This post will find its use only for the unique set of circumstances seen this year.
The title of this post is really the most sought after query on most websites on civil service exams.Next year we will face a new CSAT.Until now,most aspirants including me,saw optionals as our friend and GS as our enemy,partly due to more weight-age for optionals and broader scope for GS.
but like they often say-'a known enemy is better than an unknown friend'!And so this year we must all learn to sleep with our enemy knowing well that the new exam,being unpredictable can both make or break the result.In such a case it a stellar performance in GS will hopefully neutralize a not so good show in CSAT and still give you a fighting chance to clear.
Your attitude is the key.Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.The announcement in December for CSAT may see varying reactions,but it is important to presume you might find it difficult and prepare accordingly rather than assuming it is to your strength and relaxing a little.the same is called to err on the side of caution.
first,all aspirants need a self valuation.You have seen the previous years papers and you have seen the portions both.I guess a fair estimate of time you will need to prepare for prelimns should be easy to ascertain.
come to this figure(i decided on three months,so planned to start from february 2010 but actually could only start from march 15), and add a month extra to it for unforeseen circumstances.
The date you arrive at will be the point where you will begin your countdown fro CSE 2011.After that you will not waste time planning and utilize time only executing plans already in place.So when do you plan then?
Now is as good a time as any to plan!
