Introduction

If you want to be successful in UPSC exam, then you must have a proper preparation strategy. The best way to prepare for the examination is by following some simple tips and tricks which will help you in achieving your goals.

Know the UPSC exam pattern and syllabus thoroughly. 

When you are preparing for the exam, it is very important to know the UPSC examination pattern and syllabus thoroughly. The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), which prepares all the UPSC examinations, publishes a detailed guidebook on its website that gives information about different sections and topics related to each section. A few days before your test date, check if there is any change in these details so that you can prepare accordingly.

UPSC Exam Pattern & Syllabus

The pattern consists of four sections with two papers each: Reasoning Ability Test (RAT) with 80 marks; General Studies Test consisting of 25 questions; Logical Reasoning Test consisting of 50 questions; Verbal Ability Test consisting of 20000 plus questions spread over two hours with no negative marking system or penalty points available at all stages except English Language Paper 2 where candidates may submit supplementary answers in their own language after getting 70% marks at Stage 1 only if they do not qualify otherwise

Prepare in a step-by-step manner.

Preparing in a step-by-step manner will make it easy for you to get through each stage of preparation. The best way to prepare is by making a time table, which consists of all the subjects that you need to study and their respective chapters.

You should also make sure that your revision plan has been designed in such a way that there are no gaps between one chapter and another. This can be done by dividing your syllabus into two parts: first part covers topics from previous years and second part covers topics from current exam year (2018-19). You must also keep track of how much time you spend every day studying each subject or chapter so as not go overboard with too many hours per week; otherwise, this might lead towards burnout syndrome!

Revise regularly.

• Revise regularly. Make sure you’re revising your notes before every exam, mock test and mock practice session.

• Start with a quick review of the most important topics in each chapter. Then go through each topic again in more detail after a few days or weeks of studying.

• If you have time before an exam, write down some conclusions about what you’ve learned from reading each chapter so far—these will help guide your thinking during the exam!

Take mock tests regularly.

Mock tests are very important. They can be a good way to find out your strengths and weaknesses, as well as help identify problem areas.

Mock tests also provide an opportunity to improve on your preparation strategies after the preliminary test, which may not have been sufficient for achieving success at that time.

Before you start preparing, find out what stage you are in and then prepare accordingly.

It is important to know where you are in your preparation so that you can plan accordingly. There are three stages of preparation:

• Stage 1 – You have just begun studying for the UPSC but have not started preparing yet. You need to do some research on topics related to civil services, government policies and methods of governance etc., as well as learn about other fields like history, economics etc., which will help with understanding civil services better. This stage should last for about one month or so until exam time arrives (you could also use this time period for writing some exams).

• Stage 2 – After completing all your Stage 1 material, it’s now time for some more advanced study materials such as A Passage Through India by E M Forster (which has been recommended by many experts), An Introduction To Political Economy By B C Chandrasekharan (another book) etc.. This stage should last around six months or so until exam time arrives again (more than half way through).

• Stage 3 – This final phase involves reading books that deal specifically with UPSC questions/topics at hand: Questions Papers & Strategies 2013-14; Books That Teach Civil Services Preparation Methods And Techniques; Booklets Of Essay Writing Technique For Competitive Exams And Other Subjects…
