Views about importance of Test series:

Test series are important. It helps in the final exam. You get an idea about what kind of questions can come.

What to focus on for Mains Prep?

  • Work on your writing skills.
  • I wrote point wise so that no repletion is there.
  • The structure is simple- introduction, main body, conclusions.
  • I used facts and figures properly and a solution and way forward. This must be a standard structure for every answer.
  • Try to write in sub headings. This fetches more marks. It becomes easier for the examiner to check.

GS Paper 2- mixture of static and dynamic concepts

  • Laxmikant
  • The Hindu
  • 2nd ARC
  • Regular analysis of govt. policies
  • Draw diagrams were its relevant not unnecessarily

Tips for students:

Be specific with time and don’t compromise on time even if you haven’t covered the word limit.
