Last tweet has a gift for every aspirant😉🎁
1. How to deal with 'key terms' in the syllabus?
- Know that: terms are interrelated
- Take time to understand them
- Identify those that are similar
What next?👇🏼
- Now, learn key differences among these
- eg: Impartiality, neutrality, & non-partisan are similar (yet different)
Tip💡
Once you understand, develop (write) definitions in your own words
How to make your answers UNIQUE? ♕
- Content differentiation
Get real life examples to get that extra (1/2) or 1 mark
Tip💡
Don't get carried lured by over-writing, tho.
Means?👇🏼
Means that answers are checked by well qualified people. You can't befool them! Thus, ensure that you👇🏼
- Don't make answer just about your example
- Avoid being emotionally invested in explaining your eg
- Keep it relevant, brief & to the point
Okay @CSEWhy, what about Case Studies (CS)?
- CS is make or break for GS4 paper
- Find themes in PYQs but be prepared for new style
- Length to read & thus, befriend GS4 syllabus!
- Develop some frameworks; map actively with syllabus
How to approach real time paper?🤌
- Think actively
- Solve CS first & theory later
Why?🤔
- Theory has some certainty
- Hard to think with exhausted mind at end of 3 hrs paper
