Priority Wise to do list before prelims :-

1) Polity, economy, environment- geography core conceptual clarity for the topics which are in the last 1 year news.

2) world IR places and Indian historical, geographical places+rivers+personalities+ tech terms, etc in the last 2 year news.

3) PYQs 2013-2023 GS
2018-2023 CSAT
2021-2023 CDS/GEOSCIENTIST/CAPF/ IES relevant GS questions

4) MOST important -: Practice and understand all the DECODES by heart ❤

One mathematically proven way of increasing your probability in clearing CSAT:

✅In CSAT, do attempt the number of questions in multiples of 4.

🎯For eg, if you have attempted 29 questions, just attempt 3 more. Even if they are wrong, it won't affect your score at all.

✍️Bcz you need only 28 correct both in case of 29 and 32 🐶

CSE 23 set A Q2

✍Statement 2 and 3 similar sounding. Using DECODE 6 to reach option A Or B. ( bcz minm one correct max two)
✍Now between A Or B choose B as I discussed last year in DECODE 5 ✅

@DECODINGUPSC

CSE 23 set A Q3

✍ Most of us know Mahua is North indian deciduous tree. Hence eliminate option D.
Now choose option B as discussed in DECODE 5 to reach at correct option ✅

@DECODINGUPSC

CSE 23 set A Q5

If you knew this answer in the exam time, good for you. But if NOT..

✍ Use DECODE 8 to choose between the option C or D. Now notice that using the word association DECODE 19 marshLAND would be more relatable with RANN of kutch.
👉Also in option B some salt pans are mentioned.. That also is similar ( DECODE 6) to the rann of kutch.
✨Hence the correct option to choose would be D ✅

Share these DECODES with fellow aspirants who are fearful with the new pattern and think that no observation or logics would work in the changed pattern.

@DECODINGUPSC

CSE 23 set A Q6

👉First logical method - we all have studied about option A ,B and C and never ever heard of Ilmenite and rutile. Hence option D would be best choice.

👉Second method - Option A and D are similar sounding ( DECODE 6) , So either A or D
And as it's again a geography question hence use DECODE 8 to choose between C or D.
✨So common of both would be D ✅

@DECODINGUPSC

CSE 23 set A Q7

👉 Same decode 8 to choose between C or D, now C is more preferred option here because Africa is full of various mineral resources, rather than Kazakhstan.
👉Also option B give hints that it's about some African country.

✨✨NOTE- UPSC sometimes gives answer of one question as a keyword in next question. Question no 8 also does mention about congo*


@DECODINGUPSC

CSE 23 set A Q11

👉 statement one is very generic, mark it correct ✅ DECODE 1
👉statement two gives a numerical number, that is very assertive and definite. Mark it wrong. DECODE 2

@DECODINGUPSC

CSE 23 Set A Q12

👉 Although first statement is PYQ, we should know this fact. But if still we have no idea, mark it neutral for a while and proceed further.
👉 second statement is clearly very extreme and assertive. Hence wrong❌
For ex, even if one marsupial is found tomorrow away from grassland , this statement would be wrong.
👉UPSC plays very safe. Like I said in DECODE 3
You will easily reach your answer without even knowledge of the first statement.

@DECODINGUPSC

CSE 23 set A Q13

👉 As per DECODE 7 it comes under category 1. That is, pure fact based. Hence A Or B should be chosen if we have no knowledge of the fact.
👉 Now between A n B, species** is more relatable to IUCN that UNEP

✨HENCE A CORRECT✅
