High time for CSS Aspirants 2010

The Competitive Examinations (CSS) 2010 is around the corner. Many of you might be knowing about it. The forms are going to be available at designated centers by Dec 1, 2009 and examinations are going to commence from March 6, 2010. This leaves a very little time for those who intend to appear for the said examination. In such a situation, one needs to have some strong strategy for the preparation. With this post I would like to put forward some points that might help the aspirants...

1. Broadly speaking only three months are left for the preparation. I, time and again, emphasize that for CSS preparation, time management is the key to success. Since only three months are left, aspirants need to recalculate the time at hand and study burden. Once done with it, they must distribute the time accordingly.

2. In my personal view, I would say that aspirants must target the Feb 15, 2010 as the deadline and keep rest of the 15 days till commencement of examinations for revision, relaxation and final touches. I and many of the qualified fellows had the similar strategy.

3. The writing practice once again is important. Try to practice writing as much as you can.

4. By Feb 2010, the papers must be final. So, give secondary importance to new current affairs items. Read daily Dawn for follow up and developments on the older issues and spend more time on other subjects and writing practice.
