To all #UPSC aspirants

The last 50 days should be a sprint.

What does it mean?

1. Basic subjects: Revising all the basic subjects at least for 3 times. If this has to happen, then stop allocating more than 5 days for any subject. Be aware of 2 traps here
(1/7)

#UPSC2023

Trap 1: I am a fresher so I need more days to finish a subject. Irrespective of you being a fresher or not, by now you would’ve read the subject at least twice. So stop making excuses and push.

Trap 2: Wanting to be perfect in the subject. Perfection comes through iteration so don’t sit on one subject for many days. (3/7)

2. Integrate current affairs in ur studies. Reading any one magazine will do. Read that magazine many times.

Some students read the relevant current affairs after they finish a specific subject. Some others treat current affairs itself as a subject & complete it in 5 days.(4/7)

Both the strategies are fine. Adopt whichever is easy for you.

3. Last 50 days, start with your FLTs. For 30 days, take the test every third day. So you’ll be completing 10 test. For the next 10 days, take a test every 2nd day. So that’ll be 15 FLTs.

Last 10 days, don’t solve test series but solve PYQs of UPSC from 2022-2014.

It is important to solve UPSC PYQs in the last 10 days
(A). To internalise the language of UPSC papers
(B). To get your mind to think and not just recollect.

(C). UPSC doesn’t set traps as coaching institutes. UPSC questions will always have clues to deduce an answer. Find them.

Stop the marathon. Start the sprint.
