HOW TO PREPARE FOR HCS

There is a saying “never too late” so today also you can start your preparation. I will suggest you first give priority to those subjects in which you have good command or you can focus on your favorite subjects. Make your own routine and schedule and try to give at least 8 hrs a day and divided time for each and every topic.

Remember questions can be asked from every corner of the subject or topics so don’t skip anything and try to cover each and everything. Plan your studies at least 6/7 months before the exam because too much dedication, patience, and determination is required for this.

 To increase your knowledge of current affairs read newspapers and magazines, watch breaking news and do it daily. Keep up to date every day.

Give as many mock tests as you can give. If possible take the help of your seniors. Try to solve previous papers and discuss with your colleagues. While discussion tries to explain to them the whole concepts of every chapter.

In the digital age, you can take the help of online tutorials and remember, always keep 1 hr for revision every day.  Don't forget to take care of your diet.
