To all #UPSC aspirants

Many students complain that, when they are reading the books the second time, they feel like they have forgotten everything what they had studied the first time.

Read this thread to find out the reason and how to eliminate that feeling. (1/5)

The reason why you feel this way is because of your expectation to be perfect.

You are expecting to know every line just by reading the book once or twice. This expectation is itself wrong.

Then how to go about it. (2/5)

Firstly, ur clarity of concepts comes thru several iterations of reading the same sources. So expecting to get clarity on all concepts in the first or second round itself is being unfair to oneself.
As u read the same source many times, ur grip over the subject strengthens.(3/5)

Secondly, many students think prelims is the game of memory. But it is not. Prelims is the game of familiarity.

What does it mean? (4/5)

It means, in prelims, we need to be familiar will all the topics.

Since our job is to choose the correct answer from the 4 options, don’t force ur mind to memorise everything, just familiarise.

SO READ for PRELIMS TO FAMILIARISE AND NOT MEMORISE. (5/5)
