    What's the story

    The Indian Civil Services exam, commonly referred to as the IAS exam, is conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) each year.

    The exam is considered one of the toughest in India, but with thorough preparation and strong determination, one can crack it.

    Here are certain habits that will help you crack the UPSC exam in your very first attempt.

    Objectify and break

    Objectify the UPSC syllabus and break into shorter sections

    Objectify and break-down: Since the syllabus for the Civil Services exam is so vast and diversified, students might get nervous right at the beginning.

    Hence, it is important to understand that the syllabus is clearly specified, thus manageable.

    Also, one should look to objectify and break-down the syllabus into attainable parts and then formulate a plan, and go about the execution accordingly.

    Timetable, Discussions

    Discussions and debates: Do indulge yourself in productive, quality discussions and debates from time to time, with other aspirants and your friends. This will help you get hold of different perspectives and approach issues from various angles.

    Mock tests

    Keep practising mock tests and past years' papers

    Thoroughly practise mock tests and past years' papers to get a fair idea of question framing, difficulty levels, and time management.

    This will give you an added advantage, as you'll be able to constantly monitor your progress, analyze it, and improve in areas where you might be lacking.

    Further, being familiar with papers will help brush off exam anxiety, and improve your confidence level.

    Writing and reading

    Writing skills: The thing about the UPSC exam is that studying alone won't help- attempting the paper is equally important. Thus, it is advisable to enhance your answer writing skills before the exam day comes.
