⚠️PRELIMS Tips & FAQs : If you are solving previous year test series material of other various institutes then we can recommend that first you should put a habit of reading recommended newspapers and you should try to pick only that mcqs from that material which are related with the topics in the news.

Many times it happens that upsc frames mcqs on history, economy, polity etcs. which are solely based on the topics in news.

Also cover PREVIOUS YEAR UPSC QUESTIONS atleast 2_3 times.

*It will give you an idea of what to skip and what to read helping you developing your own instinct.

* You will also get to know that what has been asked already and what is left to be asked. So that you can be selective while making your own notes.

Also cover atleast 5 years previous year question of cds, capf, nda and ese exams. Every time you will find atleast 1_2 questions or some statements in cse mcqs from above mentioned exam papers.

♦️Apart from above 30+ out of total 40+ MCQs  were just covered from the statements of our MCQs alone in Prelims 2022. Rest 10+ were covered from explanation of MCQs.

Covering 40+ MCQs in UPSC PRELIMS from test series is a much more tedious work as compared to covering it from NOTES as notes are bulky, broader and anything can be included in it while mcqs have few statements and their short explanation which are also easy to read and cover

And you can see here 👉(CLICK HERE) alone few statements of our MCQs have been sufficient enough to solve the 40+ MCQs in PRELIMS 2022.

May be we can help you in better preparation within lesser time in affordable condition.

Thank you
