5 reasons why you should take more UPSC Prelims mock tests

Last updated on June 6, 2020 by Alex Andrews George

You should take more UPSC Prelims Mock ExamsYou should take a lot of UPSC Prelims Mock Tests. Here are the top 5 reasons.

UPSC Civil Services Exam (CSE) is not like other competitive exams you take – be it SSC, PSC, CAT or anything of that sort. To clear UPSC Prelims, just knowledge is not enough. You need to be familiar with the type of questions asked. You need to know how to avoid negative marks. You need to know how to increase your probability of marking the right answers even for those questions which you are unsure.

And to acquire that skill, you need to practice the right mock tests. Yes, that skill can be acquired by practice! But only with the right kind of UPSC prelims mock test series. Now, let us check the top 5 reasons why you should take more mock tests before UPSC Prelims:

1. If you aim for a 130+ score in GS-Paper1

Considering the trends of the past few years, a 130+ score out of 200 marks for GS Paper 1 may be considered as a safe score to clear UPSC Prelims.

If competition is higher, you may even need to score way above the 130s. However this not easy.

If there is any short-cut to achieve high marks within a limited time, then that is more mock tests! Talk to all UPSC toppers, they will agree on one thing – the importance of UPSC model tests.

130+ Prelims Marks is Possible. Only if you are guided the right way.

2. Not to panic at the exam hall!

Have you ever thought why aspirants with a lot of knowledge and potential fail to clear UPSC Prelims?

Yes, you guessed it right – lack of practice.

Only when tested in an exam atmosphere with negative marking, an aspirant can improve the ability to deliver in the actual exam hall.

Practice makes a man perfect.

3. To learn important concepts faster!

Learning is not complete without practice

There are a lot of highly helpful concepts which you can quickly learn from quality mock questions.

Not only that, if you are lucky you may get a lot of similar questions in actual UPSC exam just like what happened with ClearIAS mock tests in the previous years. That will be a huge bonus!

4. To assess UPSC competition before the actual exam

Of course, attending quality mock tests would help you know the UPSC CSE question-standards. But how can you assess the standard of your peers? How can you know where you stand?

If you can enroll for a pan-India mocks tests with real-time ranking, then you can sort of assess UPSC competition before the actual exam.

Extra info: ClearIAS mock tests provide performance analysis feature which helps you find your strong and weak areas, in addition to all-India ranking.

5. To increase your confidence level for UPSC CSE Mains

A high score in General Studies Paper 1 can not only help you clear Preliminary exam with ease but also will boost your confidence for mains as you will be strong in your conceptual understanding.

The more mock tests you take and revise the more confidence you will get.

Conclusion:

Importance of practice

Mock tests can give you that extra edge you badly need to clear IAS Prelims.
