How to write CSAT exam?


The CSAT exam is the first step towards the IAS civil services exam. This primary step is taken by lakhs of students. Around 14,000 clear this exams to move on to next step. A general knowledge, mental ability, comprehension etc are the key aspects of the CSAT game. There are many students who study but doesn’t clear, which can be due to these....

1.       Lot of students grill hours in front of books , but fail to manage questions. This is due to lack of practise in doing questions. Knowledge is important so is its application. The importance of doing practise test (at least 2 or 3) is forgotten by these students

2.       The approach during real test : Fear is a powerful emotion, when it exceeds certain limit, it will damage our capacity to do well. Lots of students fail because of fear rather than lack of knowledge.

3.       Style of writing CSAT : When Sehwag was asked “How  do you manage to get so many runs” he told “I play bal by ball”. The desperation of not getting runs in a ball doesn’t infect the next ball. In CSAT too its same way. Each ball (question) has some marks. In case you spend 10 minutes on a question and solve it, then its not worth it. The 10 minutes you spend on that single question could have been used for attempting many questions.

Many students especially in maths question has this feeling “i know to solve it..” and they spend lots of time in solving that problem. These students have won their personal battle of solving that question, but have lost the CSAT game.

4.       Taking too lightly: There are students who get into service in previous attempts but fail to clear the CSAT. These students are brilliant in CSAT game , but lost due to complacency.

A good approach in CSAT is to attempt the easy ones first, leave the harder time consuming ones for later. As in angry birds game, lets go for easy ones first, later we can try something adventurous after putting sufficient marks in our basket.
