    USE SUMMARIES TO STUDY AND STUDY IN SHORT BLOCKS. DON’T COVER THE ENTIRE STANDARD IN A WHOLE BIG CHUNK OF 3 HOURS. SPREAD IT OVER HALF AND HOUR AND KEEP REPEATING/REVIEWING YOUR KNOWLEDGE SO YOU DON’T FORGET

    Dear Cannceer,

    How about https://www.iasplus.com/en/standards
    After that it really comes down to question practice.

    I agreed with seagoat. I could not digest BPP textbook, the way they present the information is not very clear to me. I printed the material from IASPLUS to study.

    Basically, I read the theory part several time then attempt the exercise.

    Hello,
    To prepare for the IAS Exam you must know the
    1. Exam pattern:

    Step1:
    Paper I (General Studies)
    200 Marks
    Duration: Two Hours
    Number of Questions: 100

    Paper II (Aptitude)
    200 Marks
    Duration: Two Hours
    Number of Questions: 80

    Step2: Main Examination
    Step 3: Interview

    IAS Exam General Studies comprises a vast ocean of subjects and this paper needs to be mastered in order to reach the Mains examination.

    Go through the previous year question paper and take online mock test so that you can get which is your weak area and where you need to do hard work.

    Apart from this you can also give exams like
    SSC CGL: https://www.eduncle.com/ssc-cgl-recruitment-exam
    IBPS PO
    IBPS Clerk
    SSC CHSL
    UPSC

    The best way to study IFRS/IAS is to read the whole standard and write down only the important stuff on a piece of paper. This helps your brain to grasp the standard in a jiffy.

    For anyone’s convenience, i have written the whole IFRS 9 including introduction, measurement and disclosure down to one page.

    Anyone interested, mail me at sandeepspai2010@gmail.com.

    Why don’t you guys try the opentuition videos on the IFRS/IAS. They pretty much covers the thoery behind the standards. Its just around 2 hours per standards. You can then read on IAS plus to remember and then practice the exam kit questions for retention. I tried to read through the BPP textbook but its too bulky.

    Join one of the best coaching institute for cracking the exam in one attempt. Because their methods and techniques are quite simple to understand. Also time management is taught by experienced faculty so that students can solve tricky questions in minimum time.

    How to prepare for UPSC | Step-by-Step Preparation Guidance Tips For UPSC Civil Services Prelims
    Let us look at a 5-step full-proof preparation strategy for preparing for the Civil Services Examination.

    Step 1: Know the exam well

    Step 2: Strengthen your foundation

    Step 3: Upgrade Your Knowledge

    Step 4: Practice Answer-Writing

    Step 5: Mock-Test Based Learning/March Towards Prelims

    Now let us look at each of these steps comprehensively:

    Step 1: Know the exam well
    Before preparing for any exam, it is important to know the nitty-gritty of the exam well enough.

    Read through the notification of the UPSC exam carefully in order to acquaint yourself with the exam syllabus, exam pattern, exam timeline, and eligibility criteria.

    Once you’re through that, pick up the previous year papers and skim through them to get an understanding of what is actually asked in the exam.

    If you give a dedicated amount of time to do this exercise, you will save a considerable amount of time through your preparation journey!

    Alternatively, you can glance through the articles on our website to get comprehensive information about what the exam is! At this time, you should also start reading the newspaper. Check this article to understand how to read newspapers for UPSC!

    Step 2: Strengthen your foundation
    No matter what your background is, you need to understand the basics of the core subjects of the UPSC syllabus.

    Hence, refer to NCERTs, they can be downloaded from the official website of NCERT for free.

    Read them at least twice before making notes, and then read our NCERT compilations.

    You can get the NCERT compilations on our Telegram Forum (cl_civils) for free. Prepare your notes alongside these compilations in order to save time! Check out which NCERTs you need to refer to from here.

    Step 3: Upgrade Your Knowledge with standard books
    Once you have read all the NCERTs, it’s time to expand your knowledge by reading the standard books.

    You can get the entire booklist for UPSC preparation in the linked article.

    Read the books at least twice and then make your handwritten notes to be used for answer-writing practice at the later stage!

    You can also watch video lectures on our YouTube channel for important topics to supplement your knowledge.

    Step 4: Practice Answer Writing + Revision
    Answer-writing practice and revision play an important role in the entire scheme of UPSC preparation, especially for the UPSC Mains Exam.

    Once you have completed a subject from the NCERT as well as standard books, then you can start practicing answer-writing.

    Before that, it will be a futile exercise as you will have to depend on books for the content of the answer.

    At this stage, it is also important to incorporate consistent revision. You should keep your weekends free for a dedicated revision of whatever new you’ve learned during the week.

    Step 5: Mock-Test Based Learning Approach
    Two months before the prelims exam, you should incorporate a mock test-based learning approach. It will give you an exam feel. Once you get acclimatized, it will reduce exam-time stress.

    Sit for an actual exam-like mock test at the same time and then analyze your performance.

    Check your weak areas and brush up on the concepts that you may have missed.

    It will not only help you in anxiety management during the actual exam but will also prepare you extremely well for the exam!

    Apart from this, You can prepare for UGC NET Exams. The preparation Strategy will go almost the same.

    One thing that you have to add in both the exams that is Past year question papers and Answer keys, this will always be helpful for you https://www.anujjindal.in/ugc-net-jrf-admit-card-eligibility-result/
