Despite working hard,if things didnât work out, itâs natural to be upset. But failure isnât the end. You just missed accomplishing a task. An exam isnât life & it doesnât determine your identity.

If youâre planning to take another attempt: ANALYSE your mistakes, improve upon your weaknesses & speak to a mentor for the right guidance.

Weâre here with thread 3 on how to #AceTheMains in the #UPSC exam. #Upscprelims2022 was a screening test only & the marks obtained in it arenât counted for determining the final order of merit.The real test is the Mains stage with 1750 marks. How to write a great answer?A thread
As per the 71st annual report released by #UPSC, 574980 aspirants appeared for CS(P) including IFoS(P),11474 candidates appeared in CS Mains 2019,2302 made it to the interview & finally 922 were recommended. To be one among the 2000+ candidates, your answers must stand out. How?
1. USE TIMELINES:
Whenever youâre showing a chronology of events (Eg.: independence movements or the evolution of art in GS1 or how a doctrine evolved in GS2 or how technology progressed,etc.) draw a simple timeline- showing the progression of years & associated events. Simple?

Weâre here with thread 2 on how to #AceTheMains in the #UPSC exam. #Upscprelims2022 was a means to filter out aspirants,the marks arenât counted once one qualifies.The real game which determines your rank is the Mains stage with 1750 marks. How to write a great answer? A thread:
1. Read the question. Sounds basic? Youâll be surprised at how many misread the question,fail to read all parts of it or just donât understand what is asked. Read it twice & keep circling back to it while writing your answer. Be relevant & answer what is asked. Not many do that.
2. Your best guide, again? The #UPSC syllabus copy! Write down a simple 3 line definition of every topic & add them to your notes. This will greatly help in giving an introduction quickly in any answer, rather than wasting time thinking during the exam. Time is scarce & precious.
Now that #UPSCPrelims2022 is done & dusted,itâs time to head back into the preparation mode with renewed vigour after a well-deserved break.Irrespective of the cut-offs, if youâre giving this or the next #UPSC attempt,itâs time to prepare for Mains. How to ace the mains?Thread 1:
1. Read the #UPSC notification. Didnât expect that, did you? They clearly mention the demand of the exam. âThe main exam is intended to assess the overall intellectual traits and depth of understanding of candidates rather than merely the range of their information and memory.â
2. Approach to Study? âThe questions are likely to test the candidateâs basic understanding of all relevant issues, and ability to analyse.â Focus on understanding an issue in all its facets, the context behind it, & know how to interlink & analyse it from multiple dimensions.
Have you got into the habit of delaying your happiness?As a #UPSC aspirant or even otherwise in life,we tend to believe that only when we accomplish a task,weâre entitled to feel happy.âIf I clear #UPSCPrelims2022 or get X job,only then I can be happy.âWhy do we delay it?A thread
Is happiness dependent on external factors?When we make our happiness contingent on getting that job,rank,salary or relationship-we are ensuring that we will never be in a state of happiness permanently.Why? Coz we will always want more-the next promotion,a bigger car,more money.
Donât allow yourself to be dictated by the âifsâ, âwhensâ or âbutsâ in life or wait for an outcome in the future to be happy.Aspirants pin all their hopes on the #upscresult every year,delaying their happiness constantly.While we wait for an outcome,life continues to pass us by.

#UPSCPrelims2022 was conducted yesterday. Now begins the seemingly long & frustrating wait for the results. Many may be filled with regrets:that they shouldâve studied harder,marked âXâ option, not second guessed,focused on CSAT,etc. #Regrets over the past plague us all.A thread:
Why do we regret certain events or the mistakes of the past? âI wish things wouldâve gone better, wish I had got that job,wish that relationship had gone right, wish I had spent more time with âXâ, wish Iâd been better back thenâ- we are filled with an infinite list of regrets.
But most of these things are not under our control. We may term several things in our past as mistakes,but thatâs only in hindsight. Sometimes we did what we did because that seemed to be the right option at that point. As we grow, our perception changes & we become wiser,better.
Today lakhs of aspirants will be writing the #UPSCPrelims2022. For many, it will be their first attempt,but for many others it will be their Nth attempt. No matter which attempt-most will be engulfed by similar feelings of fear & nervousness. Why? Due to the uncertainty.A thread:
Why does uncertainty unsettle us?We are the happiest when we get an outcome we expect with everything in life.We want the assurance that we will achieve any task that we undertake,else we may feel that thereâs no incentive to invest in it. But uncertainty in outcomes is certain.
Trying & failing at something doesnât mean that one has wasted time(#UPSC aspirants who have been in this cycle for a long time may have heard it several times that theyâve wasted their âprime timeâ). Instead,we must view an experience through the prism of learning,not outcomes.
