Anjum sir has been conducting daily sessions on Habitat and based on those interactions we’ve had with you and our students who were able to clear this exam previously, five things are clear to us.
It’s not study the material, the number of hours, or attempts that matter but the manner of preparation that is going sail you through the prelims exam to Mains and eventually the IAS exam.
What is Sprint Club?
Anjum sir has designed a unique program to cover current affairs and related static for IAS prelims 2021 in a manner that is most suited to your needs and situation.
Till prelims 2021 we are going to have planned sessions to ensure full coverage and revision of current affairs and static related topics for IAS prelims 2021.

Sudhanshu sir will be with you on Habitat at 8:30 pm for the discussion. Till then read about the golden hours and how to utilize them.
Attempting a test is not a one-off activity. By attempting a test you have opened a loop which you have to close subsequently. Else, it’s of no use and your 2 hours’ worth of effort will go in vain.
The first eight hours after any test are ‘golden hours’.
All the questions and the options that were bothering you are still fresh in your mind, some might still be bothering you after the test. It is essential for you to use these hours for paper analysis and dissection. Whatever insights, learnings, and correction that you are going to make within this golden hour, is going to stay with you for a really long time.
I am sure most of you can relate to this and have experienced it when you get a particular question wrong in a test and after realizing how silly of you was to get it wrong, your brain makes a promise to you – “Never ever am I going to repeat such a mistake or get this (or such kind of) question wrong…” and like that.
So, to utilise these golden hours I have a request for those who have attempted and submitted the test, please do this:
Check your registered email’s inbox and find the questions paper + solution.
Sit with the paper for at least 2 hours.
Go through all the questions (correct as well), analyze all the options. Refer to the books and notes if required
Recollect and if possible note down why you marked some question in a particular way (right and wrong or why you left a particular question)
It is a holistically designed crash course for the UPSC IAS prelims exam. To make it more efficient and outcome-oriented we’ve integrated it with Habitat.
