Writing

Documentaries. Search for them. I'll tell you how. I saw "the Devil Came on Horseback" a few days before MAins GS. Please download it and see it. Then read GS question paper. Pl tell me if it is useful or not. There was a question on Sudan. I'm sure i could have written more content than many others.




Confidence cannot be measured keeping in mind GS, Optionals, essay etc. I was confident with my overall effort. There were shockers in the question paper for me too but that doesnt spoil the overall confidence. If question paper shocks me it has to shock many others too isnt it?




@ Liverpudian
1. when to stop reading newspapers( is this the right time to stop),
you said NO magazines... so how many newspapers one requires to cover in general..and how many hours dedicated only for news papers...
2.time management for the remaining 20 odd days..
3.taking test papers(did u do them?)
4.also please list out the documentaries that u saw...it'll help a lot.
5.India yr book by Pub div..did you do this( or other short versions in the market)?..if yes..how many chapters...
6.Indian economic survey..how many chapters..

@all
1. Don't ever stop buddy. Even the news you read on the morning of exam might be of help. And is our aim focussed only on prelims? UPSC clearly knows candidates won't read newspapers during this time. Will it not be attractive for UPSC to test you in this area? So lets continue reading newspapers.
2. Please maintain a small notepad PRECISELY noting down the time you're studying. Will help you slowly increase the duration. It is VERY ESSENTIAL to keep your motivation positive during this time. Rely on inspirational music or movies or whatever. It'll help you plunge and take risks. I attempted 114 questions out of 120 in gs. My score was 75 in GS. If you think back you will know that this is a very good score. Prelims itself will tell your rank. If you sore really well you'll be in top 20.
3. Did a lot of them. Very useful. Pl don't work out questio n paper from worthless institutes. Unable to clear this examination, those useless fellows are cheating you by giving worthless papers. You know what to trust and what not to.
4. A lot of them bro. I have at least 500 of them. UPSC candidates pl develop this hobbies. Go to mv group and download. It is a pastime wherein you get educated about issues important for upsc. So hitting two birds in one stone. Why do you guys ever read geography. Pl go to you tube and type the concepts like plate tectonics. There you'll get audio visual help buddy. MAKE READING A PLEASURABLE EXPERIENCE AND NOT A BURDEN.
