Dear Candidate,
All the very best for your upcoming examination. This exam is crucial for your career growth throughout the CSS hierarchy, and therefore a serious and smart preparation becomes imperative. Team Lakshya Plus has analyzed Previous Year Questions (PYQs) and available resources for this examination. Based on that, we feel that candidates are more or less well-versed with the rules and knowledge. Resources are also easily accessible through the websites of Nodal Ministries and Departments.
The main challenge is the retention of facts and revision of concepts. This minimizes silly mistakes and maximizes the overall score and percentile. To achieve this, Lakshya Plus went through PYQs and attempted to create mock questions that closely match the UPSC pattern.
Recent Amendments, Orders, and OMs have been favorite areas of UPSC. Also, PYQs generally keep 20-30% of questions of subjects like GFR, CSMOP, FRSR, RTI, etc., from related Orders/OMs/Websites instead of direct text. A real challenge lies in the trickiness and mixture of fact plus concept in the paper. We take care of all these factors. We promise that regular practice of our mock tests will help you revise the entire syllabus easily, retain the facts and concepts, and reduce silly mistakes in the examination.
Besides this, we are also in the process of providing you with pointer-notes in the final or penultimate week of the exam. It will be a handy, comprehensive, and last-moment go-to material. Be assured, that is going to give you almost 60-70 questions in the exam.
So, stay tuned and keep the hard work going. Ultimately, all resources are just a helping hand, and your real score depends on how much time you dedicate to your preparation.
