Chair - Thank you

This is my transcript of the CAPF Personality Test. It might be beneficial for the candidates appearing in the Interviews happening now, hence shared.

Why I would advise everyone to focus on CSAT and perhaps why I am not the one to give you advice on CSAT. I didnot practise a single question from CSAT going into the 2023 Prelims, and my score showcases this lack of effort. Fortunate to have cleared the exam, even after this suboptimal performance in CSAT. Dont depend on luck as much as I did when it comes to Prelims. Give due importance to CSAT. Leave no stone unturned.

This document contains the meaning of some of the usages in Malayalam that I have used in PYQ pdfs uploaded earlier. This might have created a problem for some of you. Hope this document solves the issues. Thank you Himanshu for pointing this out.

Prelims Strategy (11/n)

Hello everyone, it’s been sometime ! Hope all is well and you are keeping at it. There are 10 more days for Prelims. My opinion is to not stress out on unmet deadlines and study goals. You cannot humanly study everything that you couldn’t earlier, in these 10 days.
Irrespective of your preparation `level’, keep things light from now on till the D-day. Remember that, it will not be your gargantuan effort towards the last day that will give you the edge on the D-day, but your cool and composed mind. So do not worry about small or big targets that you would have missed or are going to miss. Practice calming yourself down and do the basics right. Sleep 7-8 hours if possible ( I know this will the most difficult ) , revise your Notes/Sources , practice UPSC PYQs, revise CSAT. Taking Coaching wala Mocks now will NOT be a good idea. Instead, rely on PYQs.

If enough people are up for it, perhaps we can take a session online where I would try solving the 2023 UPSC Prelims Question paper. Otherwise, keep working and start believing in the work.

From this response of the Poll, I have decided to make a detailed video of how I would solve the 2023 Prelims Paper 1 and share the link here.
