@rock2army can you please throw some light on mains answer writing ?

rock2army last edited by @Hermione_Granger

@Hermione_Granger You can say i was over confident plus the paper was a bit difficult. I am working and always felt that i have the knowledge but i cannot present it in the mains paper. That is why i got not that good marks in both the mains to get through to the merit list.
This time around i was just focusing on mains and did not give much attention to pre.

@a2r0u2i0i2t7aras It is an art which i am also trying to master. I have subscribed to a 'Daily Answer Writing'Program of one good online coaching - link text. They have given me some good inputs and this time its look like i am better than previous attempts. I am working, so time is very less which i have to utilize it to maximum.
The UPSC expect clear cut answers ..say the question say "DISCUSS" then they expect that the comment is to be elaborated and you have to give some 2-3 examples. Critically analyse is different connotation and similarly Examine has different meaning and they expect answers in that line.
Even if you know the answer you have to present it in such a way that your knowledge and thoughts are reflected in that 150/250 words plus you have not taken more than 8 min to answer it so that other answers are not effected.
