First of all, we would like to wish you a hearty congratulations on clearing Prelims! Clearing the Prelims is no small feat. You have already proven that you have the speed and accuracy to beat lakhs of candidates. However, the real battle begins now as your competition would be with all those who have cleared Prelims. In other words, your competition just levelled up.

 

Prelims vs. Mains

In the Mains, your competition isn’t the general crowd; it’s the top tier of aspirants who, like you, have cleared the first hurdle. You are now competing with the best. While the Prelims was a test of your Numerical Ability and Reasoning, the Mains is a test of 3 other sections apart from Numerical Ability and Reasoning. So, you now have the below sections to master:

  1. General Awareness (GA)
  2. Computer Knowledge
  3. English or Hindi Language

The Score Boosters: GA & Computer Knowledge

Unlike Quant and Reasoning, where a single wrong calculation can cost you minutes, GA and Computer Knowledge are time-saving score-boosters.

  • No lengthy calculations: You either know the answer, or you don’t.
  • High ROI: You can finish 40 questions of GA in 10–12 minutes.
  • Factual Strength: Memorizing facts, figures, and dates will give you a massive edge over others.

Don’t wait! To make full use of these 2 sections, start devoting 1 hour on a daily basis without fail. Remember, the more you delay, the less marks you will be able to score in these 2 precious sections.
