Every year, thousands of veteran aspirants fall into the same trap, reading more but scoring less.

I was one of them. Despite multiple serious attempts, I couldn’t push my GS marks beyond average.

What finally changed everything wasn’t more books or new notes, it was a change in system.
Through Smash Mains, I learned how to unlearn my old ways, rebuild my answer writing from scratch, and focus only on what UPSC actually rewards.

In this session, I will share how I made a 40 mark jump in GS, broke the plateau, and finally secured my IPS rank.

Akash Rai, IPS, AIR 339, UPSC CSE 2024

What I will cover (practical, no fluff):

1. The Veteran Trap, and How to Escape It

• The illusion of “I know everything” that keeps repeaters stuck.
• Why reading more and revising harder still doesn’t improve your marks.
• The 3 writing habits that silently reduce your GS score.

2. My Smash Mains Framework for 40+ Marks Improvement

• How structured feedback and theme based writing changed my approach.
• The Microtheme Strategy, how to connect content across GS papers.
• How I learned to write with purpose, every line adding value.

3. Learning the UPSC Evaluator’s Lens

• What evaluators actually look for in a high quality answer.
• How to move from fact rich to idea rich writing.
• Mistakes I made in early attempts, and what finally clicked in the last one.

4. How to Apply This for UPSC 2026/27

• The roadmap to rebuild your GS answer writing in 60 days.
• Integrating PYQs, model answers, and revision cycles effectively.
• How to use Smash Mains to create a clear feedback and improvement loop.
