But remember, without Prelims clearness there is no way for UPSC Mains.
So, take your Prelims exam seriously.
Do not understatement the Prelims it’s not that much easy as you think and this is the only way which shows you the gate of UPSC Mains exam.
It’s not wrong if I say that Prelims are more tuff than Mains.
If you will not achieve the cut-off score (in prelim).
Then you will not be allowed to attempt the Mains exam.
Because, only 6 out of 200 students who sit for Prelims, get the cut-off marks.
So I will suggest that do not over-focus on the Mains exam till the time you have not to clear your Prelims.
Right, Strategy for your Prelims Exam!

So, It’s not that they are not prepared enough or not prepare at all, we lose them because might be they are not following the right way of study or the correct strategy which required.
You need a strong strategic plan which makes you perfect in 6 months for your Premils Exam.
Let’s started.
Strategy #1 – How to cover NCERT Texts books Faster (Most Important)
In UPSC preparation NCERT books (from Class 6-12) are very fundamental.
You will get the basic information under these books however, it’s important.
Apart from NCERT, you have other more books which you need to cover in 6 months only.
So what to do?
Online various websites are available who will provide you the NCERT based Mock Exams test series. In those tests, you will see almost 700+ important questions.
Also, online study materials are available which will cover lots of topics in a few hours.
It’s important because it will make your basic strong.

Just imagine you have the last few days of your exam then what will you prefer to do.
Mine’s suggestion is to move back and approaches the last UPSC prelims question papers.
After a few days, you will be able to analyze the specific zone through which questions are coming. You have to reverse these topics. And soon you will become a master.
Let’s see the UPSC (General paper I) question areas. The number of question Vs UPSC Syllabus area.

Strategy #3 – Do not forget your CSAT Paper (Most Important)
CSAT Exam paper is crucial. You have to score at list 66 marks out of 200 (GS Paper 2).
I will suggest covering the previous UPSC CSAT question paper.
Many students who score well in GS1. Usually, do not give required focus on a second paper and because of that, they get out from the final list.
UPSC clearly says that candidates are out if they don’t have 66+ marks in his GS Paper 2.
So after clear the 1st cut-off, you need to focus on maths, comprehension.
If we talk about CSAT (GS Paper 2) Syllabus:
- General Mental ability.
- Basic numeracy (numbers relationship and orders of magnitude, etc.)
- Analytical Ability
- Communication skill

Data Interpretation Number of Question 27
Logical Reasoning Number of Question 17
Comprehension Number of Question 28
Decision Making & Interpersonal Skills Number of Question 6
General Mental Ability Number of Question 7
Basic Numeracy Number of Question 11
Total of 80 Qns (2.5*80=200)
I have made this table for GS Paper 2 understanding purpose. To provide you the idea of the exam paper.
