Writing

Atleast answer to this question?????????????????????????? Ruksana I have already answered to your question. Look back. I did not write your name but I've answered. I've written answer to BPO question. I don't miss anybody's question.
You have to innovate then and there. By writing various tests you will get that style. Nothing to worry. Test series for optional subjects is very crucial is this aspect.





Varun's reply
Firstly, yours is a beautiful question and I appreciate your doubt. Let me explain it. I have told that institute question papers are useless because none of their questions appear in upsc. Secondly I've also adviced to work out as many question papers as possible i.e just mark the answers and read them and not to work them out as a test. Liverpudian's doubt is - if they are not going to be asked in exam why should one waste time with them?
Let me make myself clear. Both the statements I made are not contradictory. None of the questions will appear in the examination which institutes set in mock tests. Also these papers are useful when you are glancing through them. Please link both these posts with my previous posts too. INTERNET. You will not work out any question paper but you will just mark the correct answers using their key and you will quickly read through only the right answers and you will complete one test paper in 45 minutes.
The institutes set questions not in an abstract way but on the basis of current affairs. So it is very clear that the question may not be appearing in the examination, but the issue highlighted in the paper might be elaborated by you using internet and you may make hint points in the question paper itself. Henceforth you are increasing the scope of the question papers set by institutes. You won't lose confidence because you've not taken any tests here but ....contd.



but you will gain confidence because you have completed one question paper with thorough internet research and detailed answers with expanding the scope of the question paper also; all this in one hour's time. Whereas you won't get this confidence even if you religiously write the test. What good is it going to do to you. You won't be tested on the same grounds in UPSC. So even if you score 100% it will be useless. One major advantage in this method-IF YOU TAKE IT AS A TEST YOU WILL READ THE FOUR OPTIONS AND IN YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND THE WRONG THREE OPTIONS WILL GET REGISTERED TOO. Whereas in the method which I suggested, you are just reading through the correct answers and where is the confusion? Why to keep reading three unwanted wrong options formulated by some institute with an intention to confuse you? Let UPSC confuse us and we will face it. UPSC itself is giving us enough of confusions in prelims. So don't take extra effort to confuse yourself with mock tests.
