HCS PT 2018: The Right Time is Now !

This year’s preliminary examination will be a different game altogether. A tough examination has became tougher as one has to attempt only the GS.  In this light there are two pertinent questions which demand immediate answer:

 1.    What should be the right strategy to minimize the risk and maximize the possibility of qualifying the first stage?

 2.    How to manage time as one can’t leave PT preparation for the last minute and also can’t  put all efforts for PT at the cost of GSMains, optional and gradual improvement of writing ability?

In light of the above questions one needs to understand that demand for PT is much different from GS Mains.

PT is more about range of information. But the point of issue is that there is no specific syllabus and demarcation line. This requires widespread knowledge both conceptually and factually. The whole process of content procurement for this stage has to be gradual even if one candidate is preparing from last 1,2 or 3 years. Along with it there is a misconception that in G.S aspirant has to just mug up the facts but unfortunately this mugging up can hardly help in clearing the exam. We have analyzed the new pattern and realized that preparation should be in much deep and micro level. Developing micro topic listing helps a lot in demarcating the possible boundary. We are also trying to do the same in our PT test series.

GS for HCS PT is tough; most of the students are worried about it, as there is no fixed length and breath. However, at the same time they also show trait of careless attitude by carrying loose mode of preparation. Aspirants generally go through N.C.E.R.T. books and some crash materials. N.C.E.R.T. books are certainly important, but only to begin with to have conceptual clarity. You cannot depend solely on these books. In the changing scenario one needs to walk extra miles. Figure out the areas and keep attempting question to know the level of preparation.

Another tough question for this year’s Prelim is – what is likely to be the cut-off? This theme always has been a subject of high speculation and gossip. This year too aspirants are worried for the same. A frequent question, I face is – what would be safe marks in the PT 2018? Well, if we look at the previous years’ scoring pattern, one can easily notice that larger count of student scored approximately 75%. However CSAT was a deciding factor then. But under the new pattern GS has become the only factor. Even if we know the figure, it is going to be only a psychological rubbing to our imagination for the future cutoff.

So my suggestion is simple just   kick start your preparation of prelims along with mains and gradually bring PT on the main track..

We have also started a series of PT practice test. It is free for all aspirants. We will be uploading tests frequently in this series.
