Introduction to UPSC Prelims Exam

The UPSC Preliminary Examination is a crucial step towards becoming a civil servant in India. It evaluates your knowledge and aptitude, laying the groundwork for the subsequent Main Examination and Interview rounds. Understanding how to approach exam questions efficiently can significantly enhance your performance.

Key Tips for UPSC Prelims 2019

Here are some essential tips and strategies to optimize your performance in the UPSC Prelim Examination:

1. Filling the Attendance Sheet

Make sure to fill your attendance sheet meticulously:

Use a black pencil to put a dot. Examine it carefully. Use a black ballpoint pen to fill the dot.

Following these steps ensures that your attendance is recorded correctly, which is important for avoiding any administrative errors that could affect your performance.

2. Reading and Understanding the Question

Read each question carefully:

Understanding the question thoroughly is the first step to answering it correctly.

3. Prioritizing Questions

Attempt questions where you are 100% confident first:

This ensures that you secure the maximum marks on questions for which you are fully prepared.

4. Skipping Initial Filling of Answer Sheets

Do not fill in the circle in the beginning:

Use a pencil to put a black dot and then fill all the circles with a black ballpoint pen at the end. This reduces the chance of errors and ensures that your marks are accurately recorded.

5. Making an Informed Guess

Make a guess only if you are 70% or 80% sure:

While guessing, avoid partial attempts or half-finished answers as they can lead to incorrect marks.

6. Managing Negative Marking

Cut-off marks are not fixed and fluctuate:

Be aware that negative marking can affect your score, so approach each question with caution.

By following these steps, you can ensure a more systematic and efficient approach to answering questions in the UPSC Prelims 2019.
