read and revised wrong. (Prelims Tip #2) Answer to the question given verbatim in Spectrum.

Solve for the question in the poll below.

Sometimes it is not about not knowing what the correct answer is but about knowing what the least incorrect answer could be. (Prelims tip #1) Except for the first one, all the other three are generic and seem largely correct.

• Around ~11k PYQs are live now including questions from CAPF and CDS. UPSC CSE questions till 1997 are there. Modify the filters for different exams to access these. • We have vetted the questions preliminarily and verified with other sources broadly via code - and we have more than 99% accuracy. Still some older questions/CA from that time - became outdated over time and hence could appear inaccurate in today's context. Plus, manually vetting all questions is not possible, so we have added a small "Flag this question for inaccuracy" button. See the second image. If you encounter anything wrong with the question OR explanation - just tap it to let us know. We will review and fix these flagged questions. Thank you !!

Prelims Playground now fully functional on mobiles and tabs. Feels Super Zappy tbh. • Who says UPSC doesn't have favorite topics - seeing through Knowledge graph reveals UPSC's clear bias for certain topics in prelims. • UI has been overhauled for mobile devices. Goes with a very clean and Simple design philosophy we adopted. • Rather than going for a cluttered UI like most coachings who specialise in - throwing useless data/facts at aspirants - we chose simple speedy PYQ practice oriented UI that enhances topic level PYQ practice across different examinations.
