How to Study for Prelims

For Prelims, one should complete any one subject (reading and studying) and try to solve previous year questions from prelims papers(preferably of last ten years). The same process should be repeated for all subjects individually, for as many times as possible. Once this practice is over and confidence builds up, the combined paper should be taken up. It should be done in such a way that three months still remain for prelims(for first attempt, if needed a subsequent attempt, two to three months for prelims are enough). After such evaluation one should try to find out the areas where one finds oneself lacking, then these areas should be further taken for study and the above process be repeated.
Study-->Solve Papers--> Evaluate Performance-->Analyse-->Take Appropriate Action to Bring About Improvement.
This flowchart could be repeated for any subject.One should always keep in mind that, "PRACTICE MAKES A MAN PERFECT".
