GENERAL STUDIES - IAS EXAMS

2012-05-27T00:11:00.000-07:00

GENERAL STUDIES

The recent trend of questions in PRELIMS/MAINS Exam suggests that GS is something which in its own terms highly unique. It needs a SPECIALIST TRETAMENT. GS should not stress you, rather it should be a relaxing experience. It should be joyful.

In GS one may feel that anything and everything under the sun is asked. The student gets confused about what to study and what not to study. To be honest, as GS is an ocean there cannot be a totally comprehensive list of preparation material. However, if there is a focussed approach to the preparation, one can easily manage the stress of GS. There is not strict demarcation between Conventional Topics and Current section. You should update your notes with new information as and when you come across them in the news.

Approach for PRELIMS

(More than 80 questions in GS CSAT PAPER 1 PRELIMS based on our Guidance)

(View the Sample of Our GS Study Materials – Prelims)

As far as Preliminary exam is concerned FLASH MEMORY RETENTION (FMR) is very much vital. This FLASH MEMORY RETENTION is possible only with the approach of the concerned faculties. That’s what exactly is the strength you gain @ CrackingIAS. Rest you will come to know when you join us.

Approach for MAINS

(500+ marks in GS MAINS 2011 based on our Guidance)

(View the Sample of Our GS Study Materials – Mains)

As far as Mains exam is concerned INTERLINKING OF CONCEPTS (IOC) is very much vital. This INTERLINKING OF CONCEPTS is possible only with the approach of the concerned faculties. That’s what exactly is the strength you gain @ CrackingIAS. Rest you will come to know when you join us.

What not to do for GS?

Do not prepare for PRELIMS GS and MAINS GS separately. GS preparation is holistic and composite which demands a MINDFUL STRATEGY to be blended with exam orientation.

What More?

ASK OUR OLD STUDENTS. THEY WILL TESTIMONY US.

Sail through the GS Ocean with the Expertise of CrackingIAS.

Also the points which you notified during Mock Interview has helped me in rectifying my mistakes. Thank you Sir.
