It is not difficult to clear the prelims, follow these things.

Keep the syllabus very short and note down which main topics to study.

Followed the rule of one book, one subject. There is no need to read too many books on any subject.

– Try for current affairs, do not give more than 1 hour to the news paper in a day. If you want, you can also read monthly magazines.

Test series must be followed to prepare for prelims.

One must solve previous year question papers of UPSC.

You can go to the family a few days before the UPSC prelims. You will get mental support.

how to increase motivation level

Many times candidates get demotivated in UPSC exam, so the question is how to stay motivated for 24 hours while preparing for the exam. Divyansh Singh said- “You can never be motivated 24. Motivation is like a wave, in which you will never be motivated and never will be.

Take special care of time management

Divyansh Singh said, “Time management is essential for UPSC exams, many candidates prepare very difficult time tables which are never followed. Anyway, we are human beings, not robots. There is a lot in our life other than exams. There is something else that keeps happening around us. So instead of making a tough time table, set a goal of what to do in the day. I used to do exactly that. Simultaneously, I am adding myself to my study schedule. He also used to take out time for a break. Which is most important.”
