As you that the UPSC civil service mains exam consists of nine subjective papers with descriptive type questions. You are required to score the minimum required marks to get the interview call from the board. Thousands of people take the mains written exam and mostly all study similar material.
The best answer is one that showcases a writing style that is good, neat, systematic, error-free, aesthetic, and one that shows your clean grasp of facts. Aspirants always have a lot of queries about their preparation process such as ‘When to start preparing for UPSC?’ ‘How to start UPSC preparation from the zero level?’ ‘How to start writing practice for UPSC?’ This article is to clear one of these queries.
Types of Questions that Feature in the Paper and the Kind of Answers Needed
There is a fixed unsaid pattern to the questions that are generally asked in the papers. Every question has certain keywords that if overlooked could make or break your scores. The kind of answer needed is descriptive but the kind of content needed varies. Some questions need you to approach it from a particular perspective, some need you to look at it from a bird’s eye view while some just need you to report the facts.
Examine and Critically Examine Questions
When you are asked to examine, you have to probe deeper into the topic, get into the nitty-gritty, and find out the causes or implications of the topic. When ‘critically’ is added before or after ‘examine’, all you need to do is look at the good and bad of something and give a fair judgment.
