4. Live evaluation
-Utility of directives

-Clear heads

5. Discussion on how to get started up with Internal Security.
The next assignment intends to make you practice effective structuring for Mains answer writing.

Assignment #n- Aim to finish it before the new year arrives.

1.Identify the sub parts of all the questions from GS1, GS2 and GS3 from 2022 Mains paper.

On a sheet of paper, mention the prelude if any, and the subheads you would make in the answer sheet.

This is an exercise in structuring, so I don't want you to write the answers or fill in content just now under those heads.

2.Download UPSC Mains 2022 essay paper and brainstorm over 1 essay topic from each section. Need not write the entire essay, just structure it and open themes that you would have expanded on, if you were to write it in the examination hall.


Just make that skeleton for those 60 questions & 2 essays, and I'm sure if you do that right, you would fill the flesh well in months to come.

Agenda:

1. Continue with GS1: History syllabus analysis+PYQs

2. Discuss my insights on what might have worked for me in IFoS Mains- (because it's easy to retrofit and make a narrative after the marksheet) and how those insights can help you in CSE(most of these exams need the same skillset).

3. I'll do some live evaluation as always, of some of my older answers.

4. Take doubts if any, based on the videos I'm posting on Prelims/CSAT/Mains exclusive topics or general queries.

Let me know if you have any more queries based on your study sessions from last week.
