Preparation Strategy for Beginners

We find that a steady, simple plan works best. Small daily steps beat long, tiring days. Make a plan that includes reading, practice, mocks, and revision, and stick to it. Consistency wins more than last-minute efforts.

Step-by-Step Plan

First 2 to 3 months: Build basics. Focus on grammar, basic maths, daily news and static GK.

Next month: Start solving previous year papers, take sectional mocks and full tests. This builds speed and confidence. Using previous year question papers gives a clear idea of question types and difficulty.

Weekly Routine

• Study 2 to 3 hours daily.
• Read current affairs every day.
• Revise weak topics each weekend.
• Take 2 or 3 mock tests weekly.

Short, regular sessions help memory and reduce stress.

Section-wise Preparation Tips

1. English Language

Read simple editorials, practice comprehension, and build vocabulary slowly. Small daily practice helps more than long sessions.

2. General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Keep a small notebook for legal news and government updates. Review monthly notes and follow trusted current affairs sources.

3. Computer Basics

Study basic computer books and practice MCQs on software and internet use. Practice common shortcuts and MS Office questions.

4. Quantitative and Logical Reasoning

Start with easy arithmetic, then move to puzzles and data sets. Always time your practice to improve speed.

Recommended Resources

Some helpful books and sources are:

• Wren and Martin; Word Power Made Easy for English
• Samarth Agarawal’s Law Preparation Books for focused MCQs and exam practice

• Solve previous year papers to learn the question style
  

Mock Tests, Past Papers and Revision

Mocks show us the real paper pattern and time limits. After each mock, we check mistakes, revise those topics, and try again. Regular revision of the full syllabus keeps knowledge fresh. Use past papers to track progress and focus on weak areas.

Day-of-Exam Tips

What to Carry

• Admit card
• Valid photo ID
• A simple pen if rules allow

Do not bring banned items into the exam hall. Keep a printed copy of the admit card and your registration receipt if needed.

How to Attempt

Start with the section we know best. Skip long questions first and return later. Keep an eye on time and stay calm. Trust your practice and avoid last-minute panic.
