Over the years, the difficulty level and unpredictability of questions in the Civil Services Prelims exam has increased. This changing nature of the UPSC Prelims exam has forced candidates to make drastic changes in their strategy. While traditionally, candidates prepare for the Prelims exam by focusing more on memorizing than understanding, the new pattern focuses on expanding their horizons and developing analytical skills. Keeping in mind this changed nature of the exam and after analysing the current challenges faced by candidates, Forum IAS has come up with a Prelims Exam Toolkit as an effective solution. This toolkit is a comprehensive collection of 13 booklets. It contains a question bank of 15000+ UPSC Prelims practice questions. Detailed explanations of these questions have also been included in it. Current Challenges in IAS Prelims Preparation
Changing Pattern: UPSC has improved its question making technique and developed a new pattern due to which elimination technique has become less effective. To solve Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), it is now important for the student to expand his knowledge and test it through more and more questions.
Inadequate PYQ Resources: Books based on previous year questions usually do not explain the questions comprehensively and also lack value addition, due to which the student's exam preparation is not done extensively.
Inadequate Practice Material as per Current Pattern: After completing the syllabus of a subject, practicing is an integral part of preparation. Practice not only helps in improving memory but also increases the confidence to complete the subject. Candidates are facing a challenge in finding material that can ensure holistic practice of the subjects based on the current pattern of UPSC.
For example, UPSC emphasizes on understanding and applying the topics rather than memorizing from books. A mix of basic books like NCERT and standard books like Lakshmikant for Politics and G.C. Leong for Geography is required for comprehensive coverage.
