Question : Piling Up Offline And Online Materials: Is It Really Helpful?

Answer :

• The similarity that we see with every case here is that, aspirants are hankering after numerous sources. They look at various websites and download each and every article that come through. In this haste they forget that at the end they will be over-burdened by the information. As the saying goes, ‘Bad money drives out Good’, and thus in this case, Bad information drives out Good information’.
• Most aspirants attempt to cover every resource that is available in the market (visit bookshops, photocopy shops, online portals and collect all available resources). As the material piles up, stress and anxiety are created.
• In the end, the candidate is left behind with a mediocre knowledge, never-ending information and is reading the same information again and again which he might have studied from any previous center- thus wasting his time.
• In order to get an edge over the competitors, instead of focusing on their own strategy and level of preparation, aspirants try to imitate others blindly. In the process, they fail to understand their own strengths and weaknesses.
• They blindly follow others and buying reading materials which they shouldn’t. Aspirants need to understand that everyone has his/her own potential, learning ability, perspective and way of understanding things. So, instead of following others’ strategies, aspirants should analyse their own weaknesses and strengths. They should make their own notes and keep a better understanding of things, what is important and what is not.
