If you can recall the 4*100m relay ,you will often find that the last lap is most crucial and it has the potential to change the results of the relay completely !
You all must have been preparing for civil services for a year or few now ,but you might still get nervous when the notification is released . A lot of students come up with this question -‘ What to do in the last 3 months or 100 days ?’
These 100 days can be called the Last Lap of UPSC Prelims .Here is its significance :
1. Significant for consolidation of preparation
2. Current Affairs preparation
3. Test series
4.Health importance
There are certain basic rules to follow in the last lap.
Rule 1 – Consolidate your preparation
Check if you have completed the syllabus atleast once for now .If not,ensure you finish the uncompleted portions and subject first
Rule 2 – Monitor your test performance
Check if your scores are improving ,you are able to finish the paper on time and also coding the answers properly.
Rule 3 – Health
