What all are to be Avoided When a Few Days are Left for IAS Prelims Exam?

There are certain things to be taken care of, before Exam. Many candidates do prepare well whole year, but when Exam just knocks at the door, they start panicking and start feeling that they are unable to study properly. This should not happen at all, in case of the candidates who are preparing for the upcoming UPSC Prelims Exam. Do not panic if you can not someday fulfill your target; we all are human beings, we do have limitations. If you can not achieve your target someday, instead of panicking or feeling bad, give a second chance and try to fulfill them next time.

Here is a list of some points which you should keep in mind and actually try to avoid them during your Prelims preparation.

•    Do not cut yourself completely from the social life, just because it is Exam time. As breaks between studies, go out for sometime, talk to people whom you consider to be nice and influencial in your life.

•    Do not make studies tiresome and loaded. Instead, make studies fun filled; this way you will not be pressurized for the Exam preparation.

•    Do not make monotonous study schedule. Have breaks in between to give a fresh mind every time you start studying.

•    Do not indulge yourself too much into tea and coffee. These stuff are good till you intake them within limitation i.e. 2 cups a day may be. But as tea and coffee contains caffeine, so consuming them in huge quantity will create health problems.

•    Do not plan any new topic for study when only a few days are left for Exam. This may confuse you and bring your confidence level low. Instead, make revision more than one time so that you gain confidence and will surely motivate you constantly.

•    Do not exhaust yourself with longer study hours. Take breaks in between for better remembrance and better production.

•    Do not get involved into any negative emotions before exam. We, human beings are intelligent enough to manage things according to our comfort. So, avoid any kind of emotional stuff that gives a bad feeling during Exam preparation.

•    Do not merely waste time not doing anything. During the day, whenever you do not feel like studying, take a nap or do some light yoga and meditation or do anything which will not tire you up and by doing what you feel relaxed. This way you can study continuously without feeling exhausted.
