Question : How To Balance Our Approach In Answers?

Answer :

For a balanced answer that too within the specified word limit -you first need a reasonable level of knowledge base.

• First read and learn a topic. Attempt simple questions, commit mistakes again and again while practicing. Practice makes it perfect.
• When a question is asked to present your views, try to give a generalist’s view. Sometimes you need not to give your suggestion, but you are expected to present existing facts in the present context. For example,instead of writing ‘I feel’, it is better to write ‘it is felt….’
• If they are asking what innovation means, then a simple definition with one relevant example will be better rather than explaining it with a lot of jargons/theories/models.
• Also, while writing for a particular paper do not think that you can write points from that particular syllabus only. Take a holistic view, broaden your outlook, and use relevant concepts/knowledge from other subjects also.
• Communication skill, command over a language, etc. are known as soft skills. A good vocabulary is needed to articulate your thought in a precise manner.

Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) Many aspirants suffer from the fear of missing out phenomenon. They think that they are missing out on the preparation and lagging behind everyone. They think, they are lagging behind due the coaching that their fellow aspirants are taking. They feel that they are lagging behind in terms of books, their peers are reading; and also, lagging behind in various resources. In all, they lose the main focus- that is studying - due to this syndrome. They go for multiple coaching,test series, and various resources, which in the end prove useless, because such people always complain about lack oftime. What they didn’t realize that it was not the lack of time but their folly to be at par with everyone which was a huge mistake.
