Let’s have a look at some important strategies to prepare for UPSC prelims.

1. Current Affairs:
UPSC Prelims include a section on Current Affairs. Aspirants should begin preparing for Current Affairs right away in order to have up-to-date information on relevant incidents on a regular basis.

Yojana Magazine, Newspapers (The Hindu/The Indian Express), Press Information Bureau (PIB) & Economic and Political Weekly(EPW) are important sources for UPSC exam 2022 current affairs preparation.

Aspirants can also get regularly updated current affairs as MCQs for better practice in the Question Cloud itself.

2. Mains exam preparation along with Prelims:

Because there is a syllabus overlap, candidates should prepare for both the UPSC Prelims and the UPSC Mains at the same time.

Examine previous years' question papers for CSAT or General Studies Paper-II in UPSC Prelims to determine your level. As a result, CSAT preparation is minimal; however, only you can make that decision.

Aspirants can get more previous years' UPSC question papers at https://www.questioncloud.in/.

3. Practice with MCQs:
Because the questions in the UPSC Prelims are all objective-type, it is critical to practice answering MCQs while studying.
