At Convert IAS, we frequently receive calls and queries from aspiring civil service candidates who have completed 60-70% of their syllabus but are struggling with writing answers and retaining the information they have studied.
Our response to these aspirants is always the same: why did you not start practicing answer writing from the beginning of your preparation? Writing answers alongside your studies would have helped with better retention and structuring of the information.
Don't make the same mistake. To succeed in the civil services exams, it's important to not only work hard, but work smart. This means practicing answer writing from the start of your preparation. We recommend writing at least one or two answers per day to improve your skills.
Best of luck in your preparation.
Sincerely,
