NAMAN GOYAL'S UPSC PREPARATION STRATEGY

HIS PRELIMS STRATEGY

He used to have at least read all his self prepared notes and current affairs in the last 3 to 4 days. He advised the aspirants, only revise at the moment, don't read anything new. He used to focus on revision of the static portion because the static portion is rewarding and predictable. During the exam stick to your strategy, don't change it at the last moment.

Most importantly, he suggested reading every word of the question paper carefully. Many questions can be solved just by reading each word and also by using elimination techniques.

CONSOLIDATE THE CURRENT AFFAIRS FOR GS AND OPTIONAL BOTH

He used to read Newspaper daily. He has always followed the 'The Hindu' newspaper. He used to make the notes (online mode) of the newspaper subject wise. He also followed the monthly magazine and Vision 365. He used to add the current affairs notes to his static notes. For optional, he used to follow Kosmos of Edukemy and newsletter of Guidance IAS.

PRACTICE MORE AND MORE

Naman advised the aspirants before appearing in the actual exam; take mock practice examinations for both the prelims and the mains. This will definitely help you to develop confidence and expertise in appropriately structuring your responses.  He said, "Do not worry if any topic appears difficult for you and you become stuck; think it through. Surely, you will gain insight on how to learn that specific idea."

At last he advised the aspirants to stay motivated and positive because it is a very long journey, and one needs to have a positive mind set to stay focused during all the three stages.

Naman wishes you all the best for your preparation. Good luck.

FOCUS ON SMALL IMPORTANT THINGS LIKE WEEKLY TIMETABLE AND DAILY TARGETS

Bhavishya said his study schedule was much disciplined. If you are preparing for the Civil Services you will understand that you could lose your dreams if you don't have a plan.

Always write the answers in a structured manner. Try to give a proper introduction and conclusion in your answers; it is a very important part of the answer. Be aware of the word limits; try not to exceed the word limits. And write answers in legible handwriting, using charts, diagrams wherever required, as the presentation of your answers matters. 

STAY FOCUSED

Preparation for an UPSC Exam can be a very daunting task especially in the beginning. Divide things into a manageable schedule and don’t worry about getting things perfect the first time. Remember that nothing is life or death. Bhavishya advised the aspirants to try to understand the “ Big Picture if you’re having trouble understanding the concept and this will make the details easier to understand.
