Here are a few things to remember if you are writing the #UPSC Mains 2022 tomorrow or in the future.

A thread 🧵:

• READ THE QUESTION(a few times!)

When we’re stressed,we tend to miss the finer details while reading. Keep calm & read the question and its sub-parts a few times(even while writing).

READ. UNDERSTAND. WRITE.

Don’t regret that you lost marks coz you didn’t read properly!

• BE AWARE OF THE TIME :

Remember to keep track of time.
Carry a wrist watch.
In Essays - keep a few minutes to brainstorm & only then start writing.
It’s a race against time.
There have been several talented individuals who haven’t cleared only coz they couldn’t complete!

The #UPSC Mains Exam is the most important stage & can be the determining factor that influences the final outcome.
One of the easiest but oft-ignored methods to ensure a high overall score is to work hard at the Essay.

What are the mistakes to avoid in an Essay?
Thread 2 🧵:

•LACKING CLARITY:

In the introduction, you must state your thesis- your opinion regarding the topic/issue.

Thus, do not show ambivalence in the essay or deviate from your stand that you have emphatically taken in the beginning.

Do not contradict yourself or your ideas.

•ARTIFICIAL/ILLOGICAL LINKAGES:

Eg: Para 1: The problem of malnourishment can be solved by implementing the recommendations of X committee.

•Para 2: Additionally, man has made giant strides towards setting up a colony on Mars.

✅Ensure a smooth & logical flow throughout.

The #UPSC Mains Exam is the most important stage & can be the determining factor that influences the final outcome.
One of the easiest but oft-ignored methods to ensure a high overall score is to work hard at the Essay Paper.

How to write a top-scoring essay?
A thread 🧵:

•READ THE UPSC NOTIFICATION:

Didn’t expect that, did you?
First learn what is expected by UPSC & then act upon it.

“Candidates may be required to write essays on multiple topics.”

Thus, be aware of multiple topics. How do we ensure that?
READ!
Develop a reading habit- read fiction & non-fiction books, broaden your horizons, learn to think & analyse all that you read.
Reading diverse books will also help you collect a rich array of examples!

Sometimes in life,we tend to self-sabotage or delay the successful accomplishment of a task. As a #UPSC student or even otherwise,one needs to be self-aware in order to avoid certain traps/traits.

Here are 10 ways that you may be sabotaging/delaying your success:

A thread 🧵:

UNDER-CONFIDENCE:
Being plagued by self-doubts, we may constantly wonder if we possess the abilities to succeed. This stops us from channelling all our energy & focus into our goals.

ANTIDOTE:
Have faith in yourself first. Trust yourself. Remember confidence is half-success!

“Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities!Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.”- Norman Vincent Peale
