All my value addition notes from Shekhar Bandopadhyay at one place.

I have used only these notes to score 163 in Paper 2.

You will need a base note to use them as value addition though.

These won’t be useful unless you practice them rigorously in answer writing.

I have shared two tutorials on how to use them. Links are here

🔥Super Pro Tip for Prelims

💉There is an ADRENALINE RUSH that you feel every time you sit in the GS Prelims paper.

🍃This happens generally throughout the first 10-20 minutes(and for the first 20 Questions)

😰The RUSH makes you either leave a lot of questions in the beginning or pushes you to mark options which you would regret later.

⛓️Both the above scenarios make you very tensed in the questions to come, resulting into chaos in the mind.

🔨How to tackle this ADRENALINE RUSH ?

Here’s How!
1. Firstly out of the first 20 questions in the GS paper 1 don’t attempt(fill bubbles) more than 5-7 questions.
2. In each of these questions eliminate as many options as possible and keep them for 2nd reading and move on to the next ones.
3. After Question 20, you generally feel way more calm. This is the time that you attempt every question on its merit. Out of the next 80 questions in the first go you can attempt 50 to 55 questions. If the clock shows anything less than 10:45 AM on the day after the first reading you’ve pretty much overpowered the RUSH and you’re giving your best shot.

🧠Just remember that it will be felt by everyone and you are not the only one going through it. So, prepare yourself mentally for it.

Historical Geography Mapping
IR and Current Affairs Mapping
Environment Mapping

Based on Sources that UPSC has used and themes that UPSC has repeated.

Last year all the questions in the exam were from our free and paid mapping initiatives.
