UPSC has released the list of common mistakes. At least after this PPT converted to PDF, people should not make it.


Here is the link

DOUBT:

In worst case scenario, by mistake if we bubble 25% of a wrong answer, and leave it as it is: Then it would be counted as 0 marks or Negative marks?@Neyawn

Pro tip - Don’t use any sharp object or try to avoid it for today and tomorrow morning like sharpener, blade , needle and even candle and lighter too because trust me even small cut or burn on your writing hand can irritate you for days and obviously nobody wants it… the most childish and very important thing to remember

@Wordsmithyy_nehrubose hi dost, I personally have/had this same problem that you have shared. Through personal experience, I have realised that even if we just lie on bed, eyes closed and listen to some soothing music without sleeping and being in senses, it helps big way.

Sharing one of my best treasure that my very good friend shared here couple of months ago. This is probably the most watched video on my youtube account this year. Have a look.


Having said that, I personally know someone who despite sleeping for just 2-3 hours the night before prelims, could manage to get >90 marks thrice in a row. So yes, have faith. More sleep is generally better but Indomitable spirit >sleepless night can also help in qualifying the prelims. It’s doable : )

Thank you for this....much needed
