1- The Reverse Approach: Start by analyzing the previous year's Union Public Service Commission prelims question papers. Though the Union Public Service Commission syllabus has mentioned many areas, you can see that more questions come from certain areas.
2- Follow a Test-Based Approach: It will help you to analyze your performance, find your strong and weak areas, compare your marks with peers across India, and avoid mistakes in the actual UPSC exam hall. You can learn a lot from the mock exam questions as well.

NCERTs often form the basic study in most of the subject preparation for the UPSC examination. Every country has an official version of education, and our country is reflected through these NCERT books. So, it is an official or government-sanctioned book and the content of these is highly reliable. Often NCERT books from the 6th to 12th of every subject are recommended so that candidates from varied disciples can understand the basics of all the subjects. However, the most important NCERTs and UPSC for each subject are:
1- Class 6 to 12 NCERTs for History

Applicants just need to be able to follow these tips and tricks:
Common sense: You Just need to read every question carefully with an open mind. Apply logic and think like a normal Indian or human. Understand the paper setter's psychology: consider what the examiner would have thought while framing the questions. Interlink: After reading a question, don't limit yourself to thinking that it's from a specific topic, say, forests in geography, that I haven't read and thus shouldn't attempt. Use your common sense and Be logical while applying all your knowledge to eliminate the options. Be smart: If you don't know the answer, then cross out the options that you know are wrong and then make a smart guess with the rest of the options.
