Regularly revise fundamental books like Laxmikant or NCERT as they have answers to most of the questions.
Newspapers are regarded as the most reliable source for staying informed about current affairs. Other than this, magazines are also referred for current affairs.
Firstly, understand the question thoroughly. Particularly in General Studies, one can use logical reasoning to find the correct answer.
Begin by taking mock tests. After completing a mock test, it’s essential to review its solutions thoroughly. Allocate 2-3 rounds of time for this.
Don’t wait until the last minute to prepare for CSAT. Instead, include it in your regular general studies.
Remaining positive is crucial throughout the entire UPSC journey. Sometimes, it may feel overwhelming, and you might feel down. Push negative thoughts aside and keep working hard.
