Action Plan for UPSC Prelims 2022 in 75 Days?

This is when you must put in your best effort and work smart.

It would be best if you started at the end of any exam, whether it is UPSC or another. Your preparation for UPSC 2022 is complete when you see your name in the pdf. There are three obstacles. It is important to examine the plan using a strategy that was used in the previous.

Interviews with mains and prelims will be the final hurdle. The timeline will be accordingly.

Interview:

Interviews are conducted in the same period as mains, provided that candidates have received appropriate training. As you can see, you have less than three months to complete Mains once you have passed your Preliminary exam. This is not enough time for candidates.

A candidate preparing to take the 2022 Mains exam should also complete the Prelims preparation.

Mains:

• We recommend that aspirants integrate their prelims and main preparation for the first 1-2 months. For mains, we recommend you allocate more time for Optional, then GS Paper III and then GS Paper II in that order.
• Write two answers to each optional question every day. Two for GS. It is important to show it to your mentor or someone you trust every day/once a week so that they can provide trusted feedback.

Prelims:

• Knowing each subject's basics well, you can build a solid foundation.
• You can read a newspaper, preferably the Hindu, religiously (only focusing on the exam angle).
• Preliminary preparations are now closed. Preliminary exams will be held in April 2022.
• Register now for a series of tests.

We assume you have read all the NCERTs and the basics. Here are some basic hacks you can use for the remaining 75 days.

• Follow the syllabus FIRST! Now is the time to ensure that you have completed the syllabus. You can finish any unfinished topics quickly or create a plan to go along with your current preparation.
• Test Series! To get evaluated, it is time to join a test series. This will allow you to self-assess, which is a vital thing to do. One test per day will lead to 7500 answers before D-day.
• Previous year's question papers! Review the last ten years' papers, and then SOLVE them with proper test setup (e.g. timing, etc.)
• Stick to your timetable and follow the instructions!
• Study in conjunction with the exam timings. Avoid sleeping at noon, and be active between 9 AM and 5 PM.
• Daily learning should include Current Affairs and Revision, as well as question papers, tests, and questions.
• Revise, Revise! The most important thing that often gets lost is the last leg. Three sessions of revision are required: One in the morning to review the topics of the previous day; second, at any hour of the day, to review the topics of last week's most volatile topics/facts etc. and finally, third, at night before bed to revise the topics of that day.
• Although it may seem excessive, it will not consume much time since the first session was the one that was the last day's revision. It's extremely useful for candidates.
• For all subjects, go through your NOTES.
• Avoid meeting gatherings like marriages, friends meet-ups etc.
• Take care of your health. Taking care of your health is important, as Covid cases are on the rise.
• Minimum of 7-8 hours sleep. Do not try to compensate for sleep.
