Srinagar, March 26: VisionIAS Abhyaas Prelims 2023 is an excellent opportunity for aspirants to prepare themselves for the UPSC Civil Services Examination that is scheduled to be held on May 28, 2023, the coaching institute said.
In a press release, the institute has given a 60-day roadmap to success in the UPSC Prelims 2023.
The UPSC Civil Services Examination is one of the most prestigious exams in India with lakhs of aspirants striving to find a place in the final merit list each year. The exam is conducted in three stages – Prelims, Mains, and Personality Test. With the Prelims Exam to be held on 28th May 2023, the remaining sixty days necessitate a smart and efficient preparation strategy. This exam evaluates aspirants on various aspects of examination such as their general knowledge, mental agility, critical thinking, analytical skills, memory, application of knowledge, time management, and other relevant factors.”
To crack the prelims exam, it is important for the aspirants to focus on effective revision, practicing mock tests in a simulated UPSC-like environment, outcome-oriented performance analysis, time management and an optimized plan of learning and its execution.
Effective revision helps students comprehend and internalize concepts, its application, build long-term memory, and develop analytical thinking. This ultimately converts information into knowledge which is greatly facilitated by solving mock papers and previous year questions.
The practice of UPSC-standard questions is an integral part of an effective strategy for improved performance in the exam. This helps aspirants to understand the types of questions, difficulty level, and need for time management. It also helps aspirants to identify their strengths and weaknesses.
Performance analysis enables a candidate to work on their weak areas by revising the concepts and solving more questions on those topics. Aspirants should also work on their time management skills to maximize their attempts in the exam.
A well thought out and researched action plan gives a definite path to improvement for the students while simultaneously optimizing their time and effort. It should consist of a time-sensitive, realistic, flexible, and accommodative study plan that includes revision, practice, and post-test analysis in a cyclical manner.
In a short span of time, students are expected to prepare and revise the entire syllabus, including current affairs, while appearing in Tests and discussions. On the date of examination, the available time has to be used intelligently to identify and solve those questions that can increase the likelihood of selection. Thus, time management becomes a critical factor in the Prelims examination.
Abhyaas Prelims 2023 is an excellent opportunity for aspirants to assess themselves on aforementioned parameters and identify and improve upon the lacunae in their preparation.
The initiative is designed to simulate the UPSC Prelims-like environment covering the entire syllabus with GS and CSAT tests being conducted on the same date. It is held across 170+ cities in the country in the offline mode. The schedule of the tests (2nd April, 23rd April, and 7th May) provides aspirants with sufficient time to improve and reassess their preparation.
The All-India Ranking provides comparative standing among peers and acts as an added motivation for students to improve upon their ranking in the subsequent tests. The post-test live discussion and data-driven performance analysis provides tangible inputs on their performance and ways to improve upon it. Further, by becoming a part of the dynamic mentoring ecosystem at VisionIAS, students can avail guidance and support from experienced mentors to fine-tune their preparation.
Consequently, through an iterative process of revising, testing, and improving, aspirants can test their knowledge and validate their preparation strategies.
