In past few months, I tried to share #UPSCPrelims Tricks/Tips with aspirants. Initially, I had planned to cover last 5-6 yrs' >100Qs where we can get answer with Logic. But due to work load, I couldn't get time for it.
2021 is mostly coverd. Sharing the remaining Qs of 2020 now.
Economy has a lot of interrelations & interconnections.
In Economy Questions asking about the Reasons, Factors, Causes, Impacts, Effects etc, keep your mind open and think of different logical possibilities.
Elimination of {Options have incorrect statements} & of {Options not having the correct statement} is the most useful strategy to get answer without full knowledge about all the statements.
In a Question with 4 statements & all options having 3 statements, it effectively means that only 1 statement is ❌ & rest 3 are ✔️. You just have to find the ❌ one. Often, 2 statements might be somewhat contradictory, so one of them is ❌.
* In Technology questions, if we (normal humans) can properly imagine the possibility of application of a technology, most likely the Scientists might have already made it a reality.
*Identify & ponder upon all the keywords of a statement
It's a thread for those who couldn't clear #Prelims even after ≥2nd GOOD attempt.

"लगातार कोशिश करते रहो, सफलता जरूर मिलेगी"
Such lines sound good in Motivational videos, but may be disastrous for the life of many #UPSC aspirants.

I know a lot of "erstwhile" aspirants who invested their entire youth (20s & early 30s) in #UPSC preparation, but were left empty-handed after exhausting their age/attempts. Thus, destroying their potentials.
So, realising when to quit this exam is extremely critical.

3 thoughts which prevent aspirants from taking such decision:
💭1. Gambler's Fallacy: "I've invested time & energy for this exam, & have accumulated so much Knowledge. It will all get wasted if I quit. I cannot fail everytime. Better to try once more, probably i will succeed."
"Human-Wildlife Conflict" refers to negative interaction between humans & wild animals, leading to adverse impacts: crop loss, livestock kill, property damage, human injury/death on one hand, & retaliation against wildlife on the other hand.

Human-Wildlife Conflicts (HWC) are becoming more frequent, serious and widespread due to expansion of human populations, development aspirations, climate change and Habitat loss & fragmentation.

HWC Management strategies:
* Prevention: Wildlife Movement Tracking (by Patrolling teams, Drones, Camera Traps, Sensors) & Warning Systems, Community Awareness & Training
* Start from latest (2021), move back
* 1 paper/day
* 3hr alarm; can give 15-20 min extra for initial 3-4 papers
* Give avg 2-3 minutes/Q; Max 3-4 minutes/Q (use Stopwatch)
* Check Ans from Official Key
For Questions you couldn't answer (within 3-4 min) or answered wrong: Check the Solution (from Solved Papers), Understand it, Memorize its methodology.
Ultimately you will know broadly 2 areas of Questions: (1) Manageable/Strong: which you usually solve in <3min, with decent accuracy (2) Unmanageable/Weak: unsolvable for you, or, taking >3min, or, poor accuracy
