2. Revision is key and he cannot stress this enough. Revise the daily lessons, and have a weekly and monthly revision schedule. Only by revising can you remember more things.
3. Try to section the syllabus according to your interest. Assign more time to sections that you are weak in. Assign a big chunk of your preparation time to your UPSC OPTIONAL. Do not choose your optional based on popular opinion but your area of interest alone.
4. There is no alternative to practice when it comes to answer writing. Regular answer writing will improve your answers drastically. Read UPSC Topper’s Answers in order to gain a fair idea of how to structure and stylize your answers for the best result.

5. Newspapers are a must for current affairs. Monthly magazines are a revision tool. Use NCERT Books to supplement the background information needed in order to understand a certain piece of news for better results.
