How to practice UPSC Mains answer writing?

About: Can I read the solution first while doing answer writing and then write the answer? Is there any problem with that?

This is the most common question I get regarding answer writing. Because answer writing is the most hated part of Civil Services exam preparation. It takes a lot of effort, and even then you may end up with a poor answer, which doesn’t feel good about yourself.

Doing this, if you are just starting, is absolutely fine. But in the long run, I would highly recommend that you don’t look at solutions before writing the answers. Why? Because here we are using a memory technique called generation. The idea is very simple: whenever I run my mind, I force my brain to generate those points with regard to a question that I have not seen before. I’m forcing it to interconnect different topics. But when I read the answer, those connections don’t get formed automatically. I’m just regurgitating the knowledge that I have already gained.

So, if you’re just starting, it’s fine to look at the solution and then write the answer. But in the long run, don’t look at them, and that will be the best way to practice. All the best.

UPSC Civil Services Exam is one of the most prestigious exams in the country. It has three parts, the Prelims exam, the Main exam and the Personality test, which you need to clear in order to become an IAS or IPS officer. All other Group A services of the Government of India recruit people through the UPSC Civil services exam itself and because of this, there is a lot of competition in this exam. Hence, your UPSC preparation should be strategic, informed and well planned.

Your UPSC preparation should not be based on blind adherence to any program. Rather you should give a thought about how your are preparing. The best way to go forward is to study the blogs and tips given by previous year toppers about how to go about UPSC CSE for all three stages of UPSC Prelims, UPSC Mains and the Personality test also known as the UPSC Interview, and then make your UPSC preparation strategy accordingly.

Doing static subjects like polity, economy, environment, geography and history for your UPSC preparation is a solid bet to increase your chances of clearing this exam. But this must all be supplemented by current affairs for best effect.
