Question : How Should You Start As A Beginner?

Answer :

As a beginner, starting from point zero, one can buy previous years question paper module and attempt some questions daily, moreover the questions from NCERT too will help.
Start writing answers as and when you study, don’t wait for the whole or even sufficient amount of syllabus to be finished.
Say you are studying polity and finished President, soon after, check previous years’ papers on this topic and try to answer as many questions as you wish, you could pick a single question that is the easiest for you and start answering on a piece of paper. You might not be able to answer questions that involve president and the prime minister as you wouldn’t have covered the latter yet. You can skip such questions for later.

Evaluation is Necessary

Evaluation to your answers is necessary. Otherwise, why write an answer at all! Write answers in online forums or by joining a test series.
Go for peer to peer feedback. In this way, you can know different writing styles of your fellow aspirants. Some might think that posting answers on the website is of no use when their answers are not getting any feedback from fellow aspirants.
One solution to overcome this problem is that first you must start giving feedback to others’ answers – which is genuine, detailed and constructive. You can create a peer group in which you can discuss your questions and answers and get feedback. Some people also make a summary of their answers and that is also a good idea but it should be very summary and not a full-fledged note.
One should also show the answers to seniors and friends who got selected or have good scores in papers. That always helps. Websites are a good source of reviews too. If you do this regularly, it not only benefit in answer writing but also help you in many ways.
Giving right feedback is akin to helping a friend in need. It is an act of both camaraderie and empathy (yes, it is). It helps assess your own writing. It might motivate others to start giving similar feedback.
