How to Utilize Your Time between Prelims and Mains?

This is one of the most crucial stages in CSE preparation. You should judiciously utilize this time to gain a competitive advantage. The following tips will help you in this regard.

• Begin Quickly: Don't wait for the results to come; start your Mains preparation right after the Prelims. Even if you believe you won't be able to pass, study anyhow! This hard work won't go in vain!
• Timetable: Create a schedule and make every effort to follow it! Tell yourself again and over again that you have to act now. Now or never, we say!
• Now's not the time to read brand-new books: Reduce new reading as much as you can, with the exception of current affairs, and REVISE, REVISE, REVISE!
• Mock Tests: Practise at least 12 sample tests for the optional courses and 30 mock tests for the GS.

Remember, people who clear mains or who fail in it are more or less at par in terms of knowledge. What matters is if they can deliver in those 3 hours, day after day. And the only way one can do is to practice mock after mock in exam like situation! Do not waste time in brooding over low marks in mock tests. Just note down your errors and move on as swiftly as possible.
