DOES ONE’S PREPAREDNESS FOR THE UPSC EXAMINATION DEPEND ON UNDERTAKING THE UPSC TEST SERIES?

Similar to how you would prepare for a task, all of you in our school days must have participated in numerous competitions, such as dancing competitions, debate competitions, quiz competitions, or anything else associated with them. Therefore, most of the time before entering the competition, we practice in order to be fully prepared and ready to perform on the competition day.

Similar to what I can compare with the UPSC examination, where aspirants for the IAS must go through a variety of dimensions and areas from every time we conduct research, we come across new terms or topics.

Now, preparing, preparing, and only preparing is useless unless you have put what you have learned to the test. For example, even if you learn to drive a car, you won't be able to practice it in a real situation until you have driven your automobile into the main road. Thus, in a similar vein, to evaluate your UPSC preparation, simply take the test series. This will enable you to assess factors like how well prepared you are for your exam.

BENEFITS OF TAKING TEST SERIES FOR UPSC PRELIMS AND MAINS

• If you attempt a test series, you will learn the areas or themes from which questions can be framed, making it easier for you to read that enormous topic into chunks. For example, if you are reading a topic from medieval history, you might feel bored and unsure of how to cover such a vast topic.
• If one visits an institution to take tests, they will be able to experience the UPSC-style environment, which will help them learn how to remain cool on the day of the exam and what they should do and what to avoid.
• One should estimate how long it will actually take to finish the exam. For example, in the preliminary exam, one must manage both time and the requirements to correctly answer this manyquestions. On the other test for the mains exam, one needs to be conscious of how they can respond to every question promptly within stipulated time and with well-curated and quality content, which is essential when taking the test.
• If all you are doing is studying the concepts, it will be useless until you have put them into practice in test series, which is the most accurate way to gauge your preparation. Like you are studying geography using the same approach, but when you try to answer a question, you are unable to, it will be necessary to change your strategy and approach.
• One will learn their strong and weak points so they may divide their preparation into the appropriate parts, concentrate on the regions that actually require it, and adjust their preparation accordingly.
• Similar to how it occasionally occurs, you might learn some new phrases and concepts while working through the test series that are neither included in any textbook you have been studying for a while. as doing so encourages you to discover new things, which is quite beneficial for UPSC preparation.
