Last updated on October 2, 2016 by Alex Andrews George

If you are confused what to do after your Prelims, you may read our the article ‘Prelims over! What next‘. Irrespective of your chances of clearing Prelims, all aspirants are advised to wet their feet in the waters of UPSC Mains Exam Preparation for the next 3 months. UPSC Civil Services Mains examination is an entirely different platform when compared to Prelims. Mains is a written test and the platform is bigger when compared to Prelims. There is a detailed syllabus, and there are nine papers in the exam. Papers for which marks are counted for final ranking include 1 essay paper, 4 general studies papers and 2 optional papers. There are also 2 other papers which are only qualifying in nature. Being one level above Prelims, to clear IAS mains, one require different strategies than those adopted for Prelims. But most aspirants, including those who score really high in Prelims are unsure about how to prepare for mains.

What matters is not your knowledge, but how well you perform in the Exam hall!

Irrespective your degrees, knowledge and skills what speaks about you in a UPSC mains exam is your answer sheet. The examiner does not know you; he has access to only your answer booklet and nothing else, and he evaluates each candidate based on what is presented in the answer sheet. So it is extremely important to frame your answers in the most impressive way, within the prescribed time limit. Knowledge about framing high quality answers in mains exam is necessary to make your answer sheets stand out. And to make high value answers, proper answer writing practice is advised.

Proper answer writing practice, good understanding of the latest UPSC syllabus and familiarity of current topics are important prerequisites of clearing IAS mains in flying colors. It is with this aim of equipping aspirants with the latest requirements of UPSC mains exam that we are launching today, Clear IAS Mains High Value Answer Writing Test Series. Take the best out of it!

    Developing writing skills, presenting the same, receiving feedback and improving progressively is the best practise. So utilising ClearIAS forum to submit it has as “Guest Article” is good platform to showcase everyone’s skill.

    Good effort and creative thinking…
