    Students,

    Around 80% of students scored below 100 in our basic polity test in their first attempt. This test was a part of our Prime Test Series.

    Now, this test is not a very advanced level exam. It tries to examine basic facts given in Laxmikanth. Yet many students forget them. It happens to most of us, who cannot remember all those details in first and second reading.

    This is where tests help us.

    They provide a reality check and force you to go back to books. Now you identify which portions are crucial and thus important for Prelims. Next time you sit for a polity test – you’ll be better prepared, more vigilant about figures and facts and have the knowledge of Tikdams with you.

    Incidentally, you’ll get around 600 of these over the course of 32 tests.

  • The biggest reason to join Mains Guidance Program

    Click here to view the schedule + detailed syllabus with sources

    Click here to know the features and enroll.


    We are the only program where you don’t have to raise a ticket to talk to a mentor.

    We are known to provide individual attention to students. We have further standardized our program. Now students can schedule a call within 2 days of receiving their checked copies by replying back to us with their availabilities. We have kept it 2 days so that your mentors can easily recall your attempt.

    This is the biggest reason why you should join our TS. Major issues with your attempt will be highlighted and your improvement will be tracked in subsequent tests.

     


    Besides, we have innovated on every aspect of the exam.

    1. Question Formulation 

    Our questions will now specifically state the following

    >Whether they are straightforward or thought-provoking/analytical.

    >Whether they have subparts.

    >Why this question – similar previous year questions, the importance of the theme, etc.

    CD Innovation – Rather than the regular uninspiring questions, we have gone the extra mile and crafted unique, intellectually-stimulating questions. These will reward analytical ability and critical thinking. These questions will be marked with a ‘star’.

    2. Answer Checking 

    Answer-copy evaluation in the industry has become stagnant. The focus is restricted to superficial, memory-based lapses rather than on analytical excellence and cross-domain inter-linkages.

    Our stress will be on the following –

    1. Superior introduction and conclusion.

    2. Usage of subject-specific vocabulary.

    3. Articulation proficiency.

    4. Substantiating evidence like Government and International Reports and Indices.

    5. Prominent and contemporary examples.

    Thorough answer checking with oversight of rankers like Dr. Vipin Garg(AIR 20), Swapnil Pawar (AIR 525)

    > Alternate introductions
    > Sub-headings and categorization to enhance readability and answer structure.
    > Color coding for main arguments, reports, data, scholars, etc.
    > OTB – *Out of the box points for additional marks* 

    4. Video Discussion

    There will be a  video discussion after every test where the mentor will discuss how you can write the best answers to the questions asked in the test. Mentors will also be sharing answer writing strategy with students so that they can gain extra marks in Mains

    5. Telegram Group

    We believe in constant guidance and support approach and therefore we will provide a dedicated telegram group for students of the module where they can have peer discussions as well as doubt clearance via mentors.

    The group will also have toppers who will personally guide the students. The students can always raise there preparation related query in the group.

    6. Magazines, listicles and other relevant study material

    Supplementary content provided will be helpful in covering multiple related questions.

  • Why should you study S.M.A.R.T. and how our Programs can help you?

    Prime TS -> View the Schedule – Click2View. Accepting admissions – Click2Join


    Out of lakhs of candidates, only 10K make it. Why do some people clear prelims with ease year after year and others fail to do so? Read on

    Our analysis shows that candidates who study S.M.A.R.T. clear prelims easily while people who slog too hard sometimes miss out. What do we mean by S.M.A.R.T. Study?

    S.M.A.R.T. Study means being your best on the day of the Prelims, not before that, not after. But on the D Day. How to do this? Follow this mantra –

    SSyllabus completion. No excuses for leaving out Enviro or Art and Culture. Pick one source for each part and revise it again and again.

    MManage your time. Do not start preparation of Prelims in full flow in December or January. Study 2 hours in these months and devote rest of the time to Mains prep. You should focus fully on prelims from March onwards.

    AAnalyse. If you are first timer, analyse your test series to see where you make mistakes. If you are an experienced candidate, analyse your tests as well as previous attempts. Focus on weak areas that are remedied easily. Use TIKDAMS to solve seemingly tricky questions.

    RRevise. Remember what Bruce Lee said – I am not afraid of the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks but I am afraid of a man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. Keep revising your chosen sources.

    Test Series. Are you giving a test series that covers the whole syllabus, that gives you practice at different levels of preparation – basic and advanced.

    Are you solving a test series that provided detailed explanations and essentially serves as notes for your preparation. If NOT, now is a good time to look at CD’s Prime and Advanced Test Series.

  • Here’s why you need to revise – Dont regret missing out on questions you could’ve answered correctly

    Civil Services has an infinite syllabus. If you don’t constrain yourself then practically everything under the sun and beyond is relevant for the exam.

    No matter how much you prepare, you will not feel it is adequate. You will never get a feeling that I have read enough to ace the exam. That’s why you need to develop a different perspective to look at your preparation.

    Define a cut-off date and revise. Revise and more revise. It is important to be able to recall and reproduce what you have studied so far. You won’t regret missing out on questions you have no clue about. But you will regret missing questions that you had knowledge about but weren’t able to recall during the exam.

    To prevent such a mishap, you absolutely need to join a revision course that covers everything. At the same time, testing yourself is very important. Attempting mock tests will help you fine tune your preparation.

  • 5 things successful candidates do and so should you!

    Prime TS -> View the Schedule – Click2View. Accepting admissions – Click2Join


    What are the 5 things candidates do that makes them cross the Prelims Hurdle? Read on

    A. They solve thousands of Questions before the D Day. This way almost 70% of the questions in the paper are related in some way or the other to their practice questions. Remember solving 55-60 questions correctly gets you over the line in prelims. So how do you go about solving questions?

    Easy. Join a Test Series that provides you 3200 unique questions so that you walk into the exam hall with the confidence of a Gladiator.

    B. They Revise. Never underestimate the power of repetition. Stick to limited sources and keep revising until you see the lines of the book in your dreams.

    C. They peak at the right time. Some people after failing at prelims, start preparing for the next prelims immediately after the result. WRONG MOVE. Prelims is like a 100-meter race. Usain Bolt doesn’t run the whole year to prepare for 100-meter races. He paces himself. Much like him, you have to pace your study. Start with 2-hour stretches in Jan/Feb and devote fully to prelims by March.

    D. Coverage of the Whole Syllabus. Gone are the times when you could leave Environment and still make it. With Forest services clubbed in prelims, coverage is important. You should have one source for each part of the syllabus.

    E. They analyze and get better with time. None of the successful candidates starts scoring 120+in their first test. Some start with 40s , some with 60s and so on. The point is to go over the line on D Day. Always analyze your attempted tests and see where you went wrong, what you could have done better. Then do it.

    Successful candidates see multiple sub 100 scores in practice and refuse to get bogged down by them. So don’t despair and follow these 5 steps.
