🗓️ 🕵️‍♂️ Sherlocking Meet Minutes (Older Meet):

🦅👀 Don't be a rat, be an eagle (bird's-eye view ftw!)

📚💡 Basic sources, previous year papers, self belief. Rinse and repeat for shining results.

🔍🎲 Maximize attempts with logical backing. The answer is right there, waiting to be found. ~ 81 questions by the second iteration.

🎯🚫 Decisiveness. No faltering when there's logic as to why you feel an option is correct.

✅🔄 Mark as many possible in the 1st iteration itself.

🧩🔢 CSAT - no fretting about quant.

🌟🚶 It's a simple exam, no deliberate attempt to make an aspirant fail. Not easy, but no षड़यंत्र going on either.

💪❌ Don't lose to fear. Equal chance of failing or making it through, so might as well give the best shot anyway.

🚶‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I'll live even if I don't clear the pre, will worry about that when it actually happens. Keep going with studies for now :)

🚫👥 Cut demotivating people off.

🌀💼 Be the merchant of chaos since it's uncertain for everyone in the exam hall, think of it as an opportunity to find a way out, not a reason to give up.

🔮✨ Believe in the magic so that the magic works for you✨

How a community can help in UPSC Prep

If you want to go fast, go alone.

If you want to go far, go with a community!

Index posts consolidated. I'm certain this ardous task of organising this information will pay significant dividends for all of you.

This is why Elimination of late has gotten a bad name!

Simply because “bad actors” have claimed their fame with “mindless hacks” trying to retrofit every question with obscure approaches to show how scoring "150+" was a cakewalk.

Sherlocking is more refined without any false inflated claims but a high efficacy.

Don't trust me, this will help:

National Park Series - Revising via Active Recall through Youtube Shorts!

Revision doesn't have to be boring! And it is way more fun to revise through visual and audio inputs than through a long and dry PDF!

Women safety in Delhi?

https://youtube.com/shorts/Jt84_Oq1rDY

The answer is a good template on how to answer concisely.

Relevant for all since, unfortunately, women safety is an issue in practically all parts of India.

Course Update:

I can sense the eagerness with which the enrolled students are waiting for the 2023 Sherlocking Videos which makes me happy that you’re working hard and the rest of the videos must have been helping you so far.

UPSC Interview: Using Quotes - 'God Doesn’t Play Dice'

https://youtube.com/shorts/BEC5pYFPz7M

Truer words have never been spoken.

-"UPSC's syllabus is a vast ocean, anything can be asked": On paper, yes, but PYQ Analysis tells you the favoured themes.

-"CSAT is CAT": Sorry to break your bubble, but it's not. In 2023, 5-6 qns were beyond syllabus, Yes. But still not CAT.

-"I have to isolate and close myself into my room": Even the worst of the prisoners are afraid of solitary confinement. Why self inflict the worst misery with an unreasonable expectation?

-"I have to study 12hrs+": More is not always better. Cal newport has rightly assessed that 4hrs is the limit of deepwork. Add 4 more for the mundane tasks and 8ish hrs of study 5-6days a week is more than sufficient.

-"If I fail, everyone will say Moye Moye": Toxic people will say Moye Moye anyway. Even if you become IRS, they'll say "IAS तो नहीं बना ना". If you become IAS, they'll say, "5th attempt में बनकर वो 1st attempt वाली बात नहीं!".

Be careful while navigating mass media like YouTube and avoid oversimplification.
