Key Preparation Insights

• ✓*Keyword-based approach**: I solved the UPSC previous year question papers keyword wise, like all the assumption questions together, all the inference questions together, etc. This helped me to identify patterns and improve my speed.
• ✓I would make a list of all the keywords and phrases that I needed to focus on.
• ✓I would then practice questions related to those keywords and phrases.
• ✓I would also make sure to review and revise my notes regularly.
• ✓*Regular practice**: I consistently wrote one 10-marker and one case study every day for two months before the Mains. This regular practice significantly improved my writing skills and helped me to stay focused.
• ✓I would allocate a specific time slot for writing practice every day.
